1. Build Integration for Cards (New Integration)

You can integrate with Razorpay APIs to start accepting card payments. Razorpay APIs support the latest 3DS2 authentication protocol.

Handy Tips
If you are an existing Razorpay user, that is, you integrated with our S2S APIs before October 15, 2022, you need to make certain integration changes to

migrate to the 3DS2 flow

Watch Out!

You must have a PCI compliance certificate to get this feature enabled on your account.

3DS2 Authentication

3DS2 is an authentication protocol, the successor of 3DS1, that enables businesses and payment providers to send additional information (such as customer device or browser data) to verify the transaction's authenticity. Razorpay integration is compliant with the 3DS2 protocol.

3DS2 transactions

Handy Tips

Integration does not differ for the challenge flow or frictionless flow.
Frictionless flow is not applicable for payments on cards issued in India.

1.1 Create an Order

Order is an important step in the payment process.

An order should be created for every payment.
You can create an order using the
Orders API
. It is a server-side API call. Know how to
authenticate
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.

Razorpay Postman Public Workspace

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

Handy Tips

Under the Authorization section in Postman, select Basic Auth and add the Key Id and secret as the Username and Password, respectively.

API Sample Code

Use this endpoint to create an order using the Orders API.

Request Parameters

amount

mandatory

integer Payment amount in the smallest currency sub-unit. For example, if the amount to be charged is ₹299.00, then pass 29900 in this field. In the case of three decimal currencies, such as KWD, BHD and OMR, to accept a payment of 295.991, pass the value as 295990. And in the case of zero decimal currencies such as JPY, to accept a payment of 295, pass the value as 295.

Watch Out!

As per payment guidelines, you should pass the last decimal number as 0 for three decimal currency payments. For example, if you want to charge a customer 99.991 KD for a transaction, you should pass the value for the amount parameter as 99990 and not 99991.

currency

mandatory

string The currency in which the transaction should be made. See the

list of supported currencies

. Length must be 3 characters.

Handy Tips

Razorpay has added support for zero decimal currencies, such as JPY, and three decimal currencies, such as KWD, BHD, and OMR, allowing businesses to accept international payments in these currencies. Know more about

opt_resend - Use this URL to resend OTP to the customer.

url

string URL to be used for the action indicated.

If the customer faces any latency issues, you can choose to cancel this request and redirect the customer to the bank page to enter the OTP and complete the payment. Thus, you can avoid payment failure by switching the customer to the bank page payment flow.

Response on Submitting OTP

Razorpay sends the respective success or failure response after the customer submits the OTP on your page.

The following endpoint submits the OTP:

POST

payments/:id/otp/submit

After the payment is completed, the final response is posted to the URL given in callback_url of the request, and can then be verified.

1.3 Handle Payment Success and Error Events

Once the payment is completed by the customer, a POST request is made to the callback_url provided in the payment request. The data contained in this request will depend on whether the payment was a success or a failure.

Success Callback

If the payment made by the customer is successful, the following fields are sent:

razorpay_payment_id
razorpay_order_id
razorpay_signature

{
  "razorpay_payment_id": "pay_29QQoUBi66xm2f",
  "razorpay_order_id": "order_9A33XWu170gUtm",
  "razorpay_signature": "9ef4dffbfd84f1318f6739a3ce19f9d85851857ae648f114332d8401e0949a3d"
}

Failure Callback

If the payment has failed, the callback will contain details of the error. Refer to

Errors

for details.

1.4 Verify Payment Signature

Signature verification is a mandatory step to ensure that the callback is sent by Razorpay. The razorpay_signature contained in the callback can be regenerated by your system and verified as follows.

Create a string to be hashed using the razorpay_payment_id contained in the callback and the Order ID generated in the first step, separated by a |. Hash this string using SHA256 and your API Secret.

generated_signature = hmac_sha256(order_id + "|" + razorpay_payment_id, secret);

if (generated_signature == razorpay_signature) {
    payment is successful
}

Generate Signature on your Server

/**
* This class defines common routines for generating
* authentication signatures for Razorpay Webhook requests.
*/
public class Signature
{
    private static final String HMAC_SHA256_ALGORITHM = "HmacSHA256";
    /**
    * Computes RFC 2104-compliant HMAC signature.
    * * @param data
    * The data to be signed.
    * @param key
    * The signing key.
    * @return
    * The Base64-encoded RFC 2104-compliant HMAC signature.
    * @throws
    * java.security.SignatureException when signature generation fails
    */
    public static String calculateRFC2104HMAC(String data, String secret)
    throws java.security.SignatureException
    {
        String result;
        try {

            // get an hmac_sha256 key from the raw secret bytes
            SecretKeySpec signingKey = new SecretKeySpec(secret.getBytes(), HMAC_SHA256_ALGORITHM);

            // get an hmac_sha256 Mac instance and initialize with the signing key
            Mac mac = Mac.getInstance(HMAC_SHA256_ALGORITHM);
            mac.init(signingKey);

            // compute the hmac on input data bytes
            byte[] rawHmac = mac.doFinal(data.getBytes());

            // base64-encode the hmac
            result = DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(rawHmac).toLowerCase();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new SignatureException("Failed to generate HMAC : " + e.getMessage());
        }
        return result;
    }
}
