1. Create Authorisation Transaction
Create an authorisation transaction for cards using Razorpay APIs.
You can create an authorisation transaction using:
- Razorpay APIs
- Registration Link
Razorpay links recurring tokens to customers via a unique identifier. You can generate this identifier using the Customer API.
You can create customers with basic information such as email and contact and use them for various Razorpay offerings. The following endpoint creates a customer.
curl -X POST https://api.razorpay.com/v1/customers \-u [YOUR_PARTNER_KEY_ID]:[YOUR_PARTNER_KEY_SECRET]\-H "X-Razorpay-Account: acc_KBrJAIEqre5ucn" \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"name": "Gaurav Kumar","email": "gaurav.kumar@example.com","contact": "9999999999","fail_existing": "0","notes":{"note_key_1": "November Rains.","note_key_2": "Snow on the beach."}}'
