Once they are deactivated, the payment button should work properly.

Verify Payment Status

Handy TipsOn the Razorpay Dashboard, ensure that the payment status is captured. Refer to the payment capture settings page to know how to capture payments automatically.You can track the payment status in three ways:To verify the payment status from the Razorpay Dashboard:
  1. Log in to the Razorpay Dashboard and navigate to Transactions → Payments.
  2. Check if a Payment Id has been generated and note the status. In case of a successful payment, the status is marked as Captured.
You can use Razorpay webhooks to configure and receive notifications when a specific event occurs. When one of these events is triggered, we send an HTTP POST payload in JSON to the webhook’s configured URL. Know how to set up webhooks.

​
Example

If you have subscribed to the order.paid webhook event, you will receive a notification every time a customer pays you for an order.Poll Payment APIs to check the payment status.

​
3. Go-live Checklist

Follow these steps before taking the integration live:

​
3.1 Accept Live Payments

Watch Out!Ensure you are switching your test API keys with API keys generated in Live Mode.To generate API Keys in Live Mode on your Razorpay Dashboard:
  1. Log in to the Razorpay Dashboard and switch to Live Mode on the menu.
  2. Navigate to Account & Settings → API Keys → Generate Key to generate the API Key for Live Mode.
  3. Download the keys and save them securely.
  4. Replace the Test API Key with the Live Key in the Checkout code and start accepting actual payments.

​
3.2 Payment Capture

After payment is authorized, you need to capture it to settle the amount to your bank account as per the settlement schedule. Payments that are not captured are auto-refunded after a fixed time.
Watch Out
  • You should deliver the products or services to your customers only after the payment is captured. Razorpay automatically refunds all the uncaptured payments.
  • You can track the payment status using our Fetch a Payment API or webhooks. Authorized payments can be automatically captured. You can auto-capture all payments using global settings on the Razorpay Dashboard. Know more about capture settings for payments.
Watch Out!Payment capture settings work only if you have integrated with Orders API on your server side. Know more about the Orders API.Each authorized payment can also be captured individually. You can manually capture payments using Payment Capture API or Dashboard. Know more about capture settings for payments.
