“#WhatsApp<\/a> payments might soon earn you cash back<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

WhatsApp Pay is one of the few revenue streams for the popular chat app, as it doesn\u2019t serve any ads<\/span>. And to make more people use this payment service, the company might be offer cashback rewards.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a report by WABetaInfo<\/a>, WhatsApp is working on a cashback feature in a beta version of its Android app. Last November, the company launched WhatsApp Pay in India, after running it in the test mode for two years, due to regulatory hurdles.<\/p>\n

In the country, WhatsApp\u2019s solution is based on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) standard, which also is used by other payment apps such as Walmart\u2019s PhonePe, Google\u2019s Google Pay, and Indian fintech giant Paytm.<\/p>\n

Other apps have introduced cashback offers to lure people to use their services over others. This is the first time we\u2019ve heard of Facebook trying to follow the model. Currently, WhatsApp Pay doesn\u2019t hold a large share of India\u2019s UPI payments market<\/span>. The cashback offer might be the company\u2019s way to make it more popular.<\/p>\n

WABetaInfo\u2019s report notes that the current code hints towards a one-time cashback of just \u20b910 ($0.14)\u2014 which is very low compared to what other apps like Google Pay offered at launch<\/a> \u2014 but it could change during the rollout. Plus, you\u2019ll get the cashback 48 hours after you\u2019ve made the payment.<\/p>\n

The reward could also be only for the people transacting through WhatsApp Pay for the first time, so if you\u2019ve already used it, you might be out of luck.<\/p>\n

All of this is speculative at the moment as the feature is under works, but users will be eagerly waiting for its release, because we Indians do love our cashback rewards.<\/p>\n
