1. Create an Authorization Transaction๐
Authorization transaction + auto-charge first payment:
You can register a customer's mandate AND charge them the first recurring payment as part of the same transaction. To do this all you have to do is pass the first_payment_amount parameter while creating the order.
You can create an authorization transaction:
- Using the Razorpay Standard Checkout.
- Using a Registration Link.
1.1. Using Razorpay Standard Checkout๐
To create an authorization transaction using the Razorpay Standard Checkout, you need to:
1.1.1. Create a Customer๐
Razorpay links recurring tokens to customers via a unique identifier. This unique identifier for the customer is generated using the Customer API.
You can create customers with basic details such as email and contact and use them for various Razorpay offerings. Know more about Customers.
You can create a customer using the below endpoint.
Once a customer is created, you can create an order for the authorization of the payment.
Request Parameters๐
namemandatorystringThe customer's name. For example,Gaurav Kumar.emailoptionalstringThe customer's email address. For example,gaurav.kumar@example.com.contactoptionalstringThe customer's phone number. For example,9876543210.fail_existingoptionalstringIf a customer with the same details already exists, the request throws an exception by default. You can pass an additional parameterfail_existingto get the details of the existing customer in the response. Possible values:0- fetch details of existing customer1- throw the exception error (default)
notesoptionalobjectKey-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 Scottyโ.
1.1.2. Create an Order๐
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 authorization payment at your end. Know more about Razorpay Orders.

You can create a payment against the order_id once an order is created.

1.2. Using a Registration Link๐
Registration Links are an alternate way of creating an authorization transaction. If you create a registration link, you need not create a customer or an order.
When you create a registration link, an invoice is automatically issued to the customer. The customer can use the invoice to make the Authorization Payment.
