Recurring Payments allow you to charge your customers repeatedly without requiring them to enter payment details each time. Your customers authorise their payment method once and you can charge them at intervals you control based on your business needs. Use Razorpay Recurring Payments to create flexible payment schedules for subscriptions, installments, usage-based billing or on-demand charges. Set up recurring payments quickly using our powerful REST APIs.
Handy TipsAll recurring payments methods - Cards, UPI Autopay, Emandate and Paper NACH, are available by default on your Razorpay account.
  1. Authorise: Customer authorises their payment method.
  2. Tokenise: Payment method is securely tokenised after first successful payment.
  3. Charge: You initiate charges as needed using the token.
Recurring Payments are ideal when you need:
  • Flexible billing cycles: Charge customers based on usage, milestones or variable schedules.
  • Manual control: You decide when to charge each payment.
For automated, fixed-schedule billing (weekly, monthly, quarterly), consider using Subscriptions instead.
