PayTM fixes OFFLINE PAYMENT in the most innovative way.

PayTM is one of the most wide spread online payment method used by many Indians, for their most basic needs as well. But during the payment if there is a network issue the money gets stuck in a LIMBO, well PayTM seems to have a solution for it in testing, called PayTM Sound Box.

What is PayTM Sound Box? How Does it work?

Paytm SoundBox is a speaker that will act as a voice-activated POS (point-of-sale) machine for the retailer. Once a user makes the payment by scanning the QR code, the SoundBox will notify the retailer that the payment is completed successfully and this will eliminate the need for a smartphone to receive payments and also eliminates the need for waiting for the SMS.

In short, the SoundBox speaks out the amount loudly on a successful transaction like “Received Rs.50 successfully” and this is one of a use case scenario.

Paytm SoundBox is powered by MediaTek MT6261 SoC, which is targeted to be used in IoT devices, and other accessories like entry-level Smartwatch. The SoundBox looks like a typical speaker with the PayTM branding on the front along with speaker grills. The rear of the device has the name and model number along with the usual details. It can take a maximum input of 5V at 1.5A.

The SoundBox also comes with a dedicated SIM slot and will work on 4G connectivity, and will always be connected to the internet in order to manage the payments on behalf of the retailer.

There aren’t many details on what else the Paytm SoundBox could do apart from alerting the retailers on payments and it is to be seen what other features will Paytm add to this device.
