Integrating Razorpay into Your E-Commerce Store: A Complete Guide

Why Razorpay?

Razorpay is India's most developer-friendly payment gateway. It supports UPI, Net Banking, Credit/Debit cards, EMI, and digital wallets — covering virtually every way an Indian customer wants to pay.

How the Integration Works

  1. Create an Order — your server calls Razorpay's API to create an order object with the amount and currency.
  2. Open Checkout — your frontend loads the Razorpay checkout popup using the order ID.
  3. Verify Payment — your server verifies the HMAC signature to confirm it's genuine.
Always create orders server-side — never trust the client to set the amount.

Payment Verification (Critical!)

After the user pays, Razorpay calls your handler with razorpay_order_id, razorpay_payment_id, and razorpay_signature. Always verify the signature on your server using HMAC-SHA256. Never trust client-side confirmation alone.

Webhooks

Set up webhooks to handle async events like payment failures, refunds, and disputes. This ensures your orders stay in sync even if a user closes the browser mid-payment.

Going Live

  • Switch from rzp_test_ keys to rzp_live_ keys
  • Complete KYC on the Razorpay dashboard
  • Test with small live transactions before full launch
