Paytm, India’s leading payments and financial services company, has introduced the ‘Paytm Solar Soundbox,’ a groundbreaking innovation designed to support small merchants with seamless digital transactions. This first-of-its-kind device harnesses solar energy to ensure uninterrupted service, making it an eco-friendly and practical solution for shop owners, especially in rural and remote areas facing power shortages.
The Made in India Solar Soundbox features a built-in solar panel that allows automatic charging in sunlight, along with two batteries—one solar-powered and another electricity-powered. A short charge of 2-3 hours in the sun can power the device for an entire day, while the electricity-powered battery lasts up to 10 days without recharging. This dual-power system ensures reliable payment confirmations with minimal environmental impact.
Equipped with a powerful 3-watt speaker, the device delivers clear audio payment confirmations, even in noisy environments. It supports 11 regional languages, catering to merchants across India. The Solar Soundbox also features the Paytm QR code, enabling seamless UPI and RuPay Credit Card transactions for customers.
Paytm has been at the forefront of digital payment innovation, recently launching the Paytm NFC Card Soundbox, a device that integrates NFC technology with mobile QR payments. The company continues to drive financial inclusion by empowering merchants with advanced yet affordable solutions.
Beyond its devices, Paytm offers a comprehensive digital payment ecosystem, allowing users to link bank accounts, create UPI IDs, and make instant transactions via QR codes. With features like UPI Lite for small payments and RuPay Credit Card linking on UPI, Paytm ensures convenience and accessibility for millions of users
