The acquisition will have Razorpay-generated digital bills to have better merchant-customer engagement without friction with a high degree of customization including feedback and survey options in the bill. BillMe's abilities can make businesses go live with digital invoicing in less than 10 minutes. Additionally, merchants will be provided with self-serve dashboards to analyze customer behaviour and make custom campaign rules.
