WhatsApp’s payments test run in India has gone down so well that Facebook can’t wait to launch the service nationwide.

In February this year, the instant messaging app launched a beta version of its payments feature for nearly a million Indians. The feature faced strong opposition from local competitors such as Paytm, which said WhatsApp had created a closed garden on the Indian government-backed unified payment interface (UPI) by restricting transactions to its own users.
