1. Build Integration

Steps to integrate with Razorpay Import Flow for a seamless payment solution for International Businesses.

Follow these steps to integrate the standard checkout form on your website:

1.1

Create a customer in server


1.2

Create an order in server


1.3

Integrate with checkout on client-side


1.4

Handle payment success and failure


1.5

1.1 Create a Customer in Server

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

Test API Keys

.

Run in Postman

Test your integration using these

test cards

.

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(...) })

Given below is a list of errors you may face while integrating with checkout on the client-side.

Configure Payment Methods (Optional)

Multiple payment methods are available on the Razorpay Web Standard Checkout.

  • The payment methods are fixed and cannot be changed.
  • You can configure the order or make certain payment methods prominent. Know more about

    configuring payment methods

    .

1.4 Handle Payment Success and Failure

The way the Payment Success and Failure scenarios are handled depends on the

Checkout Sample Code

you used in the last step.

Checkout with Handler Function

If you used the sample code with the handler function:

The customer sees your website page. The checkout returns the response object of the successful payment (razorpay_payment_id, razorpay_order_id and razorpay_signature). Collect these and send them to your server.

Checkout with Callback URL

If you used the sample code with the callback URL:

Razorpay makes a POST call to the callback URL with the razorpay_payment_id, razorpay_order_id and razorpay_signature in the response object of the successful payment. Only successful authorisations are auto-submitted.

1.5 Store Fields in your Server

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

  • You need to store these fields in your server.
  • You can confirm the authenticity of these details by verifying the signature in the next step.

razorpay_payment_id

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.

1.6 Verify Payment Signature

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

      Dashboard

      .

  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.

Generate Signature on Your Server

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);

Post Signature Verification

After you have completed the integration, you can

set up webhooks

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

APIs

.

Here are the links to our

SDKs

for the supported platforms.

1.7 Verify Payment Status

Handy Tips

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

capture payments automatically

.

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 Transactions → Payments.
  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
