1. Build Integration

Follow the steps given below:
There are two methods to install our WooCommerce plugin:
  1. Download the plugin.
  2. Install it from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
Before you start:
  • Ensure you have created a Razorpay account and your KYC is approved.
  • You must have activated your business after the business activation email from Razorpay.
  • You have generated the API keys from the Dashboard (Under Account & Settings → API Keys).
To configure WooCommerce:
  1. Log in to your WordPress account and activate the Razorpay plugin in the WordPress Plugin Manager.
  2. Log in to your WooCommerce account, navigate to Settings and click the Checkout/Payment Gateways tab.
  3. Click Razorpay to edit the settings.
  4. Enable the Payment Method, name it Credit Card/Debit Card/FPX. This is shown on the Payment page your customer sees.
Handy TipsIf you cannot see the Razorpay payment option during WooCommerce checkout, update the plugin to the latest version.Payments option error
  1. Add in your [KEY_ID] and [KEY_SECRET] generated from the Razorpay Dashboard.
  2. Set the Payment Action to Authorize and Capture to auto-capture payments. If you want to capture payments manually from the Dashboard after manual verification, set the Payment Method to Authorize.
Watch Out: Uncaptured payments are automatically refunded after 5 daysIf you set Payment Action to Authorize, payments are held but not settled. Any payment that is not captured within 5 days of authorisation is automatically refunded to the customer — the merchant receives nothing.To prevent this, set Payment Action to Authorize and Capture for automatic capture, or manually capture payments from the Dashboard before the 5-day window closes. Review your capture settings in Dashboard → Account & Settings → Payment Capture.
Configure WebhooksWebhook is auto-configured when you enter and save the API key ID and secret on the plugin settings page. You need to verify if webhooks are enabled on your Razorpay Dashboard. However, for versions lower than 3.5.0, you need to configure webhooks manually.If you regenerate your API keys, re-enter and save the new keys in the plugin settings page to re-trigger webhook auto-configuration.
The following webhook events are auto-configured when you save your API keys:
  • payment.authorized
  • payment.captured
  • payment.failed
  • order.paid
Verify these are enabled in your Razorpay Dashboard under Account & Settings → Webhooks.

​
2. Test Integration

After the integration is complete, a Pay button will appear on your web page/app. You need to click the button and make a test transaction to ensure that the integration is working as expected. You can start accepting actual payments from your customers once the test is successful. You can make test payments using one of the payment methods configured at the Checkout.
  • No money is deducted from the customer’s account as this is a simulated transaction.
  • Ensure you have entered the API keys generated in the test mode in the Checkout code.

3. Go-live Checklist

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.

  • 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.
