# Charge Customers During Registration - Use Cases and Payment Methods

> If you are using the existing emandate flow, you can only charge the customer after they complete the authorisation transaction and the token is confirmed. This means, you need to wait a few days before you can charge the customer. If the mandate registration fails, you have to start the process again, causing further delays. This may lead to a delay in onboarding the customer impacting your business.

You can use this feature where you can charge any amount to your customer as part of the authorisation transaction. The customer is charged an amount immediately while initiating the mandate registration in the background. This helps you to onboard the customer immediately without waiting for the mandate to be registered.

<Info>
  **Feature Request**

  This is an on-demand feature. Please raise a request with our [Support team](https://razorpay.com/support/#request) to get this feature activated on your Razorpay account.

  to get this feature activated on your account.
</Info>

## Use Cases

Following are a couple of use cases where you can use this feature:

### Mutual Funds

When a customer starts a new Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), the investment needs to be made immediately. The customer needs to be charged as part of the mandate registered process. It is not possible to wait for a few days while the mandate is registered before charging the customer.

### Insurance

If you are an insurance provider, you need to charge the customer the first premium immediately when selling them the policy.

## Supported Banks

Currently, only **HDFC** and **ICICI** support this feature.

## Integration Steps

The integration flow here is same as that for emandate registration.

1. [Create an authorisation transaction](#1-create-an-authorization-transaction).
2. [Check token status](#2-fetch-and-manage-tokens).
3. [Create subsequent charges](#3-create-subsequent-payments).

## 1. Create an Authorisation Transaction

You can create an authorisation transaction:

* Using the [Razorpay Standard Checkout](#11-using-razorpay-standard-checkout).
* Using a [Registration Link](#12-using-a-registration-link).

### 1.1. Using Razorpay Standard Checkout

To create an authorisation transaction using the Razorpay Standard Checkout, you need to:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1">
    [Create a Customer](#111-create-a-customer).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 2">
    [Create an Order](#112-create-an-order).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 3">
    [Create Authorisation Payment using Razorpay Standard Checkout](#113-create-an-authorisation-payment).
  </Step>
</Steps>

#### 1.1.1. Create a Customer

Razorpay links recurring tokens to customers using a unique identifier generated through the Customer API.

You can create [customers](/api/customers) with basic information such as `email` and `contact` and use them for various Razorpay offerings. The following endpoint creates a customer.

/customers

### Sample Code

````cURL: Curl theme={null}

`email`
: `string` The email address of the customer. For example, `gaurav.kumar@example.com`.

`contact`
: `string` The phone number of the customer. For example, `9876543210`.

`fail_existing` *optional*
: `string` The request throws an exception by default if a customer with the exact details already exists. You can pass an additional parameter `fail_existing` to get the existing customer's details in the response. Possible values:

* `1` (default): If a customer with the same details already exists, throws an error.
* `0`: If a customer with the same details already exists, fetches details of the existing customer.

`notes` *optional*

#### 1.1.2. Create an Order

The Orders API allows you to create a unique Razorpay `order_id`, for example, `order_1Aa00000000001`, that would be tied to a payment. This `order_id` has a 1:1 mapping with the order created for the authorisation payment at your end. To learn more about Razorpay Orders, refer our detailed [Order documentation](/payments/orders).

Use the below endpoint to create an order.

/orders

You can create a payment against the `order_id` generated in the response.

#### 1.1.3. Create an Authorisation Payment

Create a payment checkout form for customers to make Authorisation Transaction and register their mandate. You can use the Handler Function or Callback URL.

## Handler Function | Callback URL

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. | When you use a Callback URL, the response object of the successful payment (`razorpay_payment_id`, `razorpay_order_id` and `razorpay_signature`) is submitted to the Callback URL.

<Warning>
  **Watch Out!**

  * The callback URL is not supported for recurring payments created using the registration link.
  * While handling the first time authorisation payment response, consume the `error_reason` field with value `upi_dummy_payment` and `error_description` field with value `Payment was a dummy payment for one time mandate registration.` to identify successful mandate registration. The parent `error_code` will be `BAD_REQUEST_ERROR`.

  `recurring` *mandatory*

### 1.2. Using a Registration Link

Registration Link is an alternate way of creating an authorisation transaction. You can create a registration link using the [API](#121-create-a-registration-link) or [Dashboard](/payments/recurring-payments/create#1-create-a-registration-link).

<Info>
  **Handy Tips**

  * You do not have to create a customer if you choose the registration link method for creating an authorisation transaction.
  * You can [use Webhooks to get notifications about successful payments](/api/payments/recurring-payments/webhooks#check-authorization-link-status-using-webhooks) against a registration link.

  When you create a registration link, an [invoice](/payments/invoices) is automatically issued to the customer. They can use this invoice to make the authorisation payment.

  Use the below endpoint to create a registration link.

##### Path Parameter

`id` *mandatory*
: `string` The unique identifier for the invoice linked to the registration link that you want to cancel. For example, `inv_1Aa00000000001`.

## 2. Fetch and Manage Tokens

Once you capture a payment, Razorpay Checkout returns a `razorpay_payment_id`. You can use this id to fetch the `token_id`, which is used to create and charge subsequent payments.

You can retrieve the `token_id` using the [Dashboard](/payments/recurring-payments/create#3-search-for-the-token) or the APIs given below.

### 2.1. Fetch Token by Payment ID

The following endpoint retrieves the `token_id` using a `payment_id`.

/payments/:id

````cURL: Curl theme={null}
curl -u [YOUR_KEY_ID]:[YOUR_KEY_SECRET] \
-X GET https://api.razorpay.com/v1/payments/pay_1Aa00000000002

instance.payments.fetch(paymentId)

```python: Python
client = razorpay.Client(auth=("YOUR_ID", "YOUR_SECRET"))

client.payment.fetch(paymentId)

## 3. Create Subsequent Payments

Following are the two steps to create and charge your customer a subsequent payment:

You should perform the following steps to create and charge your customer subsequent payments:

1. [Create an order to charge the customer](#31-create-an-order-to-charge-the-customer)
2. [Create a recurring payment](#32-create-a-recurring-payment)

### 3.1. Create an Order to Charge the Customer

You have to create a new order every time you want to charge your customers. This order is different from the one created during the authorisation transaction.

The following endpoint creates an order.

#### Request Parameters

`amount` *mandatory*
: `integer` Amount in currency subunits.

`currency` *mandatory*
: `string` The 3-letter ISO currency code for the payment.

`receipt` *optional*
: `string` A user-entered unique identifier for the order. For example, `Receipt No. 1`. You should map this parameter to the `order_id` sent by Razorpay.

`notes` *optional*
: `object` Key-value pair you can use to store additional information about the entity. Maximum of 15 key-value pairs, 256 characters each. For example, `"note_key": "Beam me up Scotty”`.

`payment_capture` *mandatory*
: `boolean` Determines whether the payment status should be changed to `captured` automatically or not. Possible values:

* `true`: Payments are captured automatically.
* `false`: Payments are not captured automatically. You can manually capture payments using the [Manually Capture Payments API](/api/payments#capture-a-payment).

### 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.
