Common questions

FAQs

How is UPI Setu different from other payment gateways offering UPI products?

Setu is certified as a switch by NPCI, the authority overseeing all things UPI. This certification gives us direct access to NPCI systems, allowing us to provide seamless integration, better uptimes, detailed statuses, and smart error handling. Because we’re a UPI switch, we’re quick to market with new features from NPCI and can actively address merchant concerns in collaboration with NPCI. We’ve crafted a top-notch, merchant-focused UPI solution. Instead of simply adding UPI as another payment option, we’ve thoughtfully explored the various ways UPI can enhance your business. Our features are accessible via APIs or through our low-code dashboard, allowing you to onboard yourself as a merchant or manage other merchants with ease.

How does UPI Setu provide better integrations, detailed statuses and smart error handling?

Setu has API-first UPI products that can assist merchants in fast onboarding. We have enabled granular and consistent success, failure and pending statuses across payments, registration, execution or revoke of mandates. You can either get a callback for status updates or ping for the latest value, and define multiple callback URLs to better segregate alerts. We pass on information about all error categories and descriptions made available by NPCI, so that you can assess the performance of your mandate payment flows. We handle failures with in-built retries to improve conversions, and use data on bank performance to optimise when retries are triggered. We also have APIs specifically tailored to merchant aggregators who want additional information about the performance of their merchants.

What are the important features UPI Setu provides for payments or mandates?

Setu takes care of everything UPI can offer, and is up-to-date with the latest features NPCI provides. We allow intent-based mandate registrations on Android and a customisable app drawer view for iOS, where a customer can choose the app they want to use for managing their mandate. We let you use TPV as an add-on to mandate registration, where you can customise the logic we use to decide whether a bank account can be used for future payments. We support specific use cases that your business category needs, like blocking customer-initiated mandate revoke for the lending category, or supporting a high execution limit for investment SIPs.
