You can take UPI payments at your restaurant tables without any POS machine by displaying a UPI QR from your bank or PSP. Customers pay with PhonePe, GPay or Paytm straight from their phone, and the money lands in your account. vsite is a separate piece: the Smart QR Menu your customers read before they order. vsite does not take orders or payments today — that is coming soon.

Why Skip the POS Machine?

How to Take UPI Today With Your Own Bank QR

  1. Get a merchant UPI QR from your bank or a PSP app (the QR is tied to your bank account)
  2. Print it and keep it at the counter, or on each table
  3. Customer finishes the meal and scans your UPI QR with any UPI app
  4. Check the payment notification on your phone or soundbox before you clear the table
  5. The money goes straight to your account — no commission from vsite

Where vsite Fits

vsite is the menu side of the experience: customers scan a vsite QR code, read your menu with photos and prices in Tamil or English, and then order with your staff as they do now. Menu, sold-out toggles and price changes all update live. There is no app for the customer to download.

What Is Coming Soon

Ordering with UPI payment inside the vsite menu is coming soon. It is not live yet, and we will say so on this page when it is. It will arrive inside the same ₹299/month plan, and vsite still will not sit between you and your customer's money.

vsite Smart QR Menu: AI-built digital menu, live updates, Tamil + English. No commission. ₹299/month with a 7-day free trial. Ordering with UPI is coming soon.
