Sellers themselves provide the delivery and installation service while Paytm enables them by training on how to manage online customer expectations and experience.

Paytm enables consumers to check whether products are available to from nearby sellers who can ship and service the orders. The consumers have to pay a nominal amount to avail the same day shipping and installation services.

Apaert from this, the company has tied up with Suzuki Motorcycle and will now host a virtual Suzuki Motorcycle showroom on its marketplace through which customers can book the two-wheeler maker’s bike and scooter models.

Once users have booked the bike of their choice, Paytm will then direct the users to the closest dealership for registration and collection. Paytm will also enable vehicle financing to provide higher degree of assistance to consumers while buying a Suzuki product.
