Confirm Payment on Chat
Through this feature, users will be able to get the confirmation of payment made to Merchants. Let me tell you that Paytm has made the Inbox feature available to 27 million users and 50 million merchants. Paytm Senior Vice President Deepak Abbott said that this feature will prove to be very helpful for users and merchants. At the same time, Paytm Founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma said that soon Android and IOS users will start receiving Inbox Feature updates.
At present, Whatsapp is the main platform of messaging. This app has 1300 million daily active users worldwide. In this way, the launching of Inbox feature of Paytm can prove to be a tough challenge for WhatsApp. Let us know that according to the Google Play Store, this app has been downloaded more than 50 million times so far.
In addition to Whatsapp, Paytm Inbox feature can be copied from Hike, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and WeChat. Let you know that Hike has also been downloaded more than 50 million times. At the same time, Telegram has been downloaded more than 100 million times, Facebook Messenger more than 1 billion times and WeChat has been downloaded more than 100 million times.
Where Paytm has launched the messaging platform and has hit Whatsapp. At the same time, Whatsapp is also preparing to step into the payment service sector soon.
Soon, WhatsApp will also make available its UPI integrated payment service. It is clear from the reports from the past few days that WhatsApp Digital Service is going to start. According to the news, this service will be available first in India. According to the new reports, the WhatsApp Payment Feature has reached the testing stage and in December it can be made available to Indian users. According to the Factordaily website's report, WhatsApp is almost ready and the test has reached the stage, which the company can officially roll out till December for Indian consumers.
Of course, Paytm is also a huge platform in India, with a user base that grew exponentially after the demonetization initiative in November 2016 - Paytm also says it now has over 200 million wallets. The two companies are getting more and more alike, but they're coming to the same place from different directions, so it's going to be interesting to see which one offers the more comprehensive experience to users once WhatsApp's payments features are live.
