The WatEase Paytm integration connects the Paytm Payment Gateway — including its subscription support — to your WhatsApp storefront, so buyers complete checkout inside the conversation. It ships in the product today as a first-party connector and serves as an alternative UPI and wallet processor alongside Razorpay and PhonePe: same checkout surface, same order timeline, your choice of processing rails.
Like every payment connector on the platform, Paytm payments resolve into one record: refunds, partial refunds, and dispute evidence flow back into the WatEase order timeline automatically, next to the WhatsApp conversation that produced the order. The buyer side stays one-tap simple — UPI deep-links open the customer’s own payment app, they confirm, and they are back in the chat.
How the Paytm integration works
Paytm PG with subscriptions, behind WhatsApp checkout
The connector covers the Paytm Payment Gateway for consumer checkout, with subscription support for businesses that bill on a cycle rather than per order. That makes Paytm a fit both for one-off WhatsApp catalog sales and for repeat-billing models, on rails a large share of Indian consumers already hold balances on. Merchants can run Paytm as their primary gateway or alongside the platform’s other live processors, Razorpay and PhonePe.
UPI deep-links keep the buyer in the conversation
WatEase wires UPI deep-links directly into checkout, so a customer taps once and pays from Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, or BHIM without leaving WhatsApp. There is no external cart page to abandon and no card form to mistype on a phone keyboard. This is the platform-wide payments design: UPI first-class, everything else behind it — because that is the order in which Indian buyers actually reach for payment methods.
Guided setup, encrypted credentials
Connecting Paytm is a guided credential flow that typically takes 3–5 minutes — no developer required. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, isolated per tenant in ap-south-1 (Mumbai), with rotation supported from the dashboard. The connector manages its own webhook registration, retry and backoff policy, and reconciliation cadence, the same operational contract every first-party WatEase connector ships with.
Failure handling and the health dashboard
When an upstream gateway rate-limits or returns errors, WatEase queues and retries with exponential backoff rather than dropping the event; persistent failures surface in the integration health dashboard with the upstream error code so you can act before a customer notices. For your own back office, the outbound webhook API emits order.created, payment.captured, and every other event — HMAC-signed with a per-tenant secret and carrying idempotency keys.

Multi-gateway setups
Run Paytm alongside Razorpay and PhonePe — all three are live connectors feeding the same order timeline.
