Which UPI App Should Your Business Use?
India's UPI ecosystem has multiple apps — Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, Amazon Pay, CRED, and more. For businesses, the question is: which one should you use to accept payments?
The good news: with ToroPay, it doesn't matter which UPI app your customer uses. They all work.
How UPI Works for Businesses
UPI is a payment system, not an app. Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm are just interfaces to the same UPI infrastructure.
The Best UPI Apps for Receiving Business Payments
1. Google Pay
Most popular UPI app in India. Excellent reliability and fast processing.
2. PhonePe
Second most popular with a strong merchant ecosystem.
3. Paytm

4. BHIM (by NPCI)
The original UPI app by the government. Simple, direct, and reliable.
5. Amazon Pay
Growing in popularity among Amazon shoppers.
6. CRED
Popular among premium users and urban professionals.
