Recurring Payments APIs for UPI

API-wise Integration Checklist for UPI

UPI Registration using Standard Checkout

• We recommend that you create a single customer id rather than multiple customer ids for the same customer. If their details change, you can use the

  Edit Customer Details

  API. Duplicate validation is done based on email ID and phone number.
• Use the fail_existing : 1 parameter so that the

  API

  returns the same details of the customer created earlier. If the fail_existing : 0 is used, the API throws an error and does not fetch the customer ID previously created. This can help in the end-user journey experience if a customer is signing up despite having signed up earlier.
• Use the

  Payments Downtime

  API to check for any ongoing downtimes that may impact the UPI Recurring.
• Ensure you pass all the token parameters while

  creating an Order

  for the authorization transaction using the Standard Checkout method.
• Ensure you pass the value of the recurring parameter as 1 in the

  Create an Authorization Payment

  API. If not passed, it would be considered a one-time payment. Once the authorization payment is made, we request you verify the payment signature at your backend.
• To check the status of the token ID use the

  Fetch Token

  API.
• Enable webhooks to check the status of the

  token

  and

  payments

  and the

  registration link

  . Use this only if your business is using it in a non-critical way. In critical scenarios, we recommend that you

  fetch

  APIs.
• A pre-debit notification is sent before the payment is deducted by the issuing bank. It is recommended that you check the presentment time in the

  FAQ

  document before proceeding with the recurring payments.

UPI Registration using a Registration Link

• Ensure to pass the below parameters while creating a registration link using the API:
  1. Customer details such as name, email, and contact.
  2. sms_notify and email_notify as 1 to send notifications to customers.
  3. amount as 0 and type as link.
  4. description of the link.
  5. subscription_registration details such as:
     • method as upi
     • max_amount as 500
     • frequency as monthly or as_presented

Create Subsequent Payments

• Ensure the token_id passed is for the linked customer_id while creating a recurring payment.
• Use

  webhook

  to get real-time updates of payment.
