# Recurring Payments APIs for UPI

> You can use the Recurring Payments APIs to perform various actions using UPI as a payment method.

## API-wise Integration Checklist for UPI

### UPI Registration using Standard Checkout

* We recommend that you create a single customer id rather than multiple customer ids for the same customer. If their details change, you can use the [Edit Customer Details](/api/customers#edit-customer-details) API. Duplicate validation is done based on email ID and phone number.
* Use the `fail_existing : "1"` parameter so that the [API](/api/payments/recurring-payments/upi/create-authorization-transaction) returns the same details of the customer created earlier. If the `fail_existing : "0"` is used, the API throws an error and does not fetch the customer id previously created. This can help in the end-user journey experience if a customer is signing up despite having signed up earlier.
* Use the [Payments Downtime](/api/payments/downtime) API to check for any ongoing downtimes that may impact the UPI Recurring.
* Ensure you pass all the token parameters while [creating an Order](/api/payments/recurring-payments/upi/create-authorization-transaction#112-create-an-order) for the authorisation transaction using the Standard Checkout method.
* Ensure you pass the value of the `recurring` parameter as `1` in the [Create an Authorisation Payment](/api/payments/recurring-payments/upi/create-authorization-transaction#113-create-an-authorization-payment) API. If not passed, it would be considered a one-time payment. Once the authorisation payment is made, we request you verify the payment signature at your backend.
* To check the status of the token ID use the [Fetch Token](/api/payments/recurring-payments/upi/tokens) API.
* Enable webhooks to check the status of the [token](/api/payments/recurring-payments/webhooks#check-token-status-using-webhooks) and [payments](/api/payments/recurring-payments/webhooks#check-payment-status-using-webhooks) and the [registration link](/api/payments/recurring-payments/webhooks#check-registration-link-status-using-webhooks). Use this only if your business is using it in a non-critical way. In critical scenarios, we recommend that you [fetch](/api/payments/recurring-payments/emandate/tokens) APIs.
* A pre-debit notification is sent before the payment is deducted by the issuing bank. It is recommended that you check the presentment time in the [FAQ](/payments/recurring-payments/upi/faqs) document before proceeding with the recurring payments.

### UPI Registration using a Registration Link

* Ensure to pass the below parameters while creating a registration link using the API:
  1. Customer details such as `name`, `email` and `contact`.
  2. `sms_notify` and `email_notify` as `true` to send notifications to customers.
  3. `amount` as `0` and `type` as `link`.
  4. `description` of the link.
  5. `subscription_registration` details such as:
     * `method` as `upi`
     * `max_amount` as `500`
     * `frequency` as `monthly` or `as_presented`

### Create Subsequent Payments

* Ensure the `token_id` passed is for the linked `customer_id` while creating a recurring payment.
* Use [webhook](/payments/recurring-payments/subscribe-to-webhooks) to get real-time updates of payment.
