How to Enable Tap and Pay UPI on Google Pay
If you’re looking to enable the Tap and Pay UPI feature on the Google Pay application for your Android or iPhone device, here’s a step-by-step guide. Keep in mind that this feature is currently available only in a limited number of countries and on specific devices.
Update Google Pay
- Open Google Pay: Start by opening the Google Pay app on your device.
- Check for Tap and Pay Option: If you don’t see the “Tap and Pay” option, you may need to update the application.
- Go to Google Play Store: Open the Google Play Store on your Android device or the App Store on your iPhone.
- Search for Google Pay: Type “Google Pay” in the search bar.
- Check for Updates: Look for any available updates. If the app is already updated, you’ll see a notification stating that.
Understanding UPI Light
The Tap and Pay feature works through UPI Light, which allows transactions of up to ₹500 at a time. Here’s what you need to do:
- Ensure Sufficient Balance: Make sure you have a sufficient UPI Light balance for your transactions.
- NFC Settings: Ensure that your device’s NFC (Near Field Communication) feature is turned on.
Conducting a Transaction
Once everything is set up, follow these steps for a successful transaction:
- Open Google Pay: Launch the Google Pay app.
- Navigate to Tap and Pay: Click on the “Tap and Pay” option on the home screen.
- Select UPI Tab: Make sure you are on the UPI tab.
- Enter Amount: Input the amount you wish to pay, ensuring it’s under ₹500 if using UPI Light.
- Proceed with Payment: Click on “Tap Next” and hold your phone near the receiver’s NFC-enabled device (e.g., a payment terminal).
- Select Payment Method: Choose the payment method you wish to use.
- Complete Transaction: Click on “Tap and Pay” to finalize your payment.
Post-Transaction Steps
- If your transaction amount exceeds ₹500, you can still proceed using other payment methods.
- After a successful transaction, you can either close the app or take a screenshot for your records.
