Which gateways can I connect for WhatsApp payments?

WhatsApp payments: get paid in the conversation, not three links later
A WhatsApp payment is money a customer sends to a business from inside a WhatsApp conversation, usually in response to an itemised order. Every hop between "yes I want it" and "payment received" loses customers. Send an order details message and the whole journey shrinks to a single tap on Pay.
Included in the platform licence. Not a paid add-on.
The short version
- Razorpay and PhonePe connect to WhatsApp native pay.
- Order details templates carry an itemised order and a pay button.
- Payment requests can go out in a campaign or inside a bot.
- Success and failure each trigger their own follow-up.
WhatsApp payment in brief
A WhatsApp payment through WappBlaster starts with an order details template, the message format Meta designed for collecting money, which itemises the purchase and ends in WhatsApp's own pay button. The WhatsApp commerce and messaging platform connects Razorpay or PhonePe behind that button, so the customer settles the amount without leaving the conversation or opening a separate link. The differentiator is what happens next: a successful payment can trigger a receipt or a bot flow, and a failed one sends a retry prompt automatically rather than being forgotten. Requests can go out to a list as a campaign for dues, or appear as a step inside a chatbot at the point of decision. Setup takes 4 steps: connect the gateway, create the order details template, send it, and automate both outcomes. Collections teams use it for invoices, fees and renewals. Businesses on a different gateway will not get native pay here, and buyers who prefer cash on delivery should keep that option.
How do WhatsApp payments work?
The business sends an order details message listing each item with WhatsApp's own pay button, and the customer completes payment without leaving the chat.

When WhatsApp payment is the wrong choice
- If your gateway is neither Razorpay nor PhonePe, native WhatsApp pay is not connected for you here.
- Customers who prefer to pay on delivery or at the counter will ignore a pay button, so keep those options open.
WhatsApp payment FAQ
Straight answers about WhatsApp payment.
Does the customer leave WhatsApp to pay?
Not when native pay is set up through a connected gateway: the customer completes payment in WhatsApp’s own checkout screen. Native pay is not offered in every market or with every gateway, and in those cases WappBlaster drops a payment link into the conversation for the customer to tap.
Link to this answerWhat if the customer’s payment does not go through?
That is up to you. The usual setup sends a message straight away with a link to try again, and some businesses add a brief bot flow asking whether something went wrong or the customer simply decided against it.
Link to this answerDo payment messages need approved templates?
Yes, order details and order status are utility template types that Meta approves before use, and they are charged at the utility rate rather than the marketing rate.
Link to this answerHow much does WhatsApp payment collection cost with WappBlaster?
Payment messages are included in the platform licence. The order details template is billed by Meta at the utility rate, and any transaction fees are set by the gateway you connect, Razorpay or PhonePe.
Link to this answerIs WappBlaster a WhatsApp payment solution for India?
Yes. It connects Razorpay or PhonePe behind WhatsApp's native pay button, sends order details messages from campaigns or bots, and triggers one follow-up when a payment goes through and another when it fails.
Link to this answerCan I send payment reminders to many customers at once?
Yes. Payment request campaigns go to everyone with an outstanding amount, each message carrying an itemised order and a pay button.
Link to this answerWhat is the best WhatsApp payment setup for subscription renewals?
Send a renewal message with a pay button on the due date instead of asking customers to log into a portal, then let the success flow send the receipt and the failure flow send a retry prompt.
Link to this answerCan I take a booking deposit on WhatsApp?
Yes. An appointment can be confirmed with a deposit collected in the chat, and event or course fees work the same way alongside registration.
Link to this answerDoes the customer get a receipt after paying on WhatsApp?
You can send one automatically. A successful payment triggers the message or bot flow you choose, which is usually a receipt.
