Verify Signature🔗

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 have been stored in your system against an order, right after it was returned in the create Payment Link 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 and 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.
