UPI Payment Method Now Available

Stripe has added support for UPI (Unified Payments Interface), India's real-time payment system, enabling merchants to accept both one-time and recurring payments from Indian customers.

What's Changed

This release introduces UPI as a new payment method available through the Stripe API. The feature enables businesses with customers in India—or Indian customers outside India—to offer a native, locally-preferred payment option alongside existing payment methods.
