Payments

Capture and fetch Payments using Razorpay APIs.

You can accept payments from your customers by integrating your website or app with Razorpay Payment Gateway or using Razorpay products such as Payment Links, Payment Pages, Subscription Links, Invoices and Smart Collect.

If you want to directly integrate with our APIs, reach out to our Support team with your requirements.

You can try out our APIs on the Razorpay Postman Public Workspace.

Capture a Payment🔗

After the customer's bank authorises the payment, you must verify if the authorised amount deducted from the customer's account is the same as the amount paid by the customer on your website or app.

You can configure automatic capture of payments on the Razorpay Dashboard.

To change the status of the payment from authorized to captured, send the following request:

/payments/:id/capture

Path Parameter🔗

id mandatory
string Unique identifier of the payment to be captured.

Request Parameters🔗

amount mandatory
string The amount to be captured (should be equal to the authorized amount, in the smallest unit of the chosen currency).
currency mandatory
string ISO code of the currency in which the payment was made. Refer to the list of supported currencies.

After the payment capture, the funds are transferred to your account in T+2 days in case of domestic transaction. For international transactions, the time taken is T+7 business days. The amount sent in the capture request must come from a verified source and be the amount that you are expecting to receive.

Recommendation
While creating a capture request, in the amount field enter only the amount associated with the order that is stored in your database.

Do Not Attempt to Capture Unauthorised Payments
Attempting to capture a payment whose status is not authorized will produce an error.
