Samsung and Paytm have announced a partnership aimed at providing a more streamlined and convenient experience for their customers in India. This collaboration introduces several new features to the Samsung Wallet app, enhancing its functionality and making it easier for users to book tickets and manage their purchases.
New Ticket Booking Features
The Samsung Wallet app now includes options for booking flights and buying bus tickets, as well as purchasing movie and event tickets. This integration eliminates the need for users to switch between different apps, offering a seamless experience directly from the Samsung Wallet. This functionality not only saves time but also simplifies the process for users who frequently purchase tickets.
Integration with Paytm and Paytm Insider
In addition to the new booking features within the Samsung Wallet app, the Paytm and Paytm Insider apps are also being updated to include “Add to Samsung Wallet” buttons. This feature allows users to store their purchased tickets directly in the Samsung Wallet, making them easily accessible from the phone’s homescreen. This integration ensures that all necessary tickets are conveniently on hand whenever needed.
Promotional Discounts and Referral Program
To celebrate the launch of these new features, Samsung India and Paytm are offering special promotions. Customers making their first bookings through the Samsung Wallet app can enjoy discounts of up to ₹1,150. Furthermore, there is a referral program in place, where users can earn ₹100 for each successful referral, up to a maximum of ₹300. These incentives are designed to encourage users to try out the new service and share it with their friends and family.
Availability and Updates
The new features in the Samsung Wallet app should be available now. Users who do not see these options are advised to ensure that their Samsung Wallet app is updated to the latest version. Regular updates are essential to access the latest features and enhancements provided by the collaboration between Samsung and Paytm.

“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.
