Customer Identifiers can be created via batch. This may be necessary when you have a large number of customers to be onboarded simultaneously, and using the API would be unfeasible. Batch creation allows you to place all the information related to customer and Customer Identifier creation in a single file, ready for upload.
- Create a CSV, XLS or XLSX file containing all the required data to create Customer Identifiers. The format and sample row data are given in the following sections.
- Raise a request to process the file on the as an existing customer. Also share the 14-character Razorpay merchant Id in email body.
- Once we process the file on our side, we will share the same file with you with a few new columns appended per row. For every row, the status column will mention whether the Customer Identifier is active or not.
- If the process is a success, the row will contain the Razorpay Customer ID, the Customer Identifier ID (a newly created Customer Identifier) and associated bank account details.
- If there is a failure, subsequent columns will have an error description.
You may use this data for various operations on your end. All this information would also be available on your Dashboard as well as via API.
For rows that were not processed due to errors, create a new file with data corrected as per the error description. Send us the file again for processing. Do not include the error column in the new file.
- Provided file must be a valid CSV/XLS/XLSX
- Every row should contain values per the following format:
ID of an existing Razorpay customer. Can be used if it is not required to create a new customer.
Name of the customer. Can be used if a new customer is required to be created. Max length: 50
