1.1.3. Create an Authorisation Payment

Create a payment checkout form for customers to make authorisation transaction and register their mandate. You can use the Handler Function or Callback URL.

Handler FunctionCallback 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.
<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>

1.1.3.1. Additional Checkout Fields

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

order_id

mandatory

string Unique identifier of the order created in the second step.

account_id

mandatory

string Unique identifier of the submerchant.

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

1.2. Using a Registration Link

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

Dashboard

.

Handy Tips

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

When you create a registration link, an

invoice

is automatically issued to the customer. They can use this invoice to make the authorisation payment.

A registration link should always have an order amount (in paise) the customer will be charged when making the authorisation payment. This amount should be ₹1 in the case of UPI.

1.2.1. Create a Registration Link

The following endpoint creates a registration link.
