# Connecting Payment Gateway

**Note: WhatsApp in App support only in India**
{% endhint %}

WhatsApp supports **in-app payments** in India with deep integration into the WhatsApp app. This allows your users to make payments quickly within WhatsApp itself, without being redirected to a browser link. As a result, the payment success rate is higher compared to redirection.

In India, WhatsApp in-app payments are supported only with the following payment gateways:

* Razorpay (Recommended)
* PayU
* BillDesk
* ZaakPay

To start collecting payments seamlessly within WhatsApp, your business must have an active payment gateway account with full KYC completed from any of the providers listed above.

## Mandatory Business Verification

To collect payments within WhatsApp, your business must be verified. Ensure that you proceed with the steps below **only after your business has been verified by Meta**.

You can refer to the guide on how to verify your business with Meta.

#### Important Note : Neither Picky Assist nor WhatsApp settles or holds your payments. All payments collected are settled **directly into your bank account** by the respective payment gateway.
