JSONObject notes = new JSONObject();
notes.put("notes_key_1","Tea, Earl Grey, Hot");
notes.put("notes_key_2","Tea, Earl Grey… decaf.");
customerRequest.put("notes",notes);

Customer customer = razorpay.customers.create(customerRequest);

1.2. Using a Registration Link

Registration Link is an alternate way of creating an authorisation transaction. You can create a registration link using the API or Dashboard.

Handy Tips

You do not have to create a customer if you choose the registration link method for creating an authorisation transaction.
You can use Webhooks to get notifications about successful payments against a registration link.

When you create a registration link, an invoice is automatically issued to the customer. They can use this invoice to make the authorisation payment. A registration link must always have the amount (in Paise) that the customer will be charged when making the authorisation payment. For UPI, the amount must be a minimum of ₹1.

1.2.1. Create a Registration Link

The following endpoint creates a registration link. POST /subscription_registration/auth_links

curl -u <YOUR_KEY_ID>:<YOUR_KEY_SECRET>
