Best Payment gateways & UPI in India (2026)

Payment gateways let you collect money online through UPI, cards, net banking, wallets and EMI, and settle it to your bank. In India the gateway choice affects success rates, settlement speed and the fees you pay on every rupee, so it deserves more attention than the sign-up flow suggests.

How to choose payment gateways & upi

Compare the total cost: MDR on UPI is zero by regulation, but cards, net banking and international payments carry 1.5–3%, plus GST on fees.

Ask for success-rate data on your traffic mix. A gateway with weak bank integrations loses a few percent of every checkout silently.

Check onboarding requirements — website content, business registration, bank verification — before building the checkout.

What to look for

  • UPI, cards, net banking, wallets and EMI
  • Payment links and pages without a website
  • Recurring payments and e-mandates
  • Payouts and vendor payments
  • Smart routing for higher success rates
  • Settlement cycles (T+1, instant)
  • Plugins for Shopify, WooCommerce and apps
  • Dashboards, refunds and dispute management

Payment gateways & UPI — frequently asked questions

Which payment gateway has the lowest fees in India?+

UPI is free of MDR on every gateway. For cards and net banking, most mainstream gateways charge around 2% plus GST; volume businesses negotiate lower rates. Compare success rates before fees — a 3% drop in success costs more than a 0.3% fee difference.
