Create Customer Identifiers with TPV

Create and view Customer Identifiers and UPI IDs using the Razorpay Dashboard.


Smart Collect makes reconciling payments received through bank transfers easy by allowing you to create Customer Identifiers for specific customers and reconciling payments automatically.

You can create virtual UPI IDs for each of your customers, who can then add these IDs to their UPI PSP (Payment Service Provider) apps and make UPI payments.

Handy Tips

Currently, we support creation of virtual UPI IDs in the live mode only. However, Customer Identifiers can be created in the test and live modes.

To create a Customer Identifier from the Dashboard:

  1. Log in to the

    and click Smart Collect.

  2. Click + Create Customer Identifier.

  3. Select the type of receiver in Methods to accept payments in this account field. Both Bank Transfers (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS) and UPI Transfer are enabled by default. You can choose to disable either as needed.

    • Enable Bank Transfer (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS) to create a Customer Identifier.

    • Enable UPI Transfer to create a virtual UPI ID.

      • Create custom UPI ID - Enter a custom identifier for the customer in the UPI ID field (12 characters of letters and numbers, e.g. gauravkumar1). If left blank, the UPI ID will be auto-generated.

      Handy Tips

      An individual cannot modify the structure (prefix and descriptor) of the UPI ID.

  4. Select Customer from the drop-down list. You can also create a new customer on-the-fly. You may skip this step and proceed with creation, if you do not wish to tag it to a specific customer. However, you cannot modify the Customer Identifier and tag it to the customer later.

  5. Click View Advance Options.

  6. Complete these steps to add account details for the Third Party Validation:

    1. Select the Bank Transfers (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS) checkbox to create Customer Identifier details with TPV for bank transfers.
