The Paytm app was the first of its kind to digitize monetary transactions in India. With the increasing usage of smartphones, people became  open to the idea of online transactions beyond cash payments. What started off as a mere mobile recharge payment platform grew into a fully functional digital payment wallet. The initial offers and cashbacks were enough to lure a large customer base. Post demonetization however, the main attraction for digital payments such as Paytm to become popular is its ease of use and the reduced number of steps for transactions.  Both businesses and customers can leverage this convenience for their daily use today. 

Businesses have a separate Paytm for business app that they can sign up for. It is through these apps that payments can be managed digitally. Transaction history is accessible on the app itself. This eliminates the need to constantly keep a track of your SMS or e-mails. Transaction histories can be downloaded for specific dates or time periods just like you would on a regular internet banking platform, giving you details on bank settlement time and other critical information.
