How to Generate API Keys in Razorpay

Overview

To integrate Razorpay with Zylu and start accepting online payments, you need API Keys. These consist of:

  • Key ID – Public identifier for your account.

  • Key Secret – Private key used to authenticate requests.

You must generate these keys in your Razorpay Dashboard and enter them in Zylu’s payment configuration.


Requirements

Before generating Live Mode keys:

  • Your Razorpay account must be activated.

  • Your business website details must be submitted and verified in Razorpay.

You can generate Test Mode keys without website verification.


Steps to Generate API Keys

  1. Log in to Razorpay Dashboard
    Go to https://dashboard.razorpay.com and sign in with your credentials.

  2. Choose the Mode

    • Test Mode – For testing payment flow. Transactions in this mode are simulated and will not move real money.

    • Live Mode – For real transactions with customers.

  3. Navigate to API Keys

    • Go to Account & SettingsWebsite and App SettingsAPI Keys.

  4. Generate Key

    • Click Generate Key for the selected mode.

    • A pop-up will display:

      • Key ID

      • Key Secret (shown only once — copy and store securely).

  5. Save Keys in Zylu

    • Copy the Key ID and Key Secret.

    • Paste them into Zylu’s Razorpay configuration fields.


Switching Between Test and Live Mode

  • Use Test Mode keys while setting up and testing your integration.

  • Once ready, switch to Live Mode in Razorpay, generate live keys, and update them in Zylu.


Regenerating API Keys

If you lose your keys or suspect they’re compromised:

  1. Log in to the Razorpay Dashboard.

  2. Select the mode (Test or Live) you want to regenerate keys for.

  3. Go to Account & SettingsAPI Keys.

  4. Click Generate New Key.

  5. Choose whether to deactivate the old key immediately or after 24 hours.

  6. Verify your identity with OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
