Create a Standard Payment Link

Use this endpoint to create a Payment Link using basic details such as amount, expiry date, reference id, description, customer details and so on.

Basic Payment Links

These are regular Payment Links, which are not customised.

Customised Payment Links

You can customise Payment Links as per your business requirements.

Handy Tips

As per Razorpay’s updated security policy, even if the customer’s email address and phone number are provided while creating the Payment Link, these details are not auto-populated on the Checkout section of the Payment Link hosted page. The customer will have to enter these details manually while making the payment.

After successful completion of the payment, customers can be redirected to a specific URL using the callback_url and callback_method parameters. Know more about how to use these paramaters.
Verify the razorpay_signature parameter to validate that it is authentic and sent from Razorpay servers. Know more about how to Verify Signature.
