Step 2: Find the Payment Options
Now that you're in your account, let's find where your saved payment methods are.

- "Payment Options"
- "Saved Cards & Wallets"
- "Manage Payment Methods"
- Scroll through the options until you see something similar and tap on it.
Step 3: Adding Your New Credit Card Details
This is where you'll enter the information for your new credit card. Double-check everything to avoid any errors!
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
-
Select "Add New Card": On the "Payment Options" screen, you should see an option to add a new payment method. This is often represented by a button that says:
- "+ Add New Card"
- "Add Payment Method"
- "Link New Card"
- Tap on this option.
-
Enter Your Card Details: You'll now be presented with a form to fill in your credit card information. This will typically include the following fields:
- Card Number: Carefully enter the 16-digit (usually) number printed on the front of your credit card.
- Expiry Date: Enter the month and year your card expires. This is usually in MM/YY format.
- CVV/CVC/CID: This is the 3-digit (sometimes 4-digit on American Express cards) security code located on the back of your card.
-
Save Your Card (Optional but Recommended): After entering all the details, you'll usually see a checkbox or a button that says something like:
- "Save this card for future purchases"
- "Remember this card"
- It's generally recommended to check this box to save your card for faster checkout in the future.
-
Tap "Save" or "Add Card": Once you've filled in all the details and chosen whether to save the card, tap on the button at the bottom of the screen to save your new credit card information. This might say:
- "Save"
- "Add Card"
- "Submit"
Step 4: Verification (If Required)
For added security, Flipkart might ask you to verify your new credit card.
-
OTP Verification: In some cases, your bank might send an One-Time Password (OTP) to your registered mobile number or email address. If prompted, enter the OTP in the designated field on the Flipkart app.
-
Other Verification Methods: Depending on your bank and Flipkart's security protocols, there might be other verification methods, such as a temporary small deduction from your card that you need to confirm. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully.
Step 5: Confirmation
You're almost there! Once the verification is successful (if required), you should see a confirmation message.

-
Success Message: You should see a message confirming that your new credit card has been successfully added to your Flipkart account. It might say something like:
- "Credit card added successfully!"
