Frequently asked questions
What does Razorpay actually cost?
Pricing is pay-as-you-go: a 2% platform fee plus GST on successful transactions, with zero MDR on standard bank-to-bank UPI and RuPay debit-card payments. Razorpay states there are no setup fees, no annual maintenance charges, no minimum monthly fees and no hidden costs, and includes Payment Links, Pages, Buttons and Invoices at the same rate. Merchants processing roughly ₹5 lakh or more per month can request custom enterprise pricing.
How long does it take to go live?
Razorpay is developer-oriented: platform SDKs (web, Android, iOS, React Native, Flutter), server libraries (PHP, Ruby, Python, .NET, Node, Java, Go), e-commerce plugins (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Wix and more) and sample applications are published, with zero integration-support fees. A customer testimonial on the pricing page states integration took less than a day to go live; typical effort is days, not months.
Can a business outside India use Razorpay?
Core expansion is India-first. Razorpay supports international payments, accepting cards, bank transfers and Apple Pay from 180+ countries and billing in 100+ currencies, and offers a MoneySaver export account for receiving ACH/SWIFT/SEPA/BACS. However, business banking, escrow, payroll and lending products assume an Indian entity, so non-India operators should confirm eligibility before shortlisting.
What support is included?
Razorpay's pricing, support and integrations pages advertise 24x7 support as a standard sign-up benefit, alongside quick onboarding, access to the full product suite and API access. Self-serve documentation is available at razorpay.com/docs, and RazorpayX current-account holders are listed as getting priority support. No specific plan tier, escalation path or published response-time SLA is stated.
What AI capabilities does Razorpay offer?
Razorpay markets a 'Build AI Native' suite: Agentic Payments, which turns chats into checkouts via AI-native payment flows; Agent Studio, for delegating operational work to agents; Agentic Business Banking; and one-click payment nodes for n8n, Replit and Vercel workflows. Optimizer is described as an AI-powered infinity router. No details are published on which models are used, customer-supplied keys, or AI audit logging, so those remain unevidenced.
Are there published security certifications?
The pages reviewed (including the Razorpay security/trust portal entry point) did not explicitly claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP or ISO 42001 status, so no compliance flags were recorded. Enterprise buyers should request current attestations, penetration-test summaries and data-residency details directly from Razorpay before completing a security review.
