What is WordPress?
WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS) that enables you to publish, edit, modify, organize, delete, and maintain content all at one central repository. It could either be a host of text, photographs, videos or audio files.
WordPress with Paytm
Integrating your WordPress site with Paytm allows you to accept payments using Paytm Payment Gateway. It enables you to accept payments via Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking (supports 3D Secure), UPI or Paytm Wallet.
Before you begin to integrate the Paytm Payment Gateway on WordPress, make sure you have a registered business account with Paytm. To create the same, refer to the section Generate your API Keys.
