3. Create Subsequent Payments
Create and charge subsequent payments using Razorpay APIs after the customer's selected payment method is authorised.
You should perform the following steps to create and charge your customer subsequent payments:
You have to create a new order every time you want to charge your customers. This order is different from the one created during the authorisation transaction.
Handy Tips
You can use the notification object in the request if you want to control pre-debit notifications and recurring debits.
The following endpoint creates an order.

Once you have generated an order_id, use it with the token_id to create a payment and charge the customer. The following endpoint creates a payment to charge the customer.
curl -u [YOUR_KEY_ID]:[YOUR_KEY_SECRET] \-X POST https://api.razorpay.com/v1/payments/create/recurring/ \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"email": "john.smith@example.com","contact": "+11234567890","amount": 1000,"currency": "","order_id": "order_1Aa00000000002","customer_id": "cust_1Aa00000000001","token": "token_1Aa00000000001","recurring": true,"description": "Creating recurring payment for Gaurav Kumar","notes": {"note_key 1": "Beam me up Scotty","note_key 2": "Tea.

UPI Payments
- We recommend sending a pre-debit notification to the customer 48 hours before the debit date.
- For UPI, it may take between 24-36 hours for the subsequent payment to reflect on your Dashboard.
- This is because of the failure of pre-debit notification and/or any retries that we attempt for the payment.
- Do not create another subsequent payment until you get the status of the previous one.
UPI Payments
- The subsequent payment may fail if there is late authorisation of an earlier payment.
- For UPI, do not create subsequent payments on the last day of the cycle. This will cause the payment to fail.
