3.2. Create a Recurring Payment

Once you have generated an order_id, use it with the token_id to create a payment and charge the customer. The following endpoint creates a payment to charge the customer. /payments/create/recurring
  • For UPI, it may take between 24-36 hours for the subsequent payment to reflect on your Dashboard.
  • This is because of the failure of pre-debit notification and/or any retries that we attempt for the payment.
  • Do not create another subsequent payment until you get the status of the previous one. For UPI, do not create subsequent payments on the last day of the cycle. This will cause the payment to fail.
