After numerous delays and difficulties, WhatsApp – used by about 500 million Indians each month – received approval to expand its UPI-powered payments service to 100 million users in the country early this year. Now, customers in India can explore the entire JioMart grocery inventory on WhatsApp, add products to the cart, and then complete the transaction using the UPI payment system without leaving the online messaging platform.
Commenting on the partnership with Jio, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said: “Excited to launch our partnership with JioMart in India. This is our first-ever end-to-end shopping experience on WhatsApp — people can now buy groceries from JioMart right in a chat. Business messaging is an area with real momentum and chat-based experiences like this will be the go-to way people and businesses communicate in the years to come.”
