Recurring Payments

Cards

Create Subsequent Payments

3. Create Subsequent Payments

Create and charge subsequent payments using Razorpay APIs after the customer's selected payment method is successfully authorised.

You have to complete two steps to create and charge your customer subsequent payments:

  1. Create an order to charge the customer
  2. 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 when you created the authorization transaction.

Use the below endpoint to create an order.

/orders

Request Parameters🔗

amount mandatory

integer Amount in currency subunits. For cards, the minimum value is 100 (₹1).

currency mandatory

string The 3-letter ISO currency code for the payment. Currently, we only support INR.

customer_id mandatory

string The unique identifier of the customer.

method optional

string Payment method used to make the registration transaction. Possible value is card. If no value is passed, by default, card will be assumed.

token

Provides token details.

max_amount optional
integer Indicates the threshold value for which additional factor of authentication flow is chosen. The value 500000 (₹5000) will be set as max_amount by default.
expire_at optional
integer The timestamp of the token expiry date in UNIX format.
The card expiry date will be used as default if you do not pass the value.
Also, the response will be null if you do not pass the value during the order creation.
frequency optional
string Frequency for subsequent debits. If not provided, value defaults to as_presented.
receipt optional

string A user-entered unique identifier for the order. For example, Receipt No. 1. This parameter should be mapped to the order_id sent by Razorpay.

notes optional

string Key-value pair that can be used to store additional information about the entity. Maximum 15 key-value pairs, 256 characters (maximum) each. For example, "note_key": "Beam me up Scotty”.

3.2. Create a Recurring Payment🔗

Once you have generated an order_id, use it along with the token_id to create a payment and charge the customer.

Use the below endpoint to create a payment and charge the customer.

/payments/create/recurring

Once our system validates and successfully processes the payment request, a razorpay_payment_id is returned. In the case of some banks such as HDFC Bank and Axis Bank, the payment entity returned will be in the created state since the charge system of these banks are file-based and can take a few hours.
