As AI changes how software is built, this integration ensures that the products developers create can start earning from day one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How it works \u2192 From Idea to Payment in a Single Prompt<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By enabling the Razorpay MCP integration, developers can instruct Codex by describing the product they want to build and how they want to charge for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a developer could say,<\/span><b><i> \u201cBuild me an AI-powered fitness coaching app and help me collect payments from my users via Razorpay,\u201d <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">into Codex, which will generate an app and automatically set up Razorpay\u2019s payment gateway to handle payments (checkout flows and payment collection automatically).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For student builders, solo founders, and early-stage startups, this removes one of the biggest hurdles to launching a product &#8211; that is, setting up payments. Builders can now go from <\/span><b>idea to product to revenue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without complex setup or building any payment infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Managing Payments with AI &#8211; Inside ChatGPT<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond Razorpay\u2019s collaboration with OpenAI on Codex, Razorpay is also bringing payments management directly into <\/span><b>ChatGPT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Businesses can install Razorpay\u2019s App from the ChatGPT app directory and manage payments, etc., simply by asking questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a business could ask the system to match payments with their bank statement, check refund status, or track settlements &#8211; all through a simple conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIndia is entering a moment where anyone with an idea can build a product in hours with AI,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said <\/span><b>Shashank Kumar, Co-founder and MD of Razorpay.<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut the real shift happens when those ideas can become businesses instantly. Our vision is simple: if AI makes it effortless to build, Razorpay should make it effortless to earn. By bringing Razorpay directly into Codex, we\u2019re paving the way, i.e., the moment a developer creates something valuable, they can start charging for it right away. The next generation of startups won\u2019t begin with funding or infrastructure &#8211; they\u2019ll begin with a prompt. And when that prompt turns into a product, Razorpay will be there to power the transaction behind it.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Oliver Jay, Managing Director, International, OpenAI, said, <\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCodex is helping developers turn prompts into working software in minutes, and we\u2019re seeing strong growth in adoption in India. In February, weekly users for the tool increased by 4x in just two weeks. Integrating Razorpay directly into Codex means builders can now go from idea to product to revenue in a single workflow, and we\u2019re excited to see how this will impact the builder community.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Building the Future of AI Commerce<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This launch builds on Razorpay\u2019s broader vision to power the next generation of AI-driven commerce.
