Items

Items are products or services that you bill customers for by adding them to an invoice. You can create an item using APIs. When an item is created, it will appear on the list of items in the Dashboard.

Tip:
If your business requires you to create custom items, you can create pre-defined item templates beforehand and use these later as line items.

Postman Collection#

We have a Postman collection to make the integration quicker and easier. Click the Download Postman Collection button below to get started.

Instructions to use the Postman Collection#

  • All Razorpay APIs are authorized using Basic Authorization.
    • Generate API Keys from the Dashboard .
    • Add your API Keys in Postman. Selected the required API → Auth → Type = Basic Auth → Username = <Your_Key_ID>; Password = <Your_Key_secret>
  • Some APIs in the collection require data specific to your account such as item_id (Item ID) as a path parameter.
    • For example, the Fetch Item by ID API requires you to add the item_id as a path parameter.
    • Such parameters are enclosed in {} in the collection. For example, {item_id}.
    • The API throws an error if these values are incorrect or do not exist in your system.
