Orders

Razorpay enables you to create orders and link them to payments. Order creation is an important step as it helps you associate every payment with an order, thus preventing multiple payments.

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.

Upgrade your Orders API Integration:
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.

Integrations

  • Looking to integrate your website, ecommerce store or mobile app with Razorpay Payment Gateway? Visit our Introduction to Razorpay page to find the right integration method for you.
  • If you want to directly integrate with our APIs, reach out to our Support team with your requirements.
  • You can also collect payments without a website or app, using Razorpay products, such as Payment Links, Payment Pages, Subscription Links, Invoices and Smart Collect.

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 Postman Collection🔗

Generate API Keys

  • 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 order_id (Order ID) as a path parameter.

    • For example, the Fetch Order by ID API requires you to add the order_id as a path parameter.
    • These parameters are enclosed in {} in the collection. For example, {order_id}.
    • The API throws an error if these are incorrect or do not exist in your system.
