Why Cashfree for events in India
Cashfree is a modern Indian payments platform built around clean APIs and a wide method mix. For organizers in India it matches the way buyers actually pay today, from a quick UPI confirmation to cards, net banking and pay-later options, all on a hosted checkout that works well on mobile.
A broad mix of payment methods
- UPI through any UPI app, including QR and intent flows
- RuPay, Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards
- Net banking from a wide range of Indian banks
- Wallets, plus EMI and pay-later options where enabled
Pay later and EMI for higher-priced tickets
Cashfree supports EMI and pay-later options, so buyers can spread the cost of premium passes, multi-day tickets or bundles while you receive the full amount. This can lift conversion on higher ticket prices.
Reliable confirmation by webhook
Cashfree confirms every payment with a server-to-server webhook, not only a browser redirect. Evenda verifies the signature with HMAC-SHA256 before marking an order paid, so the status stays correct even if the buyer loses connection right after paying.
Settlement in rupees
Payments are processed in INR and settle to your own Cashfree account. The integration onboards merchants registered in India, so it is built for collecting in rupees from a domestic audience.
