Orders

Create, view and update an Order using Razorpay APIs.

You can create

Orders

and link them to payments.

  • Order creation is important as it helps you associate every payment with an order, thus preventing multiple payments.
  • It is compulsory to create orders to capture payments automatically.
  • The order ID secures the payment request and one cannot tamper with the order amount.

Orders and payments go hand-in-hand. Once a payment is captured, the order is marked paid. Know more about:

Orders API

Orders APIs are used to create, update and retrieve details of Orders. Also, you can retrieve details of payments made towards these Orders.

You can try out our APIs on the Razorpay Postman Public Workspace.

Run in Postman

Upgrade Your Orders API

The payment_capture parameter, earlier passed for automatic capture of payments, is being deprecated and hence no longer required. For automatically capturing the payments, visit our

payment capture settings

page.
