Charge First Payment Automatically after NACH Registration

Register a customer's mandate AND charge them the first recurring payment as part of the same transaction via paper NACH.

You can register a customer's mandate and charge them the first recurring payment as part of the same transaction. For this you have to pass the first_payment_amount parameter while creating the order.

The flow to complete an authorisation transaction using paper NACH differs from the other payment method's flow.

Create a customer.
Create an order by passing the customer_id and the method as nach. Razorpay generates a NACH form with the customer information pre-filled and ready to sign.
The customer can get the form in one of the following ways to sign it:
- You can download the form from the Dashboard and send it to the customer.
- A customer can download the form from the Hosted page (in the case of registration links).
The signed form can be uploaded in one of the following ways:
- Using the Standard Checkout page.
- Hosted page (in the case of registration links).
- The customer can send you the form and you can upload the form for the customer. The acceptable image formats and size are:
  - jpeg
  - jpg
  - png
  - Maximum accepted size is 6 MB.

Once the details are validated, the authorisation transaction is completed, and a token is generated. You can charge your customer as per your business model after the token status changes to confirmed.

Using the
Razorpay Standard Checkout
.
Using a

for more information.

You can create a payment against the order_id after it is created.

1.1.3. Create an Authorization Payment

You should create an authorization payment after you create an order.

To create an authorization payment:

Download the Paper NACH form and send it to the customers.
Ask the customers to fill the form and either
Upload via Checkout
or send it to you to upload the form using the
create NACH File API
.

1.1.3.1 Upload the NACH File via Checkout

Create a payment checkout form for customers to upload the NACH form and make the Authorisation Transaction. You can use the Handler Function or Callback URL.

Handler Function	Callback URL
When you use the handler function, the response object of the successful payment ( `razorpay_payment_id` , `razorpay_order_id` and `razorpay_signature` ) is submitted to the Checkout form. You need to collect these and send them to your server.	When you use a Callback URL, the response object of the successful payment ( `razorpay_payment_id` , `razorpay_order_id` and `razorpay_signature` ) is submitted to the Callback URL.

Watch Out!

The Callback URL is not supported for Recurring Payments created using the registration link.

<button id = "rzp-button1"> Pay </button>
  <script src = "https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/checkout.js"> </script>
  <script>
    var options = {
      "key": "[YOUR_KEY_ID]",
      "order_id": "order_1Aa00000000001",
      "customer_id": "cust_1Aa00000000001",
      "recurring": "1",
      "handler": function (response) {
        alert(response.razorpay_payment_id);
        alert(response.razorpay_order_id);
        alert(response.razorpay_signature);
      },
      "notes": {
        "note_key 1": "Beam me up Scotty",
        "note_key 2": "Tea. Earl Gray. Hot."
      },
      "theme": {
        "color": "#F37254"
      }
    };
    var rzp1 = new Razorpay(options);
    document.getElementById('rzp-button1').onclick = function (e) {
      rzp1.open();
      e.preventDefault();
    }
  </script>

Additional Checkout Fields

You should send the following additional parameters along with the existing checkout options as a part of the authorisation transaction.

customer_id

mandatory

string Unique identifier of the customer created in the

first step

order_id

mandatory

string Unique identifier of the order created in the

second step

recurring

mandatory

boolean Determines whether the recurring payment is enabled or not. Possible values:

1: Recurring payment is enabled.
0: Recurring payment is not enabled.

1.1.3.2 Upload the NACH File via API

You can upload the signed NACH forms that are collected from your customers using the create NACH File API, . Razorpay's OCR-enabled NACH engine submits the form to NPCI on successful verification and you will receive a success or a failure response.

Feature Request

This is an on-demand feature. Please raise a request with our
Support team
to get this feature activated on your Razorpay account.
Watch this video to know how to raise a feature enablement request on the Razorpay Dashboard.

Use the following endpoint to upload the signed Paper NACH form via the API.

POST

/payments/create/nach/file

Use the following API to upload the NACH file sent by the customer.

Error Reasons

The below table lists the errors that may appear while uploading the NACH file, the reason, explanation and next steps:

Reason	Explanation	Next Steps
`unknown_file_type`	The file type of the image is not supported.	Upload an image that is in either of `.jpeg` , `.jpg` or `.png` formats.
`file_size_exceeds_limit`	The file size exceeds the permissible limits.	Upload an image of smaller size.
`image_not_clear`	The uploaded image is not clear. This can either be due to poor resolution or because part of the image is cropped.	Upload an image with better quality without any cropping of the form.
`form_mismatch`	The ID of the uploaded form does not match with that in our records.	Check that the form is uploaded against the correct order ID.
`form_signature_missing`	The signature of the customer is either missing or could not be detected.	Check that the customer has signed in the appropriate box and that the image uploaded is clear. For current account, a company stamp may also be required.
`form_data_mismatch`	One or more of the fields on the NACH form do not match with that in our records.	Check that the image is clear and that the data has not been tampered with before uploading again.
`form_status_pending`	A form against this order is pending action on the destination bank. A new form cannot be submitted till a status is received.	Wait for an update from the destination bank on the approval/rejection of the mandate.

1.2. Using a Registration Link

Registration Link is an alternate way of creating an authorization transaction. You can create a registration link using the

API

Dashboard

Handy Tips

You do not have to create a customer if you choose the registration link method for creating an authorization transaction.

When you create a registration link, an
invoice
is automatically issued to the customer. They can use this invoice to make the authorization payment.
A registration link should always have an order amount (in paise) the customer will be charged when making the authorization payment. This amount should be 0 in the case of Paper NACH.

Handy Tips

You can

use Webhooks to get notifications about successful payments

against a registration link.
