Step 2: Access the 'Saved Cards' or 'Payment Settings' Section
Within your profile, you'll need to find the section related to payment options. This might be labeled as ***'Saved Cards'***, ***'Payment Methods'***, or something similar. Scroll through the options until you locate it and then tap to proceed.
Sub-section 2.1: Exploring Payment Options
You might see various payment methods listed here, such as UPI, Paytm Wallet, and saved cards (if you've added any previously). Our goal is to add a new credit card, so look for an option that indicates adding a new card.
Step 3: Initiate the Process of Adding a New Credit Card
Now, you should see a button or link that says something like ***'+ Add New Card'***, ***'Add Credit/Debit Card'***, or simply a '+' icon. Tap on this to begin the process of entering your credit card details.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Step 4: Enter Your Credit Card Details Carefully
This is a crucial step, so pay close attention to the information you're entering. You'll typically be asked for the following details:
Sub-section 4.1: Card Number
Carefully enter your 16-digit credit card number without any spaces or hyphens. Double-check each digit to ensure accuracy.
Sub-section 4.2: Expiry Date
Next, you'll need to enter the expiry date of your credit card. This is usually in MM/YY (Month/Year) format and is printed on the front of your card. Select the correct month and year from the provided options or enter them manually if required.
Sub-section 4.3: CVV/CVC Number
The CVV (Card Verification Value) or CVC (Card Verification Code) is a 3-digit or 4-digit security code usually located on the back of your credit card. Enter this number accurately.
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.
Sub-section 4.4: Cardholder Name (Optional but Recommended)
You might also be asked to enter the name as it appears on your credit card. While sometimes optional, it's a good practice to fill this in for added security and identification.
Step 5: Securely Save Your Card Details
Once you've entered all the necessary information, you'll likely see a button that says ***'Save Card'***, ***'Add Card'***, or something similar. Tap on this button to save your credit card details to your Paytm account.
Sub-section 5.1: Potential OTP Verification
For enhanced security, Paytm might ask you to enter a One-Time Password (OTP) that will be sent to your registered mobile number or email address associated with your bank. Enter the OTP if prompted to complete the card saving process.
Step 6: Confirmation of Successful Card Addition
After successful verification (if required), you should receive a confirmation message or see your newly added credit card listed in the 'Saved Cards' or 'Payment Methods' section. You might see a masked version of your card number for security reasons.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
