Why Every Merchant in India Needs a MyBox

Hardware soundboxes cost thousands. Your phone can do the same job — for a fraction of the price.

The Problem Every Shopkeeper Knows

You’re busy attending to a customer. Another customer scans your QR code and says “payment ho gaya” (payment is done). But did it really go through? You stop what you’re doing, pick up your phone, unlock it, check the UPI app… and the line keeps growing.

This is the daily reality for millions of merchants across India.

Hardware Soundboxes: Expensive and Fragile

Traditional payment soundboxes from banks and fintech companies cost anywhere from ₹2,000 to ₹5,000. They need:

  • A separate data connection (SIM card or WiFi)
  • Regular charging
  • Physical space on your counter
  • Replacement when they break

For a small shopkeeper making ₹500-1,000 per day in UPI transactions, that’s a significant investment.

Your Phone Already Has Everything

Think about it — your phone already has:

  • A speaker to announce payments
  • Internet connectivity to receive notifications
  • A screen to show payment details
  • UPI apps that send instant notifications

All that’s missing is a smart app that connects these dots. That’s exactly what MyBox does.

How MyBox Works

  1. Install the app from the Play Store (just 5 MB)
  2. Allow notification access for your UPI apps
  3. Enable SMS permission for bank confirmation messages

That’s it. From this point on, every UPI payment is announced aloud — the amount, the source app, and a confirmation tone. In your language.

10+ Indian Languages

MyBox announces payments in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam, and Punjabi. And it works offline — once you download a language pack, no internet is needed for voice announcements.
