Introduction

It’s been a decade since we set out to redefine the online payments experience. What started with Express Checkout (a wrapper on top of payment gateways) evolved into an ecosystem of Products which collectively aim to make Payments Experience Frictionless. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and user-centric design principles, we have successfully improved the direct OTP feature, making it more seamless, reliable, and efficient for users and businesses alike. Let us explore how.

Among our first innovations was Juspay Safe, which improved the security and convenience of online payments with features like Auto Processing OTP. It’s been a decade since then and our drive to make payments seamless has grown stratospherically.

What is DOTP?

DOTP (Direct OTP) or Native OTP helps buyers to stay on the merchant’s website/app and completes the Card authentication process of entering OTP on the merchant website itself instead of redirecting the user to a 3DS page to complete the transaction.

This means fewer hops in the checkout process, faster completion, lesser drop-offs, and better Success Rates for Transactions.

Increased Success Rate with DOTP 2.0

DOTP 2.0 offers an Auto OTP Submission experience like never before. It is a cutting-edge user experience designed to enhance the payment experience for users and boost the success rate by almost 8% for businesses.

It automates the process of reading and submitting OTPs (One-Time Passwords) during online card transactions, streamlining the payment process with a major overhaul to the entire User Experience.

Direct OTP Seamless Flow

“DOTP 2.0 streamlines the Auto OTP UX to make it even simpler and functional.” - Dharnesh Kumar, Juspay.

The Pop-up flow with DOTP 2.0 provides a more blended and seamless experience to the user. Every element on the pop up is customizable by the merchant to provide flexibility on what is being displayed.

How does DOTP 2.0 fare with DOTP?

DOTP 2.0 was built as an enhancement to the full page DOTP. Full page didn’t have a blended feel and an additional screen jump. Clearly, we had to eliminate the screen to screen jumps while still showing the important information (amount, OTP status, Bank link & action items).

DOTP 2.0 comes with a significant increase in auto submit rate in both Android and iOS. The ever more seamless flow powers a seamless experience for the buyers and helps the merchants drive more conversions.
