PayU

PayU is a payment service provider (PSP) focused on emerging markets, processing online payments across India, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, and Turkey. It is built around local payment methods and card acquiring in regions where alternative payment methods often outweigh cards, making it useful for merchants selling into markets where global gateways have limited reach. Because PayU has grown through acquisition, it offers several distinct integration types — Shuttle supports two of them and connects to PayU using API credentials.

At a glance

Where it operates

Merchants can onboard PayU in the following countries:

Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czechia, Hungary, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Turkey.

Payment methods

Through our PayU integration, merchants can accept:

• Cards: Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Diners Club, and RuPay (in India)

The exact card networks available depend on the integration type and country. The REST API integration and the Single Platform Payment Engine product process Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro; South Africa and Turkey add American Express (and Diners Club for South Africa); and India additionally supports RuPay and a hosted payment page. PayU offers a wide range of local and alternative payment methods in its own products, but our integration is a card-acquiring integration and does not surface those methods. Apple Pay and Google Pay are not supported, as our PayU integration does not use network tokens.
