Watch Out!Do not hardcode the URL returned in the API responses.

1.1 Create an Order

Order is an important step in the payment process.
  • An order should be created for every payment.
  • You can create an order using the Orders API. It is a server-side API call. Know how to authenticate Orders API.
  • The order_id received in the response should be passed to the checkout. This ties the order with the payment and secures the request from being tampered.
Watch Out!Payments made without an order_id cannot be captured and will be automatically refunded. You must create an order before initiating payments to ensure proper payment processing.You can create an order:
  • Using the sample code on the Razorpay Postman Public Workspace.
  • By manually integrating the API sample codes on your server.

Razorpay Postman Public Workspace

You can use the Postman workspace below to create an order:
Handy Tips
Under the Authorization section in Postman, select Basic Auth and add the Key Id and secret as the Username and Password, respectively.

API Sample Code

Use this endpoint to create an order using the Orders API./orders

Request Parameters

amount mandatory : integer Payment amount in the smallest currency subunit. For example, if the amount to be charged is 299, then pass 29900 in this field. In the case of three decimal currencies, such as KWD, BHD and OMR, to accept a payment of 295.991, pass the value as 295990. And in the case of zero decimal currencies such as JPY, to accept a payment of 295, pass the value as 295.
Watch Out!As per payment guidelines, you should pass the last decimal number as 0 for three decimal currency payments. For example, if you want to charge a customer 99.991 KD for a transaction, you should pass the value for the amount parameter as 99990 and not 99991.currency mandatory : string The currency in which the transaction should be made. See the list of supported currencies. Length must be 3 characters.
Handy Tips
Razorpay has added support for zero decimal currencies, such as JPY and three decimal currencies, such as KWD, BHD and OMR, allowing businesses to accept international payments in these currencies. Know more about Currency Conversion (May 2024).receipt optional : string Your receipt id for this order should be passed here. Maximum length is 40 characters.notes optional : json object Key-value pair that can be used to store additional information about the entity. Maximum 15 key-value pairs, 256 characters (maximum) each. For example, "note_key": "Beam me up Scotty”.partial_payment optional : boolean Indicates whether the customer can make a partial payment. Possible values:
  • true: The customer can make partial payments.
  • false (default): The customer cannot make partial payments.
first_payment_min_amount optional : integer Minimum amount that must be paid by the customer as the first partial payment. For example, if an amount of 7000 is to be received from the customer in two installments of #1 - 5000, #2 - 2000 then you can set this value as 500000. This parameter should be passed only if partial_payment is true.Know more about Orders API.

Response Parameters

Descriptions for the response parameters are present in the Orders Entity parameters table.

Error Response Parameters

The error response parameters are available in the API Reference Guide.

1.2 Create a Payment

Once an order is created, your next step is to create a payment. The following API will create a upi payment with intent flow: /payments/create/json
Curl
The next array contains the following objects: action : string In this case the value is intent. url : string Contains the URL that the customer should be redirected to a mobile app. This is commonly done by rendering the URL returned by Razorpay in the form of a button or a link for the customer to use. action : string The action that you need to take to fetch the status of the payment. In this case the value is poll. url : string Contains the URL that you must poll to fetch the status of the payment, either authorized or failed.

1.3 Handle Payment Success and Error Events

Once the payment is completed by the customer, a POST request is made to the callback_url provided in the payment request. The data contained in this request will depend on whether the payment was a success or a failure.

Success Callback

If the payment made by the customer is successful, the following fields are sent:
  • razorpay_payment_id
  • razorpay_order_id
  • razorpay_signature
Callback Example

Failure Callback

If the payment has failed, the callback will contain details of the error. Refer to Errors for details.

1.4 Verify Payment Signature

Signature verification is a mandatory step to ensure that the callback is sent by Razorpay. The razorpay_signature contained in the callback can be regenerated by your system and verified as follows. Create a string to be hashed using the razorpay_payment_id contained in the callback and the Order ID generated in the first step, separated by a |. Hash this string using SHA256 and your API Secret.

Generate Signature on your Server

1.5 Integrate Payments Rainy Day Kit

Use Payments Rainy Day kit to overcome payments exceptions such as:

1.6 Verify Payment Status

Handy Tips
On 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 TransactionsPayments.
  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.
