This is the first time that the UPI AutoPay feature is made available on the Netflix app and website. Both new and existing members will be able to opt for this feature by heading to the 'Bill' section > 'Billing Details'. Prior to the launch of the UPI AutoPay feature, Netflix only supported credit and debit cards from Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club and American Express. Netflix users can also subscribe via a partner including Vi, Airtel, Reliance Jio.

As the UPI AutoPay feature supports recurring transactions, subscribers need not worry about paying manually every month.

The company's goal is to give more freedom and control to a user so that they can watch their favourite stories whenever they want, without ads.
