Samsung and Paytm are joining forces to offer a more streamlined experience to their customers in India. The Samsung Wallet app now offers the ability to book a flight or buy a bus ticket. You can buy movie and event tickets too.
Additionally, the Paytm and Paytm Insider apps are also gaining “Add to Samsung Wallet” buttons for users of Samsung phones. This will keep the purchased tickets on hand as they can be accessed straight from the phone’s homescreen.
Samsung India and Paytm will soon offer promotions with discounts reaching ₹1,150 for the first bookings through the newly launched service. Additionally, there will be a referral program – ₹100 for each successful referral, up to ₹300.
The new features should be live now. If you don’t see them, check that the Samsung Wallet app has been updated to the latest version.
“We are delighted to launch new features on Samsung Wallet in collaboration with Paytm. These features allow Galaxy smartphone users to easily purchase bus and airline tickets, as well as movie and event tickets, without needing to switch between multiple apps. Furthermore, users can access these tickets simply by swiping up on their Galaxy smartphone’s home screen,” said Madhur Chaturvedi, Senior Director, MX Business, Samsung India.
