PhonePe said that this service is currently live at over 1.3 crore offline shops across the country with Maharashtra accounting for the largest share of offline stores.

In addition to that, PhonePe announced that it has also introduced a Digital Khata solution helping offline stores maintain easy records of customer transactions. In case the working capital gets stuck and the payments happen only when the customer comes to the shop next, the store can easily send a reminder for faster collection.
