What payment software should do

  • 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

How to choose payment software

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.

BudgetEntry pricing starts at ₹5/month in this list.

Payment software — frequently asked questions

Which payment software is best in India?+

On App Advisor's ranking, PayU, Razorpay, Paytm Payment Gateway lead this list of 54 products. "Best" depends on your size and workflow, so use the shortlist tool with your budget and team size rather than taking a ranking at face value.

How much does payment software cost?+

Published pricing in this list starts at ₹5 per month. 4 of the 54 products have a free plan. Products sold only on request show "On request" — we never estimate a price a vendor has not published.

Is there free payment software?+

Yes — 4 of the 54 products here have a real free tier, not just a trial. Free plans usually cap users, records or transactions, so check the limit against your monthly volume before you commit.

Is there payment software made in India?+

43 of the 54 products listed are built in India. That usually means GST, TDS and UPI are handled natively, support runs in Indian hours and invoices come in rupees.

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.
