3. Create Subsequent Payments

You should perform the following 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 during the authorisation transaction.

Handy Tips

You can use the notification object in the request if you want to control pre-debit notifications and recurring debits.

The following endpoint creates an order.

/orders

Request Parameters

amount mandatory : integer Amount in currency subunits. For cards, the minimum value is 100, that is, 1.

currency mandatory : string The 3-letter ISO currency code for the payment.

receipt optional : string A user-entered unique identifier for the order. For example, Receipt No. 1. You should map this parameter to the order_id sent by Razorpay.

notification : object Details of the pre-debit notification. This object is optional. You should use it only if you want to control pre-debit notifications and debits. If you do not pass this object, we will automatically try to debit after 36 hours and 5 minutes.

Handy Tips

The TAT to create a debit if you send a pre-debit notification is 36 hours and 5 minutes.

Watch Out!

We will not attempt any retry if the debit fails for tokens with the notification object in the created order. You should manually retry the debit attempt.

token_id mandatory : string The token_id generated when the customer successfully completes the authorisation payment. Different payment instruments for the same customer have different token_id.

payment_after optional : integer UNIX timestamp post which the debit is supposed to happen. Defaults to 36 hours and 5 minutes after the pre-debit notification is delivered.

notes optional : object Key-value pair you can use to store additional information about the entity. Maximum of 15 key-value pairs, 256 characters each. For example, "note_key": "Beam me up Scotty”.

payment_capture mandatory : boolean Determines whether the payment status should be changed to captured automatically or not. Possible values:

• true: Payments are captured automatically.
• false: Payments are not captured automatically. You can manually capture payments using the Manually Capture Payments API.

Response Parameters

id : string A unique identifier of the order created. For example order_1Aa00000000001.

entity : string The entity that has been created. Here it is order.

amount : integer Amount in currency subunits.

amount_paid : integer The amount that has been paid.

amount_due : integer The amount that is yet to be paid.

currency : string The 3-letter ISO currency code for the payment.

receipt : string A user-entered unique identifier of the order. For example, rcptid #1.

notification : object Details of the pre-debit notification.

token_id : string The token_id generated when the customer successfully completes the authorisation payment. Different payment instruments for the same customer have different token_id.

payment_after : integer UNIX timestamp post which the debit is supposed to happen.

id : string the unique identifier of the notification. For example, notification_00000000000001.

status : string The status of the order.

notes : object Key-value pair you can use to store additional information about the entity. Maximum of 15 key-value pairs, 256 characters each. For example, "note_key": "Beam me up Scotty”.

created_at : integer The Unix timestamp at which the order was created.

3.2. Create a Recurring Payment

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

/payments/create/recurring
