If you're just starting out with a small app, freelance service, or MVP for a game or delivery system, getting a full-fledged payment gateway (like Razorpay or Cashfree) can be tough — especially if you don’t have GST or a registered company.
If you're just starting out with a small app, freelance service, or MVP for a game or delivery system, getting a full-fledged payment gateway (like Razorpay or Cashfree) can be tough — especially if you don’t have GST or a registered company.
But the good news is:
You can still accept real UPI payments using merchant QR codes from PhonePe, Paytm, or tools like UPIGateway.com — without all that documentation hassle.
At Innovalogic, we use this method for clients who want quick payment integration, fast approval, and don’t yet have company documents.
Let’s break it all down 👇
Payment gateways like Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU require:
Company registration (Pvt Ltd or LLP)
PAN card of business
GST certificate
Website with policies
This is required by RBI compliance and fraud prevention protocols. But if you’re just starting out or testing an MVP, it might feel like overkill.
That’s where UPIGateway.com and direct merchant QR-based UPI payments come in.
UPIGateway.com is a third-party UPI API provider that lets you:
Accept UPI payments (via PhonePe, Paytm, GPay, BHIM)
Use merchant QR without needing a company or GST
Get paid to a personal UPI ID or merchant UPI
Monitor and verify payments via APIs
Integrate into mobile apps, websites, Unity games, PHP, etc.
⚡️ Fast Approval: Usually within 24–48 hours
💼 No GST or Company Documents Required
📲 Ideal for indie developers, freelancers, small apps, early-stage startups
Yes, with limitations.
You can generate a merchant QR from PhonePe for Business or Paytm for Business, and share it in your app. But…
❌ No API for auto-verification
✅ Only shows "Payment done" if manually scanned
⛔ No webhook or transaction confirmation
🚫 High risk of fraud without confirmation logic
That’s why tools like UPIGateway.com are better — they offer APIs to validate & confirm UPI payments in real time.
Yes — when used properly.
Your users pay to a real UPI ID (like you@upi)
You verify payments using a secure transaction token or reference ID
All payment logs are shown in their dashboard
No risk of user card theft — UPI is handled by their bank or app
👍 Safe for MVPs, low-risk apps, personal projects, and solo apps
Most UPI systems (linked to individual or merchant accounts) have limits:
Personal UPI ID: ₹1,00,000/day (bank limits may vary)
Merchant UPI: ₹2–5 lakh/day depending on provider
Per Transaction: ₹1,00,000 usually
For bigger volumes, you’ll eventually need:
A merchant UPI account (PhonePe/Paytm Business)
Or full gateway (like Razorpay, etc.)
Here’s a simplified version of how to use the API in PHP:
It will generate a UPI deep link or QR that your user can scan and pay.
At Innovalogic, we’ve helped clients who:
Have no GST or company registration
Need instant UPI payments in their Unity game or Android app
Want a test market product with working payment flow
