Migrate from UPI Collect to UPI Intent - Standard Checkout
Steps to migrate to UPI Intent/QR code flows for Standard Checkout integrations across Web, mWeb and mobile app platforms.
According to NPCI guidelines, the UPI Collect flow (Pay with UPI ID/Number) is being deprecated for new UPI Autopay registrations and will no longer be supported after 28 February 2026.
- Customers can no longer register UPI mandates by manually entering VPA/UPI id/mobile numbers.
- Save VPA and Validate VPA features will not be available after migration as these features work only with the UPI Collect flow.
Handy Tips
Subsequent debits for existing mandates created via UPI Collect will continue to be executed without any change. No immediate action is required for these.
Exemptions
UPI Collect will continue to be supported for:
- MCC 6012 & 6211 (IPO and secondary market transactions)
- iOS mobile app and mobile web transactions (exempted until further notice)
- UPI Mandates (execute/modify/revoke operations only)
- eRupi vouchers
- PACB businesses (cross-border/international payments)
Action Required
Remove the UPI Collect option from your checkout by 28 February 2026 and continue to support Intent-based UPI payments. This applies to payments made via all desktop browsers and Android devices (mWeb and mobile app). Failure to comply with the deadline will result in a disruption to your payments experience.
