The service is currently being rolled out in India and a few other countries but will later be expanded to other markets as well. The UPI Autopay feature will be enabled by default as soon as you pay for a subscription using a UPI app. Consumers will have to opt out of the autopay option.
Using the UPI Autopay feature on Google Play is pretty easy. All you need to do is set up a UPI Payment while subscribing to a service. Once you have authenticated your UPI ID, it will be saved to your Google Play account. You will also receive a text message or a notification to validate the autopay option. Once you make the payment, the balance will be deducted for the first month of the service. The payment for the next month will take place automatically.
