Hosted Checkout

Hosted payments lets you handover the control of the entire checkout process to Razorpay thereby providing a seamless checkout experience to your customers. As the payment information entered by the customers is securely stored with Razorpay, you do not have to worry about implementing the PCI compliance requirements at your end.

How it Works#

Unlike the standard implementation of checkout where customers enter their payment details on a pop-up modal, hosted payments securely redirects customers to a Checkout page hosted at Razorpay. The payment details submitted by the customer in the Checkout form are sent to our server. Payments, from thereon, follow the usual payment flow.

Workflow#

To implement hosted payments you must do the following:

Create an Order.
Pass Checkout options.
Configure a callback.

1. Create an Order#

Each payment must be tied to a unique Razorpay Order and also have a one-to-one mapping with the order created at your end. Creating an Order has several advantages such as:

Combine multiple payment attempts for a single order
Automatically capture payments
Quick and easy database querying

 Request Response
Copycurl -u <YOUR_KEY>:<YOUR_SECRET> \
-X POST https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
    "amount": "50000",
    "currency" : "INR",
    "receipt": "rcptid #1",
    "payment_capture": "0"
    }'
Copy{
  "id": "order_4xbQrmEoA5WJ0G",
  "entity": "order",
  "amount": 50000,
  "amount_paid": 0,
  "amount_due": 50000,
  "currency": "INR",
  "receipt": "rcptid #1",
  "status": "created",
  "attempts": 0,
  "notes": [],
  "created_at": 1455696638
}

3. Configure a Callback#

Once payment is successful, the response parameters: razorpay_payment_id, razorpay_order_id and razorpay_signature are sent as form-data as a POST request to the callback_url. You can consume this response to verify the payment signature.

Note:
If a user cancels the transaction, a GET redirect request is made to the cancel_url.
