  **Handy Tips**

  Unlike integrating recurring payments from APIs, you do not have to create the order or the customer separately while integrating from the Dashboard. The customer will be added when creating a registration link and an order will be created when the customer makes the authentication payment.
</Info>

## 1. Create a Registration Link

To create a registration link:

1. Log in to the Dashboard.
2. Under **PAYMENT PRODUCTS**, navigate to **Subscription** → **Registration Links**.
3. Click **+Create New Link** and follow the on-screen instructions.

The registration link is sent to the customer. Once a customer successfully makes the authorisation payment, you need to wait for the payment to reach the `captured` state.

<Info>
  **Create Registration Links via APIs**

  You can create registration links using APIs. Refer to the [API section](/docs/api/payments/recurring-payments) for more details.
</Info>

### Registration Link Fields

The below table lists and gives a brief description of the various fields available when creating a registration link from the Dashboard.

`Description` *mandatory*
: A brief description of the registration link.

`Customer Name` *optional*
: Name of the customer. If you have already created a customer via APIs, you must enter the same Customer Name here.

`Customer Contact` *mandatory*
: Phone number and email address of the customer. If you have already created a customer via APIs, you must enter the same email address and phone number here.

`Notify` *optional*
: There are two ways in which you can send notifications:

* **SMS**
* **Email**

`Receipt No.` *optional*
: A user-entered unique identifier for the order. For example, `Receipt No. 1`. This parameter should be mapped to the `order_id` sent by Razorpay.

`Registration Link Expiry` *optional*
: The expiry date of the link. Defaults to **No Expire**.

`Payment Method` *mandatory*
: The payment method to make the authentication payment. Available options:

* Card

`Card`
: Details to be filled when you select **Card** as the payment method.

`Amount` *mandatory*
: The payment amount. For **Card**, the minimum amount is RM 0.10.

## 2. View the Payment Status

When an authorisation payment is `created`, the corresponding `payment_id` appears on the list of created payments along with an `order_id`.

To view the status of a recurring payment:

1. Log in to the Dashboard.
2. Under **PAYMENT PRODUCTS**, navigate to **Subscription** → **Payments**. You can view the payment status on the screen. Click a `payment_id` to view details of the payment.

## 3. Search for the Token

Tokens are not returned as part of the checkout response. However, you can view them on the Dashboard. You can also view the details of the token using APIs or Webhooks.

To search for a token:

1. Log in to the Dashboard.
2. Under **PAYMENT PRODUCTS**, navigate to **Subscriptions** → **Tokens**.
3. Search for the Token using the `token_id`.

## 4. Charge the Token

After your customer successfully makes an authorisation transaction, a payment is created and moved to the `authorized` state. A token is generated and is in the `initiated` state. After the payment moves to the `captured` state, the token next moves to the `confirmed` state. Once the token is `confirmed`, you can charge the token.

To charge a Token:

1. Log in to the Dashboard.
2. Under **PAYMENT PRODUCTS**, navigate to **Subscriptions** → **Tokens**.
3. Search for the token using the `token_id`.
4. Click on the `token_id` to open the details page.
5. Click **Charge Now** to create a recurring payment.

## Delete the Token

You can delete a token from the Dashboard.

<Warning>
  **Watch Out!**

  Once a token is deleted, no further action can be performed on it. You will need to complete the authorisation process again to create a new token.
</Warning>

To delete a token:

1. Log in to the Dashboard.
2. Under **PAYMENT PRODUCTS**, navigate to **Subscriptions** → **Tokens**.
3. Search for the token using the `token_id`.
4. Click on the `token_id` to open the details page.
5. Click **Delete Token**.
