How to get Razorpay payment gateway
To get the Razorpay payment gateway, sign up on the Razorpay website, complete KYC for your business, generate API keys, and integrate the gateway into your website or app.
- Create an account: Click Sign Up on the Razorpay website, enter your email address or phone number, and confirm it with the OTP you receive.
- Choose a business type: Select the category that fits, for example individual, sole proprietorship, or private limited company.
- Add business details: Provide your website or app URL, PAN, and bank account information.
- Complete KYC: Upload the requested KYC documents so Razorpay can verify the business for live transactions.
- Generate API keys: In the Razorpay Dashboard, open Settings or the Accept Payments section, choose API Keys, and generate a test or live key to get a Key ID and Key Secret.
- Integrate the gateway: Use a Razorpay plugin for Shopify, WooCommerce, or WordPress, or connect a custom app through the API, and enter your Key ID and Key Secret in the settings.
- Test, then go live: Run a transaction in Test Mode to confirm the integration works before switching to live keys to accept real payments.
These onboarding steps cover Razorpay itself; businesses looking at Razorpay alternatives for international payments will find that each provider runs its own signup and verification process.
