London, UK, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Payfuture, a global payments company helping merchants scale in high-growth regions, now integrates with Shopify to provide merchants with seamless access to local payment methods in India’s fast-growing ecommerce market.
Merchants using Shopify can now enable popular Indian payment methods, including Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and NetBanking, through a single connection with Payfuture’s payment app.
India is one of the most strategically important ecommerce markets in the world, with its online retail sector projected to reach USD 150–170 billion by 2027. Widespread mobile-first behaviour and consumer trust in domestic payment systems continue to drive growth across the Indian subcontinent and broader South Asia. As the region matures, platform readiness, payment localisation, and regulatory infrastructure are becoming key competitive differentiators for merchants seeking long-term scale.

“This integration makes digital commerce more accessible, scalable, and locally optimised for global merchants in fast-growth markets,” said Manpreet Haer, CEO and Co-Founder of Payfuture. “India is a vital market for ecommerce growth, and our infrastructure makes it easier for merchants to reach local buyers while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency.”
This integration builds on Payfuture’s broader strategy to deliver local payment connectivity through major ecommerce platforms. The company continues to invest in infrastructure and regional capabilities to help merchants expand into India and other high-growth markets.
“Our role is to help global merchants operate like locals in markets that are often difficult to access,” added Manpreet Haer. “The Shopify integration allows us to bring that vision to life in one of the most important commerce ecosystems in the world.”
