Linked Accounts

Use Linked Accounts to split payments between multiple third-parties, bank accounts and vendors. Add Linked Accounts and provide them access to issue refunds, view reversals and settlements and manage their profile.


Businesses need to distribute payments across multiple recipients - marketplaces paying sellers, platforms sharing revenue with partners or companies managing vendor payments. Manual fund transfers and reconciliation create operational complexity.

Razorpay Curlec Route automates this through Linked Accounts, splitting payments between multiple recipients while giving you central control and each recipient self-service capabilities.

Linked Accounts are dedicated entities within your Route setup that receive a portion of incoming funds. Each Linked Account:

  • Receives funds based on your split payment configuration.
  • Has a unique account_id for API integration and tracking.
  • Can access a dedicated dashboard for self-service operations.
  • Processes refunds using available balance.

  • Split Payments: Automatically divide incoming funds between multiple recipients.
  • Central Management: Handle settlements, refunds and reconciliations for all Linked Accounts.
  • Access Control: Grant or revoke dashboard permissions for each Linked Account.
  • Complete Visibility: Track all fund movements, transfers and operations.

Settlement Timing: Linked Account settlements take 2 working days, regardless of your primary settlement schedule.

  • As a Linked Account user, you cannot access the Linked Account Dashboard unless the primary account owner adds you as a team member from their Linked Account Dashboard.

Refund Capabilities

Due to government regulations, in certain cases, the Linked Accounts need to directly process refunds to customers. You can enable refunds capability while adding a new account.

To enable refunds capability for an existing account:

  1. Navigate to the Accounts tab.
  2. Turn on the Allow Refunds toggle against the relevant account.
