  2. Download the latest Source code zip file from the releases section. Unzip the repository.
  3. Run the install.razorpay.sql file, which can be found inside the unzipped package, against your CS-Cart database. To do this, you can either:
    • Use phpMyAdmin to import the file into your CS-Cart database.
    • Copy and paste the content and run it directly in your MySQL shell.
  4. Upload the rest of the plugin’s contents to your CS-Cart Installation directory.
    1. The app folder’s content goes into your CS-Cart Installation directory.

  2. Navigate to Administration → Payment Methods.
  3. Add a new payment method.
  4. Select Razorpay from the list and then click Save. Select cc_outside.tpl for the template.
  5. Navigate to the Configure tab.
  6. Add your [KEY_ID] and [KEY_SECRET] generated from the Razorpay Dashboard.
Handy TipsWebhook is auto-configured when you enter and save the API key ID and secret on the plugin settings page. You need to verify that webhooks are enabled on your Razorpay Dashboard. However, for versions lower than 1.4.0, you need to manually configure webhooks.

3. Go-live Checklist

Follow these steps before taking the integration live:
Perform an end-to-end simulation of funds flow in the Test Mode. Once confident that the integration is working as expected, switch to the Live Mode and start accepting payments from customers.
Watch Out!Ensure you are switching your test API keys with API keys generated in Live Mode.
To generate API Keys in Live Mode on your Razorpay Dashboard:
  1. Log in to the Razorpay Dashboard and switch to Live Mode on the menu.
  2. Navigate to Account & Settings → API Keys → Generate Key to generate the API Key for Live Mode.
  3. Download the keys and save them securely.
  4. Replace the Test API Key with the Live Key in the Checkout code and start accepting actual payments.

After payment is authorized, you need to capture it to settle the amount to your bank account as per the settlement schedule. Payments that are not captured are auto-refunded after a fixed time.
Watch Out
  • You should deliver the products or services to your customers only after the payment is captured. Razorpay automatically refunds all the uncaptured payments.
  • You can track the payment status using our Fetch a Payment API or webhooks.
Authorized payments can be automatically captured. You can auto-capture all payments using global settings on the Razorpay Dashboard. Know more about capture settings for payments.
Watch Out!Payment capture settings work only if you have integrated with Orders API on your server side. Know more about the Orders API.
