About Build Your Own Ecommerce Plugin

Build your own custom plugin to integrate Razorpay with your ecommerce website and start accepting payments.


You can build a plugin that integrates Razorpay Payment Gateway with websites created using ecommerce platforms such as Drupal or Spree Commerce.

Order is an important step in the payment process.

  • An order should be created for every payment.
  • You can create an order using the . It is a server-side API call. Know how to Orders API.
  • The order_id received in the response should be passed to the checkout. This ties the order with the payment and secures the request from being tampered.

You can create an order:

  • Using the sample code on the Razorpay Postman Public Workspace.
  • By manually integrating the API sample codes on your server.

You can use the Postman workspace below to create an order:

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 .

After verifying the signature, fetch the order in your system that corresponds to razorpay_order_id in your database. You can now mark this fetched order as successful and process the order.

You can make a test payment to check whether the integration works.

Following are some of the common issues that you must watch out for while integrating:

  1. Not storing the Razorpay order ID at your end.
  2. Passing the amount from the frontend to the Razorpay order creation call.
  3. Passing USD or any other non-INR currency while creating the order.
  4. Passing razorpay_order_id from the frontend while verifying the signature.

Alternatively, you can use this value to check the integrity of the signature while looking up the corresponding order at your end with this Razorpay order ID and marking only that as successful.
