1.1 Create an Order in Server

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.

API Sample Code

The following is a sample API request and response for creating an order:
Curl

Request Parameters

Here is the list of parameters and their description for creating an order:amount mandatory : integer Payment amount in the smallest currency sub-unit. 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 Currency code for the currency in which you want to accept the payment. For example, INR. Refer to the supported currencies for a list of supported international currencies.

1.3 Invoke Checkout and Pass Order Id and Other Options to it

1.3.1 Include JavaScript code in your Webpage

Include the following script, preferably in the “ section of your page:
Index HTML
Handy Tips
  • Include the script from https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/razorpay.js instead of serving a copy from your server. This allows the library’s new updates and bug fixes to fit your application automatically.
  • We always maintain backward compatibility with our code.

1.3.2 Instantiate Custom Checkout

  • Single Instance on a Page:
    Invoke a Single Instance
  • Multiple Instances on Same Page: If you need multiple Razorpay instances on the same page, you can globally set some of the options:
    Invoke Multiple Instances
Customer Fee Bearer (CFB) RequirementsFor card payments with CFB enabled, set redirect: true and include callback_url during Razorpay instantiation.

Checkout Options

While building a custom UI for accepting payments from your customers, you should be familiar with the fields supported in the razorpay.js script.key mandatory : string API Key ID generated from DashboardAccount & SettingsAPI Keys.amount mandatory : integer Payment amount in the smallest currency sub-unit.

  • CVV is optional for tokenised card payments. Do not pass dummy CVV values.
  • To implement this change, skip passing the cvv parameter entirely, or pass a null or empty value in the CVV field.
  • We recommend removing the CVV field from your checkout UI/UX for tokenised cards.
  • If CVV is still collected for tokenised cards and the customer enters a CVV, pass the entered CVV value to Razorpay. emi_duration : integer Defines the number of months in the EMI plan.

1.3.3 Submit Payment Details

After creating an order and obtaining the customer’s payment details, send the information to Razorpay to complete the payment. The data that needs to be submitted depends on the customer’s payment method. You can do this by invoking createPayment method. Know more about sample codes for various payment methods.
createPayment with handler function
Watch Out!The createPayment method should be called within an event listener triggered by user action to prevent the popup from being blocked. For example:
Handy Tips
  • Handler Function
When you use the handler function, the response object of the successful payment (razorpay_payment_id, razorpay_order_id and razorpay_signature) is submitted to the Checkout Form. You need to collect these and send them to your server.
  • Callback URL
When you use a callback URL, Razorpay makes a post call to the callback URL, with the razorpay_payment_id, razorpay_order_id and razorpay_signature in the response object of the successful payment (razorpay_payment_id and razorpay_order_id).

1.4 Store Fields in Your Server

A successful payment returns the following fields to the Checkout form.

Success Callback

  • You need to store these fields in your server.
  • You can confirm the authenticity of these details by verifying the signature in the next step.
Success Callback
razorpay_payment_id : string Unique identifier for the payment returned by Checkout only for successful payments. razorpay_order_id : string Unique identifier for the order returned by Checkout. razorpay_signature : string Signature returned by the Checkout. This is used to verify the payment.

Failure Response

A failed payment returns an error response.
Sample Error Response
Know more about Error Codes.

1.5 Verify Payment Signature

This is a mandatory step to confirm the authenticity of the details returned to the Checkout form for successful payments.

To verify the razorpay_signature returned to you by the Checkout form:

  1. Create a signature in your server using the following attributes:
    • order_id: Retrieve the order_id from your server. Do not use the razorpay_order_id returned by Checkout.
    • razorpay_payment_id: Returned by Checkout.
    • key_secret: Available in your server. The key_secret that was generated from the Dashboard.
  2. Use the SHA256 algorithm, the razorpay_payment_id and the order_id to construct a HMAC hex digest as shown below:
    HMAC Hex Digest
  3. If the signature you generate on your server matches the razorpay_signature returned to you by the Checkout form, the payment received is from an authentic source.

Generate Signature on Your Server

Given below is the sample code for payment signature verification:
Java

Post Signature Verification

After you have completed the integration, you can set up webhooks, make test payments, replace the test key with the live key and integrate with other APIs.

1.6 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 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.
