Payment Gateway | Python SDK - Build Integration

Follow the steps given below to integrate Razorpay Payment Gateway with your Python website. The integration process is explained using the

Python sample app

, which contains the following files:

To integrate Razorpay Payment Gateway on your Python website:

1.1

Install Razorpay Python SDK

1.2

Create an Order in Server

1.3

Add Checkout Options

1.4

Store Fields in Server

1.5

Verify Payment Signature

1.6

Verify Payment Status

1.1 Install Razorpay Python SDK

Follow these steps to install the Razorpay Python SDK:

Download the latest source code zip file from
GitHub
.
Unzip the file and add it to your project.

App Details

After setting up the client, set up your app details before making requests to Razorpay. Run the following command to set up your app details:

client.set_app_details({"title" : "<YOUR_APP_TITLE>", "version" : "<YOUR_APP_VERSION>"})

The data type the app title and version is a string.

For example, you can set the title to Django and version to 1.8.17.

1.2 Create an Order in Server

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.

Handy Tips

You can capture payments automatically with the

Payment Capture setting configuration

on the Razorpay Dashboard.

API Sample Code

Create a file, for example, main.py and add the API code given below:

import razorpay
client = razorpay.Client(auth=("YOUR_ID", "YOUR_SECRET"))

data = { "amount": 500, "currency": "INR", "receipt": "order_rcptid_11" }
payment = client.order.create(data=data)

Request Parameters

Here is the list of parameters for creating an order:

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

receipt

optional

string Your receipt id for this order should be passed here. Maximum length is 40 characters.

notes

optional

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

partial_payment

optional

boolean Indicates whether the customer can make a partial payment. Possible values:

true: The customer can make partial payments.
false (default): The customer cannot make partial payments.

first_payment_min_amount

optional

integer Minimum amount that must be paid by the customer as the first partial payment. For example, if an amount of ₹7,000.00 is to be received from the customer in two installments of #1 - ₹5,000.00, #2 - ₹2,000.00 then you can set this value as 500000. This parameter should be passed only if partial_payment is true.

Handy Tips

Configure Payment Methods

Multiple payment methods are available on Razorpay 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
.

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.

Success/Failure Handling Code (Checkout with Handler Function)

"handler": function (response){
    alert(response.razorpay_payment_id);
    alert(response.razorpay_order_id);
    alert(response.razorpay_signature)}

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.

1.4 Store Fields in 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.

1.5 Verify Payment Signature

This is a mandatory step that allows you to confirm the authenticity of the details returned to the checkout for successful payments.

To verify the razorpay_signature returned to you by the checkout:

Create a signature in your server using the following attributes:

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
  }

If the signature you generate on your server matches the razorpay_signature returned to you by the checkout, the payment received is from an authentic source.

Generate Signature on Your Server

Use the code given below to generate signature on your server:

import razorpay
client = razorpay.Client(auth=("YOUR_ID", "YOUR_SECRET"))

client.utility.verify_payment_signature({
   'razorpay_order_id': razorpay_order_id,
   'razorpay_payment_id': razorpay_payment_id,
   'razorpay_signature': razorpay_signature
   })

1.6 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:

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.

Check if the payment id is generated and the status is captured
