The product allows customers to use them in varying denominations and on multiple visits at any of PayMate's merchant partners, both online and offline.
Sify iWay customers can now shop for anything from electronics, apparels and even book flight and movie tickets with their PayMate vouchers. Moreover, they can also send a GiftMate voucher via SMS to their family and friends.
According to Ajay Adiseshann, founder and managing director, PayMate India, "The PayMate and Sify partnership enables online users and those reluctant to use cards online, to transact online. This would definitely give a fillip to e-commerce in the country, since only 10 per cent of online users actually transact online.
Sify's iWays are spread across 180 cities in the country, enhancing the value proposition to millions of potential e-commerce users."
