UPI Payment Collection for Events: Zero Commission, Full Control

By David Kim | February 17, 2026 | 5 min read

Collect registration fees directly via UPI — PhonePe, GPay, Paytm — with zero commission. No payment gateway setup required.

The Payment Problem for Indian Events

Most event platforms charge a 2-5% commission on every ticket sale. For a ₹500 registration fee with 1,000 attendees, that's ₹25,000 going to the platform — not to you. For small and mid-sized event organizers in India, this eats directly into margins.

Fast ID's Direct UPI Payment System

Fast ID takes a radically different approach. Instead of routing payments through a third-party gateway, we let attendees pay you directly via UPI. The money goes straight to your bank account. Zero commission. Zero intermediary.

How It Works

1. Enable Payments: Go to Settings → Payments → Toggle "Enable Payment" ON.
2. Enter Your UPI ID: Add your business UPI ID (e.g., yourname@upi) and set the registration fee amount.
3. Attendee Journey: When someone fills your registration form, they see your payment QR code with direct-open buttons for PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm.
4. UTR Verification: After paying, the attendee pastes their UTR (transaction reference number) into the form.
5. Admin Approval: You cross-verify the UTR in your bank app and approve — the attendee's QR code and ID card are activated instantly.

For Premium Events: Cashfree Integration

Need automatic payment verification without manual UTR checks? Fast ID also integrates with Cashfree Payment Gateway for seamless, automated payment confirmation. Attendees are redirected to a secure payment page, and upon successful payment, their registration is confirmed automatically via webhook — no admin intervention needed.

Payment Dashboard

Track all payments from your admin panel:

• Filter attendees by payment status: Paid, Pending, Failed
• View UTR numbers alongside attendee details
