On-Demand Feature - Raise a Request

Feature Request

This is an on-demand feature. Please raise a request with our
Support team
to get this feature activated on your Razorpay account.
Watch this video to know how to raise a feature enablement request on the Razorpay Dashboard.

How it Works

Customer selects bank transfer as the payment method on Checkout.
A Customer Identifier is created with bank account number and IFSC details and displayed to customer.
Customer copies these details and make a netbanking payment from their online banking portal.

These Customer Identifiers are linked to the bank account you have registered with Razorpay. The money will be settled to your account as per the settlement schedule. You can choose:

Watch Out!

All bank transfer payments are auto-captured.

Manual capture

of payments is not supported.

Method 1: Create New Customer Identifier Per Order

This creates a new Customer Identifier per order, every time a customer selects bank transfer as the payment method on Checkout.

Integration

The bank transfer payment method will appear for the

Payment Gateway

and products such as Payment Links and Payment Pages.

Payment Links and Payment Pages

No additional integration is required if you are using Payment Links and Payment Pages. Raise a request with our

Support Team

to activate the feature on your account.

Apart from enabling this feature on your account, complete the following steps to integrate this feature on your Razorpay Standard Integration:

If you have integrated with

Razorpay Standard Checkout

, you must implement the ondismiss function to track the lifecycle of the Checkout modal. This displays the close icon, which the customer can use to exit the Checkout.

Handy Tips

If you are using

Android SDK

, you can rely on the "payment cancelled by user" error response to track the lifecycle of the Checkout modal.

"modal": {
        "ondismiss": function(){
            console.log(data);
        }
  }

Step 2: Attach Event Listeners to `Razorpay` Instance

For bank transfer payments, Checkout will not give a success or a failure callback. You must attach event listeners to the Razorpay instance to track if and when the customer has selected the bank transfer payment method.

var rzp = new Razorpay(options);
rzp.on('payment.submit', function (data) {
  if (data.method === 'bank_transfer') {
    // User has selected Bank Transfer
  }
});

You must subscribe to the virtual_account.credited webhook event on the Razorpay Dashboard to receive notifications whenever customers make payments using bank transfers. Know how to

set up webhooks

Method 2: Create New Customer Identifier Per Customer

This ensures that each customer will be allocated a unique Customer Identifier, whenever they use the bank transfer method on Checkout. This method requires specific integration steps, which are mentioned in the following section.

Integration

The bank transfer payment method will appear for the

Payment Gateway

and products such as Payment Links and Payment Pages.

Payment Links and Payment Pages

No additional integration is required if you are using Payment Links and Payment Pages. Raise a request with our

Support Team

to activate the feature on your account.

Apart from enabling this feature on your account, you must implement the following steps in your payment gateway integration:

Step 1: Create a Customer

You must create a customer using the Customers API. You can also do this using the Razorpay Dashboard.

The following endpoint creates or add a customer with basic details such as name and contact details. You can use this API for various Razorpay Solution offerings.

POST

/customers

name

optional

string Customer's name. Alphanumeric value with period (.), apostrophe (') and parentheses are allowed. The name must be between 3-50 characters in length. For example, Gaurav Kumar.

contact

optional

string The customer's phone number. A maximum length of 15 characters including country code. For example, +919876543210.

optional

string The customer's email address. A maximum length of 64 characters. For example, gaurav.kumar@example.com.

fail_existing

optional

string Possible values:

0: If a customer with the same details already exists, fetches details of the existing customer.
1 (default): If a customer with the same details already exists, throws an error.

gstin

optional

string Customer's GST number, if available. For example, 29XAbbA4369J1PA.

notes

optional

object This is a key-value pair that can be used to store additional information about the entity. It can hold a maximum of 15 key-value pairs, 256 characters (maximum) each. For example, "note_key": "Beam me up Scotty”.

Step 2: 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.

You can create an order manually by integrating the API sample codes on your server.

API Sample Code

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

POST

/orders

curl -X POST https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders

Step 3: Pass `customer_id` and `order_id` to Checkout

You must pass the customer_id and order_id generated in the previous steps to Checkout, as shown below:

<button id="rzp-button1">Pay</button>
<script src="https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/checkout.js"></script>
<script>
var options = {
    "key": "<YOUR_KEY_ID>", // Enter the Key ID generated from the Dashboard
    "amount": "50000", // Amount is in currency subunits. Default currency is INR. Hence, 50000 refers to 50000 paise
    "currency": "INR",
    "name": "Acme Corp",
    "description": "Test Transaction",
    "image": "https://cdn.razorpay.com/logos/BUVypPrCFaKDu3_large.jpg",
    "order_id": "order_DBJOWzybf0sJbb",

    "handler": function (response){
        alert(response.razorpay_payment_id);
        alert(response.razorpay_order_id);
        alert(response.razorpay_signature)
    },
    "theme": {
        "color": "#3399cc"
    }
};
var rzp1 = new Razorpay(options);
document.getElementById('rzp-button1').onclick = function(e){
    rzp1.open();
    e.preventDefault();
}
</script>

(Only if you are using

Standard Checkout

)

If you have integrated with Razorpay Standard Checkout, you must implement the ondismiss function to track the lifecyle of the Checkout modal. This displays the close icon, which the customer can use to exit the Checkout.

"modal": {
        "ondismiss": function(){
            console.log(data);
        }
  }

Step 5: Attach Event Listeners to `Razorpay` Instance [Optional]

var rzp = new Razorpay(options);
rzp.on('payment.submit', function (data) {
  if (data.method === 'bank_transfer') {
    // User has selected Bank Transfer
  }
});

You must subscribe to the virtual_account.credited webhook event on the Razorpay Dashboard to receive notifications whenever customers make payments using bank transfers. Know how to

setup webhooks
