Payment Gateway | CS-Cart - Integration Steps

Follow the steps given below to integrate Razorpay Payment Gateway with your CS-Cart website.

1. Build Integration

Install and configure the CS-Cart plugin.

2. Test Integration

Test the integration by making a test payment.

1. Build Integration

Follow the steps given below:

1.1 Installation

Ensure you have the latest version of CS-Cart installed.
Download the latest
Source code zip file
from the releases section. Unzip the repository.
Run the install.razorpay.sql file, which can be found inside the unzipped package, against your CS-Cart database. To do this, you can either:
- Use phpMyAdmin to import the file into your CS-Cart database.
- Copy and paste the content and run it directly in your MySQL shell.
Upload the rest of the plugin's contents to your CS-Cart Installation directory.
1. The app folder's content goes into your CS-Cart Installation directory.
2. The content of the design folder goes into the design folder in your CS-Cart Installation directory.

1.2 Configuration

Log in to CS-Cart as administrator.
Navigate to Administration → Payment Methods.
Add a new payment method.
Select Razorpay from the list and then click Save. Select cc_outside.tpl for the template.
Navigate to the Configure tab.
Add your [KEY_ID] and [KEY_SECRET] generated from the Dashboard.

Handy Tips

Webhook is auto-configured when you enter and save the API key ID and secret on the plugin settings page. You need to verify that webhooks are enabled on your

Dashboard

. However, for versions lower than 1.4.0, you need to

manually configure webhooks

After the integration, Razorpay is added as a payment option on your web page/app. You need to click the button and make a test transaction to ensure the integration works as expected. You can start accepting actual customer payments once the test is successful.

You can make test payments using one of the payment methods configured at the Checkout.

No money is deducted from the customer's account as this is a simulated transaction.
Ensure you have entered the API keys generated in the test mode in the Checkout code.

Supported Payment Methods

Netbanking

You can select any of the listed banks. After choosing a bank, Razorpay will redirect to a mock page where you can make the payment a success or a failure. Since it is the test mode, we will not redirect you to the bank login portals.

UPI

You can enter one of the following UPI IDs:

success@razorpay: To make the payment successful.
failure@razorpay: To fail the payment.

Handy Tips

You can use Test Mode to test UPI payments, and Live Mode for UPI Intent and QR payments.

Wallet

You can select any of the listed wallets. After choosing a wallet, Razorpay will redirect to a mock page where you can make the payment a success or a failure. Since it is the test mode, we will not redirect you to the wallet login portals.

Cards

You can use one of the test cards to make transactions in the test mode. Use any valid expiration date in the future and any random CVV to create a successful payment.

Verify Payment Status

You can track the payment status from the Dashboard or by polling APIs.

Log in to the Dashboard and navigate to Transactions → Payments.
Check if a payment_ID has been generated and note the status. In case of a successful payment, the status is marked as captured.

3. Go-live Checklist

Follow these steps before taking the integration live:

3.1 Accept Live Payments

You can perform an end-to-end simulation of funds flow in the Test Mode. Once confident that the integration is working as expected, switch to the Live Mode and start accepting payments from customers.

Watch Out!

Ensure you are switching your test API keys with API keys generated in Live Mode.

To generate API Keys in Live Mode on your Dashboard:

Log in to the Dashboard and switch to Live Mode on the menu.
Navigate to Account & Settings → API Keys → Generate Key to generate the API Key for Live Mode.
Download the keys and save them securely.
Replace the Test API Key with the Live Key in the Checkout code and start accepting actual payments.

3.2 Payment Capture

After payment is authorized, you need to capture it to settle the amount to your bank account as per the settlement schedule. Payments that are not captured are auto-refunded after a fixed time.

Watch Out

You should deliver the products or services to your customers only after the payment is captured. Razorpay automatically refunds all the uncaptured payments.
You can track the payment status using our
Fetch a Payment API
or webhooks.

Authorized payments can be automatically captured. You can auto-capture all payments

using global settings

on the Dashboard. Know more about

capture settings for payments

Watch Out!

Payment capture settings work only if you have integrated with Orders API on your server side. Know more about the
