Available in🇮🇳 India🇸🇬 Singapore🇺🇸 United States

Razorpay is rotating its SSL certificates as part of regular security maintenance to ensure continued secure communication between your applications and Razorpay’s services. SSL certificate rotation is a standard security practice that involves replacing expiring certificates with new ones to maintain uninterrupted encrypted connections.

Given below are the technical steps required to update SSL certificates for Razorpay integrations.

Important Information

Certificate Details	Valid From	Expiry	Action Required By
X10.pem & Chain	October 9, 2025	November 10, 2026	November 24, 2025, 10:00 PM IST

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, determine if your application uses:

• SSL certificate pinning
• Certificate whitelisting
• Custom certificate trust stores

If you have never manually updated Razorpay certificates in your applications or servers, no action is required as your systems will automatically update certificates.

No Action Needed for Third-Party Platform Users

If you use a third-party platform (WooCommerce, Magento, CS Cart, OpenCart, Shopify, WHMCS, Arastta, Prestashop, WordPress, Easy Digital Downloads, WIX, BigCommerce or Drupal Commerce), you are not required to take any action. The platform handles SSL management. Read FAQ #4 and FAQ #5 for more details.

Update Procedures

SSL Certificate Pinning

If your application has pinned the Razorpay certificate, you must pin the new certificate in addition to the current one.

Certificate Trust Store Updates

If you have a certificate trust store in the server environment that is not configured to auto-update certificates, you must ensure that the certificate trust store contains the new certificate.

Refer to this manual to learn how to update trust stores in different environments.
