Title: UPI QR Code Payment Gateway Author: Dew Technolab Published: March 17, 2021 Last modified: October 11, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=2498140) ![](https://ps.w.org/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2498140) # UPI QR Code Payment Gateway By [Dew Technolab](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dewtechnolab/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway.1.5.1.zip) * [Details](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/#description) * [Reviews](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/#reviews) * [Installation](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/#installation) * [Development](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/) ## Description Accept **UPI payments** on your WooCommerce store with a **UPI QR code**. Customers scan it with Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, WhatsApp Pay or any banking UPI app, and the money goes straight into your bank account, with no payment gateway fees. UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is India’s instant payment system, run by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). It works 24×7. #### Features * UPI QR code with the exact order amount and order number, on desktop and mobile, with an optional “Download QR Code” button on mobile. * Customers enter the 12-digit UPI Transaction ID (UTR) and can upload a payment screenshot. * Works with the classic checkout and the WooCommerce Checkout block. * Orders wait On Hold until you confirm the payment in your bank or UPI app. * The same UTR can’t be used for two orders, and the UTR and payer UPI ID appear in the Orders list. * Payment screenshots are stored privately, not in the Media Library, and only shop managers can open them. * Unpaid UPI orders get extra time before WooCommerce cancels them (24 hours by default), so customers who pay and come back later aren’t lost. * Optional email with a payment link for customers who haven’t paid yet. * Light and dark popup themes, and customizable checkout and popup texts. * Compatible with HPOS, translation-ready, and included in WordPress’s personal data export and erase tools. #### Why choose this plugin? * **Built for safety:** submitted payments are clearly marked “Submitted, verify payment”, and you are warned if a setting would complete orders before anyone checks the payment. * **Private:** payment screenshots show customers’ bank details, so they are never public files. * **No lost orders:** a customer who paid but took a while to enter the Transaction ID can still finish, and is told what to do if their order was cancelled. #### How it works 1. At checkout, the customer chooses UPI and sees a QR code for the order amount. 2. They scan it with any UPI app and pay. 3. They enter the 12-digit Transaction ID (UTR) shown in their UPI app and, if you ask for it, upload a screenshot. 4. The order goes On Hold, and you get the payment notification in your UPI app. 5. You check the payment in your bank or UPI app and mark the order Processing or Completed. UPI payments made by scanning a QR code can’t be verified automatically, so always check each payment before completing the order. #### Benefits * No payment gateway fees or commission. * Money goes directly into your bank account. * Simple setup: you only need your merchant UPI ID. * Send customers a payment link by email. * Works 24×7. #### Support Community support in the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/) at WordPress.org.

Go to **Plugins > Add New** and search for “UPI QR Code Payment Gateway”. 2. Install and activate the plugin. WooCommerce must be active. 3. Go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > UPI QR Code**. 4. Enter your merchant UPI ID, enable the payment method and save. #### Manual installation 1. Upload the `upi-qr-code-payment-gateway` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin on the **Plugins** screen, then follow steps 3 and 4 above. ## FAQ ### Is there any admin interface for this plugin? Yes. You can access this from ‘WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > UPI QR Code’. ### How to use this plugin? Go to ‘WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > UPI QR Code’, enable/disable options as per your need and save your changes. ### Is this plugin compatible with any themes? Yes, this plugin is compatible with any theme. Also, compatible with Divi, Astra themes. ### Does it work with the WooCommerce Checkout block? Yes. UPI appears as a payment method in both the classic checkout and the Checkout block, and the QR code opens after the order is placed. ### I want auto verification after payment is done. Is is possible? Unfortunately no, automatic payment verification is not possible as NPCI does not allow to use their API and verify the transaction of any website. Keep “Payment Complete Status” on “On Hold” and confirm each payment in your bank or UPI app before completing the order. ### What Merchant Category Code should I use? Use the 4-digit code from your bank or payment provider if your UPI ID is a merchant account. If you don’t have one, use 0000. Since 1.5.0 an empty code is sent as 0000; earlier versions saved 8931 as the default, so check this setting after updating. ### Where are payment screenshots stored? Since version 1.5.0, screenshots are stored privately in `wp-content/uploads/dwu- payment-screenshots/` under random file names, not in the Media Library, because they show the customer’s bank details. Only users who can edit orders can open them, from the order notes or the “UPI Payment” column. On Nginx, also deny web access to that folder in your server configuration. Screenshots uploaded before 1.5.0 stay in the Media Library. ### Why are unpaid UPI orders not cancelled after the WooCommerce “Hold stock” time? Customers often pay in their UPI app and come back later to enter the Transaction ID, so UPI orders are kept for 24 hours by default before WooCommerce may cancel them (setting: “Unpaid Order Timeout”). Orders whose payment details were submitted are never cancelled automatically. ### The plugin isn’t working or have a bug? Post detailed information about the issue in the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/) and we will work to fix it. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7f8d508586a228c2374d32a4ed64e1abae87c6c1affae32f5c6ecade139b4dc8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Old version features](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-version-features/)󠁿 [arihanthl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arihanthl/) October 12, 2026 Old vversions features was good.

It helps to keep development and support going strong. Thank you! #### 1.5.1 Release Date: October 12, 2026 * Fixed: The “Proceed to Next” and “Confirm” buttons in the payment popup could be nearly invisible (light grey until hovered) with themes that style buttons. * Added: “Leave a review” link on the Plugins screen. * Tweak: Clearer description. #### 1.5.0 Release Date: October 11, 2026 * Fixed: On the block-based checkout, the plugin’s settings were not loaded, so the UPI handle list was missing and checkout failed with “UPI Handle is a required field” on default settings. The configured title, description and “Hide Field” option now work there too. * Security: Payment screenshots are now stored privately (not in the Media Library) under random file names and can only be opened by users who can edit orders. * Security: Clear warnings when “Payment Complete Status” is Processing or Completed, as submitted Transaction IDs are not verified automatically. * Added: “Unpaid Order Timeout” setting (24 hours by default). Unpaid UPI orders are kept longer before WooCommerce cancels them, and orders whose payment details were submitted are never cancelled automatically. * Added: The customer’s UPI ID and payment screenshot are included in WordPress personal data export and erasure. * Fixed: A customer submitting payment details for a cancelled order now sees what to do if money was debited. * Fixed: Stock is restored when an order submitted with “Payment Complete Status” set to Pending is cancelled. * Fixed: The UPI payment link now always uses a two-decimal amount, and special characters in order numbers no longer break it. * Fixed: When no Merchant Category Code is set, the UPI payment link now uses 0000 instead of 8931, which UPI apps can reject. New installs default to 0000. Existing settings are not changed: if yours shows 8931 and you have no merchant category code, change it to 0000. * Changed: The “Payment Buttons” option (Google Pay / PhonePe / Paytm buttons on mobile) is removed, as UPI apps no longer support these links from websites. Developers can turn the buttons back on with the `dwu_enable_payment_buttons` filter. * Added: Translation template (languages/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway.pot), and translations saved in the plugin’s languages folder (for example with Loco Translate) are now loaded. * Tweak: Payment confirmation also finds the order by its order key if the order ID does not match (the key and security check are still required). * Tweak: The review request appears after one week, and the Knit Pay – UPI automatic verification suggestion covers more merchant UPI IDs. * Fixed: The “UPI Payment” column was missing from the Orders screen because the gateway was not loaded there. * Tweak: The orders list marks submitted payments as “Submitted, verify payment” and links to the screenshot. * Tweak: The screenshot is removed when its order is permanently deleted. * Tweak: Checkout scripts for the classic form are no longer loaded on the block- based checkout. * Tweak: Removed the unused log folder and added uninstall cleanup of the gateway settings (order data is kept). * Tweak: Declared compatibility with the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks. * Tested with WordPress v7.1 and WooCommerce v11.2. #### 1.4.4 Release Date: September 27, 2026 * Security: Fixed an issue where the payment confirmation request could update an order without the order key. The request is now verified with an order-bound nonce, the order key, the payment method and the order status. * Security: Screenshot uploads are now limited to real JPEG/PNG images with a size limit. * Security: Improved sanitization and escaping of all input and output. * Fixed: “Complete the payment” text was added to emails after the payment was submitted. * Fixed: Server-side validation of Transaction ID and screenshot. * Fixed: Admin notices and text domain. * Fixed: Required UPI field indicator and default settings on block checkout. * Tested with WordPress v7.1. #### 1.4.3 Release Date: Jun 07, 2026 * Added compatibility with WordPress version 7.0.0. #### 1.4.2 Release Date: January 04, 2025 * Fixed: Setting Page. #### 1.4.1 Release Date: December 28, 2024 * Tested with WordPress v6.7.1 and WooCommerce v9.5.1 #### 1.4.0 Release Date: March 7, 2024 * Tweak: PHP 8.3 Support. * Added: Support for WooCommerce Block-based checkout. * Added: Security check on submission. * Added: Screenshot upload field. #### 1.3.0 Release Date: May 31, 2022 * Added: Merchant Category Code input option. * Tested with WordPress v6.0 and WooCommerce v6.8.2. #### 1.2.0 Release Date: March 18, 2021 * Added: Option to add Merchant Codes according to the latest UPI Specification. Please use a valid Merchant UPI VPA ID (not user UPI ID), otherwise all payments will be failed. * Added: A button to download the QR Codes on Mobile Devices easily. * Tweak: Hide Copy UPI ID button by default. It can enabled via this filter: `add_filter(' dwu_show_upi_id_copy_button', '__return_true' );`. #### 1.0.0 Release Date: March 14, 2020 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **1.5.1** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **1,000+** * WordPress version ** 4.6 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/) * Tags * [payment gateway](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/payment-gateway/)[UPI](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/upi/) [upi payment](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/upi-payment/)[woocommerce](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) * [Advanced View](https://li.wordpress.org/plugins/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 6 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ Dew Technolab ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dewtechnolab/) * [ Divyesh Ghediya ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dew491212/) ## Support Issues resolved in last two months: 0 out of 1 [View support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/upi-qr-code-payment-gateway/)
