Paywize

India's smartest collection & payout platform

We helped Paywize replace manual payment tasks with one platform, including UPI collections, multi-wallet payouts, and dashboards for real transaction volume.

Scope of work

UPI payment collections

Accepts payments via UPI Collect, Intent, and dynamic QR codes for fast, frictionless customer transactions.

Multi-mode payouts (IMPS/NEFT/RTGS)

Routes disbursements through IMPS, NEFT, or RTGS with smart routing to minimize failures and speed up settlement.

Multi-wallet ledger system

Keeps separate settlement and payout balances per merchant, with every movement recorded as a traceable ledger entry.

Role-based access control

Admin, finance, support, and merchant roles with granular permissions and audit logging across the platform.

Virtual account management

Issues and manages virtual accounts so incoming funds are attributed to the right merchant automatically.

Bank & PSP integration

A reusable integration layer for banks and payment service providers, so new rails are configuration rather than rework.

QA & ongoing support

Regression suites, monitoring, and a support rota that keeps payouts moving after launch.

Challenges

The challenge

Manual operations that couldn't keep pace with growth Intro: Before Zethic, Paywise ran collections, payouts, and merchant onboarding by hand across disconnected tools. As volume grew, payouts slowed down, support tickets piled up, and reconciliation ate into the team's week.

  • { 01 }

    No unified view of money movement Merchants and admins had no single dashboard for wallet balances, transaction history, or settlement status

  • { 02 }

    Manual, error-prone payouts Disbursements were triggered and tracked by hand. No structured queue, no audit trail, no check against insufficient balances.

  • { 03 }

    Flat access control Every admin and merchant sat at the same permission level. A compliance risk as the team grew.

  • { 04 }

    Fragile bank and PSP connections Integrations were built ad hoc. Adding a new bank or payment mode meant rework, not configuration.

The approach

Building the core for every payment flow

We mapped the full journey across collections, settlements, payouts, and reconciliation, then designed the ledger, wallet, permissions, and integration layers around it. This gave Paywize a stronger foundation for adding new banks, PSPs, payment modes, and merchants without reworking the core.

  1. Payment flow audited end to end
    { 01 }

    Map Transaction Flows

    Mapped collections, settlements, payouts, refunds, and merchant flows to identify system gaps and dependencies.

  2. Ledger settlement vs payout
    { 02 }

    Design the Ledger Model

    Structured separate settlement and payout balances with clear transaction states and fund traceability.

  3. Access control roles & permissions
    { 03 }

    Implement Role-Based Access

    Defined role-based permissions for admin, finance, support, and merchant users with audit logging.

  4. Integrations shipped in phases
    { 04 }

    Standardize Bank Integrations

    Built a reusable integration layer for banks and PSPs, making new payment connections easier to onboard.

The roadmap

Building the payment infrastructure in layers

Paywize evolved through multiple product phases, starting with core transaction processing and expanding into collections, virtual accounts, multi-wallet management, bulk payments, and multi-bank connectivity. Each phase strengthened the platform's transaction control, scalability, security, and operational visibility.
