Razorpay is making it easier for users to pay businesses by introducing a speedier checkout option, as the leading Indian payments Infrastructure Company competes for a larger share of the world’s second-largest internet market.
The new Magic Checkout function remembers shoppers’ information — passwords, credit card numbers, and addresses — during their initial transaction and prefills them when they transact with the same business or any other that uses Razorpay to handle payments, according to the startup.
Magic Checkout, which is comparable to Bolt and Fast’s offerings in the United States, is Razorpay’s attempt to assist retailers avoid the 70 percent drop off that occurs during the final phase of the transaction process, according to the startup.
According to the startup, the feature supports all payment options, including cash on delivery, and requires minimum integration on the business’s end. “With this new checkout experience, shoppers can now check out 50 percent faster, while retailers can expect a 20% boost in conversions, resulting in a 20% gain in income for a business,” it stated.
Razorpay, which counts Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital India, Y Combinator, and Salesforce among its supporters, made a series of announcements during its annual event called FTX on Thursday.
Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar launched the company over seven years ago, and it just announced that it has grown by more than 300 percent for the second year in a row.
The business has processed over $60 billion in transactions for its customers as of early December, surpassing the $50 billion goal it set for itself last December.
By the end of next year, the startup, which has over 8 million customers, expects to conduct $90 billion in transactions.
Razorpay has positioned itself as India’s leading payments infrastructure provider, competing against PayU and Cashfree. Stripe, the global payments behemoth, has been operating in India for several years but has unable to make significant gains.
Two of its top executives, including the country manager for Stripe in India, resigned earlier this year to launch their own cross-border payments company.
