How to get WhatsApp UPI payment feature right now
Firstly, you need to update your WhatsApp. Now find someone in your contacts who have this feature activated already.
WhatsApp rolled it out for select beta testers. Once you have come across someone with the feature activated for him/her already, the person can activate the same for you as well.

Step 1: WhatsApp user with UPI payment feature activated for them needs to open a chat window of someone who has not received the feature already. In my case, I had the feature already and opened a chat window of my friend who was still waiting for this feature to roll out for her.
Step 2: All I had to do was go to the chat and tap a paperclip icon at the bottom right corner. Yes, that’s exactly how you attach audio, documents, pictures, contacts and location coordinates.
Step 3: If you try to initiate a UPI payment with someone without this feature, you will get a popup reading something along the lines of ‘To receive a payment, (your contact name) needs to set up payments in WhatsApp by tapping Settings > Payments.’

Step 4: That’s it! Now your contact must have received the feature in his/her WhatsApp. I have tried this with a couple of friends in my contact and it worked for both of them. Ask your friend to close WhatsApp and check for the feature by repeating step 2.
