Snapdeal-owned FreeCharge on Tuesday said it has ramped up its efforts to on-board 1 million merchants in the next 12 months.
As part of the efforts, it has rolled out an ‘on-the-go pin’ feature that allows users to complete a transaction even when there is no internet or phone coverage.
This feature has been developed specially for India, and FreeCharge has applied for a patent for the same, the firm said.
In the light of scrapping of old ₹500 and 1,000 notes, the company has seen a sustained 10x surge in the number of retail merchant sign-ups, especially after it announced a zero-commission offer for new merchants.
