Creating a customer generates a unique customer_id by collecting basic details such as name, email, and contact details. This customer_id must be included when creating a payment request to link the payment to the customer. Use the following API to create a customer.

You can try out our APIs on the Razorpay Postman Public Workspace. Fork the workspace and test the APIs with your

Error Response Parameters

When creating a custom checkout form, display only the activated methods to the customer. Use the below methods to fetch all payments methods available to you:

// logo, displayed in the popup
image: 'https://i.imgur.com/n5tjHFD.jpg',
});
razorpay.once('ready', function(response) {
console.log(response.methods);
})

Know more about the various

offered by Razorpay.

Include the following script, preferably in the <head> section of your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/razorpay.js"></script>

Handy Tips

  • Include the script from https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/razorpay.js instead of entering a copy from your server. This allows the library's new updates and bug fixes to fit your application automatically.
  • We always maintain backward compatibility with our code.

You can instantiate single instance or multiple instances of Custom Checkout on the same page.

var razorpay = new Razorpay({
key: '<YOUR_KEY_ID>',
// logo, displayed in the payment processing popup
image: 'https://i.imgur.com/n5tjHFD.jpg',
});

While building a custom UI for accepting payments from your customers, you should be familiar with the fields supported in the razorpay.js script.

Request parameters

key

mandatory

string API Key ID generated from DashboardAccount & Settings

.

image

optional

string Link to an image (usually your business logo) shown in the Checkout form. Can also be a base64 string, if loading the image from a network is not desirable.

After creating an order and obtaining the customer's payment details, send the information to Razorpay to complete the payment. You can do this by invoking createPayment method. The data that needs to be submitted depends on the customer's payment method.

Know more about

and .

var data = {
amount: 1000, // in currency subunits. Here 1000 = 1000 paise, which equals to ₹10
currency: "INR",// Default is INR. We support more than 90 currencies.
email: 'gaurav.kumar@example.com',
contact: '9123456780',
customer_id: 'cust_MpINfSkdEvtdxb',
notes: {
"invoice_number": "IRS1245",
"goods_description": "Digital Lamp",
},
order_id: 'order_NGrgEcmYJsfUyl',// Replace with Order ID generated in Step 4
method: 'netbanking',
// method specific fields
bank: 'YESB'
};
var btn = document.querySelector('#btn');
btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
// has to be placed within user initiated context, such as click, in order for popup to open.
razorpay.createPayment(data);
razorpay.on('payment.success', function(resp) {
alert(resp.razorpay_payment_id),
alert(resp.razorpay_order_id),
alert(resp.razorpay_signature)}); // will pass payment ID, order ID, and Razorpay signature to success handler.
razorpay.on('payment.error', function(resp){alert(resp.error.description)}); // will pass error object to error handler
})

Watch Out!

  • The invoice_number field is mandatory for all payment methods. Ensure each payment has a unique invoice number.
  • The createPayment method should be called within an event listener triggered by user action to prevent the popup from being blocked. For example:

$('button').click( function (){ razorpay.createPayment(...) })

Following payment methods are supported under the Import Flow:

  • Netbanking
  • UPI
  • Cards

  • For recurring payments, additional integration is needed. Cards, UPI, and UPI with TPV are supported as a payment methods.

You can use Handler Function or Callback URL to send the payment details to us. Following is the difference between them.

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.

Following are the request parameters.

A successful payment returns the following fields to the Checkout form.

string Unique identifier for the payment returned by Checkout only for successful payments.

razorpay_order_id

string Unique identifier for the order returned by Checkout.

razorpay_signature

string Signature returned by the Checkout. This is used to verify the payment.

{
"error": {
"code": "BAD_REQUEST_ERROR",
"description": "Authentication failed due to incorrect otp",
"field": null,
"source": "customer",
"step": "payment_authentication",
"reason": "invalid_otp",
"metadata": {
"payment_id": "pay_EDNBKIP31Y4jl8",
"order_id": "order_DBJKIP31Y4jl8"
}
}
}

.

This is a mandatory step to confirm the authenticity of the details returned to the Checkout form for successful payments.

To verify the razorpay_signature returned to you by the Checkout form:

  1. Create a signature in your server using the following attributes:

    • order_id: Retrieve the order_id from your server. Do not use the razorpay_order_id returned by Checkout.
    • razorpay_payment_id: Returned by Checkout.
    • key_secret: Available in your server. The key_secret that was generated from the .
  2. Use the SHA256 algorithm, the razorpay_payment_id and the order_id to construct a HMAC hex digest as shown below:

    generated_signature = hmac_sha256(order_id + "|" + razorpay_payment_id, secret);
    if (generated_signature == razorpay_signature) {
    payment is successful
    }
  3. If the signature you generate on your server matches the razorpay_signature returned to you by the Checkout form, the payment received is from an authentic source.

Given below is the sample code for payment signature verification:

RazorpayClient razorpay = new RazorpayClient("[YOUR_KEY_ID]", "[YOUR_KEY_SECRET]");
String secret = "EnLs21M47BllR3X8PSFtjtbd";
JSONObject options = new JSONObject();
options.put("razorpay_order_id", "order_IEIaMR65cu6nz3");
options.put("razorpay_payment_id", "pay_IH4NVgf4Dreq1l");
options.put("razorpay_signature", "0d4e745a1838664ad6c9c9902212a32d627d68e917290b0ad5f08ff4561bc50f");
boolean status = Utils.verifyPaymentSignature(options, secret);

After you have completed the integration, you can

, make test payments, replace the test key with the live key and integrate with other .

Handy Tips

On the Dashboard, ensure that the payment status is captured. Refer to the payment capture settings page to know how to

.

You can track the payment status in three ways:

To verify the payment status from the Dashboard:

  1. Log in to the Dashboard and navigate to TransactionsPayments.
  2. Check if a Payment Id has been generated and note the status. In case of a successful payment, the status is marked as Captured.
Check if the payment id is generated and the status is captured
