How does Paytm work?

Well, the E-Wallets work on a simple principle. They act as the intermediaries between you and your bank. The same kind of functionality holds good for PayTM as well. PayTM acts as an intermediary between your bank and cellular or DTH operator. The PayTM portal is integrated with a payment gateway. This payment gateway is associated with different banks like HDFC bank, SBI etc.
PayTM is a digital payment platform that lets you transfer cash into the integrated wallet using online banking, credit or debit cards, or even cash deposits. This amount can be used for payment for products or services without any need to carry cash. The service supports offline payments at more than 8 lakh merchants all over the country.
Now coming back to the basic question you have raised, you - as a merchant will need to set up your bank account on your PayTM account. Whenever, you want to transfer money from your PayTM wallet to your bank, you just need to exercise the option for transferring the same on the Mobile app of PayTM.

You can use your E-wallet to pay someone on their own bank account. Bank to e-wallet and vice versa are not allowed in the transaction. The same rule applies to BHIM app or the Phone Pay app as well.

Business are making use of the QR code feature to help people accurately autofill the data of the business account. And you just have to use that to pay. If you don't want to use QR code then paytm app also allows you to pay through the mobile number attached to the paytm wallet.
