How to Setup and Use Paytm – A Detailed Paytm Tutorial

Vivek | 16 Nov 2018 | Android Apps/ Guides

Setup and Use Paytm Detailed Paytm Tutorial

PayTM tutorial: Learn how you can setup and use Paytm app. Paytm is a digital platform that lets you send money, receive money and add money to your wallet. You can easily connect your cards and bank accounts to Paytm to hassle-free and quick transaction on the go.

“Paytm!”, You’ve all heard the name by now if you didn’t already before November 8th. The e-wallet app cum online store has seen a recent surge in its user base thanks to the Indian Prime Minister’s demonetization drive. At its core, Paytm is still the same app but it has recently been stuffed with some PayPal like features expanding the e-wallet from an online wallet to your traditional bank account. The sheer number of functions on the app, however, can seem daunting to a newcomer. If that’s you, here we will show you how to setup and use Paytm.

  4. This password will be required to access your account on the web or any other device. You can choose to enter your email as well however that is optional.
  5. You will receive an OTP during the registration process which will be automatically read.

  3. You can choose to pay via Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking or UPI.
  4. Once added to your Paytm account, you can now use this money to shop via Paytm, pay bills, buy tickets or pay for things that you buy at offline stores, assuming the store supports PayTM transactions.

  1. Accepting Payments is as easy as sharing your QR code or phone number.
  2. You have the option of receiving the payment in your Paytm wallet or directly to your bank account. If you wish to receive payments directly into your bank account, select the option.
  3. You will be required to enter the name of the account holder, account number and the IFSC code of your bank branch.
  4. You will receive an SMS shortly stating your bank account has been connected. This can take a while so don’t hold your breath on it.

Explore the app and see what all you can do. There is a lot that you can do on the app including online shopping. The Paytm service is good, but we’d recommend that you shop using services that were meant for it like Amazon, Flipkart or Snapdeal. That is just an advice from our experience.

    I’m a foreign student living in India, how can I activate paytm as I don’t own an Aadhar card

      Hi NerdyFullo,

      It is not mandatory to do KYC by linking Aadhaar Number with Paytm Account, but if you want to bypass the non-KYC Account limit that is to store up to Rs. 1 Lakh and avail other benefits than you will have to get your Aadhaar linked with it
