Streamline WooCommerce Affiliate Payouts with UPI Payment Gateway Extension
Managing affiliate commissions in WooCommerce just got easier! If you’re using the YITH WooCommerce Affiliates plugin, you can now empower your affiliates to request withdrawals through UPI—India’s most popular instant payment system.
This custom UPI Payment Gateway Extension for YITH WooCommerce Affiliates adds an easy way for affiliates to receive payments via Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, Amazon Pay, BHIM, and other UPI apps through their UPI Id.
Why Add UPI as a Payment Method?
In countries like India, UPI (Unified Payments Interface) has become the go-to digital payment method. Unlike PayPal or bank transfers, UPI is instant, widely adopted, and easy to manage—even for small affiliate partners.
By enabling UPI payments for your affiliates, you’re:
- Offering faster payout options
- Reducing friction for local affiliates
- Supporting a trusted, zero-fee method of transfer
How It Works
The plugin introduces a new payment gateway (upi) inside the YITH WooCommerce Affiliates plugin. Affiliates can:
- Select their UPI provider (like Google Pay or Paytm)
- Enter their UPI ID in their profile settings
- Request withdrawal using this method
As a site admin, you can view the UPI ID during manual payment processing and mark the commission as paid.
Note: This plugin does not automate UPI transactions. You must process the payments manually via your UPI app, while the plugin helps track and confirm those transactions in WooCommerce.
💻 Code Implementation:
You can install the extension by adding the code snippet as a custom plugin or inside your theme. For detailed setup, check the GitHub repository (insert your link here).

If you’re looking to localize affiliate payouts and provide a smooth experience to your users in India, this UPI Payment Gateway Extension is a perfect add-on to the YITH WooCommerce Affiliates plugin.
Empower your affiliates, build trust, and simplify your payout process—all in a single step.
