razorpay_signature

Signature for server-side validation to be calculated as HMAC hex digest using SHA256 algorithm. This is described below with a sample code.

The query parameters are added to the URL as shown:

https://example-callback-url.com/?razorpay_payment_id=pay_Fc8mUeDrEKf08Y&razorpay_payment_link_id=plink_Fc8lXILABzQL7M&
razorpay_payment_link_reference_id=TSsd1989&
razorpay_payment_link_status=partially_paid&razorpay_signature=b0ea302006d9c3da504510c9be482a647d5196b265f5a82aeb272888dcbee70e

You can verify the razorpay_signature parameter to validate that it is authentic and sent from Razorpay servers.

  • The razorpay_payment_link_id​ attribute should be stored in your system against an order, right after it is returned in the create response. This is displayed as just id (for example, "id": "plink_FKeEiabyAAiSVQ") in the response.
  • The razorpay_signature should be validated by your server. In order to verify the signature, you need to create a signature using
    • razorpay_payment_link_id
    • razorpay_payment_link_reference_id
    • razorpay_payment_link_status
    • razorpay_payment_id​ as payload and your key_secret​ (your API secret) as secret.

After validating the signature, you should fetch the order in your system corresponding to the razorpay_payment_link_id​ and mark this order as successful.
