A Contact can be a vendor or a customer to whom you need to send payouts (similar to a *beneficiary* in your netbanking portal). * You can add a Contact's name, email id, phone and [Fund Account](/docs/x/fund-accounts) details (bank account, UPI or both) while creating a Contact. * You can start sending payouts once the Contact has been created. * There is no limit to the number of Contacts you can add. **Contact Support** This page is not meant for contacting Razorpay Support. Visit our [contact support page](/docs/x/support) to contact our support team. ## Contact Types When creating a Contact, you are required to assign a type to the Contact.
