Create Authorization Transaction

1. Create the Authorisation Transaction

Create an authorisation transaction with NACH as a payment method.

The flow to complete an authorisation transaction using paper NACH differs from the other payment method's flow.

  1. Create a customer.
  2. Create an order by passing the customer_id and the method as nach. Razorpay generates a NACH form with the customer information pre-filled and ready to sign.
  3. The customer can get the form in one of the following ways to sign it:
    • You can download the form from the Dashboard and send it to the customer.
    • A customer can download the form from the Hosted page (in the case of registration links).
  4. The signed form can be uploaded in one of the following ways:
    • Using the Standard Checkout page.
    • Hosted page (in the case of registration links).
    • The customer can send you the form and you can upload the form for the customer. The acceptable image formats and size are:
      • jpeg
      • jpg
      • png
      • Maximum accepted size is 6 MB.

Once the details are validated, the authorisation transaction is completed, and a token is generated. You can charge your customer as per your business model after the token status changes to confirmed.

You can create an authorisation transaction:
