Noida: In an unprecedented move, Paytm has launched Paytm Solar Soundbox, a first-of-its-kind innovation designed to empower small merchants across India. The device, which requires minimal sunlight for charging, ensures uninterrupted payment notifications, making it an ideal solution for businesses in remote and rural areas with limited electricity access.
A Sustainable Solution for Small Merchants
The Made in India Paytm Solar Soundbox is an environmental- friendly device that leverages a low-cost alternative energy source. With an integrated solar panel, it auto-charges under sunlight, making it particularly useful for merchants in electricity-deprived areas. The device is targeted at hawkers, cart vendors, artisans, craft sellers, flower sellers, and various other street vendors who depend on seamless mobile payment solutions.
Dual Charging for Reliability
A key feature of the Paytm Solar Soundbox is its dual-battery system. It includes:
A solar-powered battery that can provide a full day of power after just 2-3 hours of sunlight exposure.
An electricity-powered battery that can last up to 10 days without recharging.
This ensures consistent and reliable functionality, reducing the need for frequent charging and promoting green energy adoption.
Enhanced Payment Experience with QR Code and Audio Alerts
The device integrates the Paytm QR code, allowing customers to make UPI and Rupay Credit Card payments seamlessly. One of its standout features is its powerful 3-watt speaker, which delivers clear audio notifications to confirm successful transactions. This ensures that merchants can hear payment confirmations even in crowded or noisy environments.
Additionally, the Paytm Solar Soundbox supports audio notifications in 11 languages, catering to India’s linguistically diverse merchant base.
A Step Towards Financial Inclusion and Digital Transformation
With the launch of the Solar Soundbox, Paytm aims to promote financial inclusion by ensuring that merchants across urban and rural landscapes can access reliable and seamless digital payment solutions. The device is expected to play a crucial role in advancing India’s digital economy, reducing reliance on cash transactions, and promoting sustainable business practices.
