EMI as a payment option gives your customers the freedom and affordability to purchase expensive items without having to deal with banks or NBFCs as intermediaries.
You can collect payments from customers in EMI using the Merchant Hosted integration. You need to ensure that EMI for the pg parameter and EMI code based on the card issuer and tenure for the bankcode parameter is posted.
