Create Offers

Create and manage Offers for customers from the Razorpay Dashboard.


You can create offers from the Dashboard to promote your business. Some of the ways you can control offers at a granular level are:

  • Configuring the payment methods permitted for the offer.
  • Limiting the number of times the offer can be availed.

Handy Tips

  • You cannot edit an offer. To make changes, disable the previous offer and create a new one.
  • Only the owner and admin roles can create offers.
  • As per the RBI guidelines, the original card number is replaced with a surrogate value called a token. However, we will continue to support BIN-based offers post tokenisation, except BIN-based offers will not work on saved American Express (AMEX) cards.

You should consider the following while creating offers:

  • Availability of the offer at Checkout.
  • Maximum number of times an offer should be applied.
  • Whether customers should be allowed to complete payments in the event of validations set in the offers not being met.
  • Maximum discount that can be availed using the offer.
  • Number of times a payment method, specifically cards, should be used for availing an offer.
