Digital payments platform PhonePe on Monday said it has partnered with Flipkart to enable pay-on-delivery service for the e-commerce major's orders. "Digital payments adoption has become widespread over the past few years, thanks to UPI. However, there still continues to be a preference for cash on delivery among some customers at the time of delivery," PhonePe Director (Business) Ankit Gaur said. "Our partnership with Flipkart to enable contactless and safe payments for its 'pay on delivery' customers is a big step in that direction. "As the lines between e-commerce marketplace and digital payments continue to converge, it becomes imperative to solve for customers' evolving needs and attitudes.
