Offers work with the hosted checkout app Cards, UPI, NB by PayU India. The onsite card app Onsite Card Payments by PayU does not support offers due to platform limitations.

Create offers on PayU Dashboard, then contact the PayU Integration team to schedule embedding of the offers widget JavaScript on your checkout. The widget displays available offers; customers apply them on PayU Hosted Checkout. Refer to Enable Offers on your Shopify Page.

PayU recommends stopping automatic customer emailers after order placement because PayU can send them from the backend when offers are applied.

The Affordability Widget shows customers eligible payment offers (for example EMI or discounts) on product or cart pages before checkout. It is added through Shopify theme Liquid templates, snippets, and sections.

Duplicate your theme if you use a theme created in 2020 or later with product.json. Older themes without product.json can skip duplication and proceed to add the PayU snippet. Refer to Affordability Widget Integration for Shopify.

Non-SKU-based setup uses merchant key and cart or product amount. SKU-based setup additionally passes skusDetail with SKU IDs, amounts, and quantities so offers tied to specific products display correctly. Create the corresponding offer type on PayU Dashboard before configuring the widget.

You can show the widget on product pages and the cart page by updating product.json, cart.json, and the corresponding Liquid section files. Refer to Affordability Widget Integration for Shopify.

CommercePro Checkout is a Shopify app that connects your PayU account to your store for OTP-based customer login, checkout customisation, and related CommercePro features. Install it from https://apps.shopify.com/payu-commercepro-checkout. Refer to Install CommercePro Checkout App.

Deactivate the plugin if active, enable the Test mode toggle, select Manage from More Actions, and enter test merchant key and salt. Refer to Enable Onsite Payments on Shopify.

You must install the hosted checkout app Cards, UPI, NB by PayU India. Your PayU MID must be active.

Export products from Products in Shopify admin, download the export file, and use the SKU column values as Product ID when uploading offer details on PayU Dashboard. The Product ID in PayU must match the Shopify SKU.

Create webhooks for Checkout creation and Checkout update events with JSON format, pointing to https://partnerapilayer.payu.in/apilayer/shopify_app/shopifyWebhook. Share your MID and the webhook signature hash from Shopify with PayU to enable SKU-based offers.
