The portal is easy to understand. Anyone can use this payment gateway on their website or app. Small businesses also can use this gateway to accept payments from their customers. Payment notifications are instant and received fund gets settled in bank account without any delay. Provides less payment gateway charges for debit, credit, and prepaid cards where with UPI and rupay payment gateway charges are zero. It has a unique dashboard to monitor transaction details. Available in both web and mobile application.

Skrill is my preferred way of doing money transactions abroad typically when I need a safe secured and efficient way of sending money overseas and the amount is low. Most other portals tend to charge a transfer fee for lower amounts but Skrill does not charge a transaction fee when I use the ACH Transfer even for lower amounts. For personal use, I have used the debit card to fuel transactions and it allows you the same facility as the debit card. If I need to complete the transaction within a day and want the money to be available in the receiving account overseas the same day, I prefer another portal that has the option of express service that Skrill does not offer.

Cons
Pi by Paytm
  • One of the not so convenient things on Paytm is that if there is a connection failure while making a payment, your money is not credited directly to your bank account but rather to the Paytm Wallet, and this money can only be used by the Paytm platform.
  • In Paytm, user verification requires a personal visit to their physical offices, this can generate a lot of discomfort among potential users since if we want to use a virtual service it is precisely to encourage time saving.
  • You should be very careful when making purchases through Paytm's direct store, since in many occasions there are products of lower quality than the one offered and even fake products, it is better to use it to make payments to third parties and in considered amounts.

We ended up using Tipalti which seems to have solved our specific needs better, though it is more expensive.

I use Paytm just for the ticket booking system. For most of my daily transactions, Google Pay is the way. Google Pay has provided things very simple and faster. They always focus on a user-friendly env rather than adding everything to the app. They kept the app more simple and more useful.

I use different payment systems depending on the goal. Skrill is good when my contractor prefers this way of payment. Also, Skrill is a preferred payment option in many online services, which makes it easy to use. Also, Skrill issues a real plastic Visa card you can use like any bank card.

Return on Investment
Pi by Paytm
  • It decreased checkout time for the user which allowed us to increase user experience.
  • Rarely, I used to face issues with transactions. If order got cancelled refunding of money, settling them etc.,
  • Since Paytm has link with UPI and I am able to collect money from any UPI applications, using credit or debit card, and internet banking it acted as single stop solution for me. There is no need to have multiple payment gateway options.

  • Possibility of hiring freelancers for my company with immediate payments.
