FlexiExpiry allows merchants to set a flexible expiry date, giving users the freedom to pay at their convenience. No more rushed transactions; just a smooth, user-centric payment experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Alt ID Tokenization on Guest Checkout Card Transactions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And finally, to ensure all your payments are as safe as they can be, Razorpay introduces <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/docs\/payments\/payment-gateway\/web-integration\/custom\/features\/alt-id-checkout\/\">Alt ID Tokenization on Guest Checkout Card Transactions<\/a>. Our systems prioritise card holder security and privacy, adhering to RBI mandates. Instead of using real card numbers, we employ Alternate IDs (Alt IDs) for all pre and post-transaction activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Razorpay&#8217;s commitment to compliance meets cutting-edge technology in Alt ID Tokenization, creating a win-win for businesses and customers alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Seamless Checkouts with Optimised Error Handling: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody likes a failed payment.
