MOTO Payments

Accept MOTO (Mail-Order-Telephone-Order) payments to charge a customer's credit card without card CVV data and 2-factor-authentication.


With Razorpay, you can use MOTO (Mail-Order-Telephone-Order) transactions to charge a customer's credit card without using the CVV or 2-factor-authentication. You can extend this flow to your customers to reduce payment failures that may occur due to low internet speeds or redirects to bank pages.

Feature Request
This is an on-demand feature. Please raise a request with our Support team to get this feature activated on your Razorpay account.


PCI-DSS Compliance
You must be PCI-compliant to accept and process customer's card details using the MOTO option. The compliance certificate should be updated as per the yearly renewal cycle.

Step 1: Create an Order🔗

Order creation is the first step to integrate your application with Razorpay and start accepting payments. Orders API allows you to create an Order when a payment is expected from a customer.

Ensure the razorpay_order_id is stored against the corresponding transaction. The API endpoint given below will create an Order at your server-side:

/orders

Order is an important step in the payment process.

  • An order should be created for every payment.
  • You can create an order using the Orders API. It is a server-side API call.
  • The order_id received in the response should be passed to the checkout. This ties the Order with the payment and secures the request from being tampered.

API Sample Code🔗

The following is a sample API request and response for creating an order:

Copycurl -X POST https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders -u [YOUR_KEY_ID]:[YOUR_KEY_SECRET] -H 'content-type:application/json' -d '{ "amount": 50000, "currency": "INR", "receipt": "rcptid_11" }'
Copytry { JSONObject orderRequest = new JSONObject(); orderRequest.put("amount", 50000); // amount in the smallest currency unit orderRequest.put("currency", "INR"); orderRequest.put("receipt", "order_rcptid_11"); Order order = razorpay.Orders.create(orderRequest); } catch (RazorpayException e) { // Handle Exception System.out.println(e.getMessage()); }
Copyimport razorpay client = razorpay.Client(auth=("api_key", "api_secret")) DATA = { "amount": 100, "currency": "INR", "receipt": "receipt#1", "notes": { "key1": "value3", "key2": "value2" } } client.order.create(data=DATA)
Copy$order = $client->order->create([ 'receipt' => 'order_rcptid_11', 'amount' => 50000, // amount in the smallest currency unit 'currency' => 'INR'// <a href="/docs/international-payments/#supported-currencies" target="_blank">See the list of supported currencies</a>.) ]);
CopyDictionary<string, object> options = new Dictionary<string,object>(); options.Add("amount", 50000); // amount in the smallest currency unit options.add("receipt", "order_rcptid_11"); options.add("currency", "INR"); Order order = client.Order.Create(options);
Copyoptions = amount: 50000, currency: 'INR', receipt: '<order_rcptid_11>' order = Razorpay::Order.create
Copyvar options = { amount: 50000, // amount in the smallest currency unit currency: "INR", receipt: "order_rcptid_11" }; instance.orders.create(options, function(err, order) { console.log(order); });
Copy{ "id": "order_DBJOWzybf0sJbb", "entity": "order", "amount": 50000, "amount_paid": 0, "amount_due": 50000, "currency": "INR", "receipt": "rcptid_11", "status": "created", "attempts": 0, "notes": [], "created_at": 1566986570 }
