Razorpay + Paddle setup runbook

Razorpay Subscriptions (India INR)

Step 1: Account signup (Sole proprietor PAN-only)

  1. Go to https://razorpay.com/payments/signup
  2. Sign up with email + phone (OTP verification)
  3. Choose Sole Proprietor business type
  4. KYC documents (have ready):
    • PAN card (yours)
    • Aadhaar (with phone-linked OTP)
    • Bank account (cancelled cheque OR bank statement)
    • Business proof: invoice/utility bill at your address (optional but speeds approval)
  5. Approval typically 1–3 business days

Step 2: Create Subscription Plans

Once approved, login to https://dashboard.razorpay.com:

  1. Sidebar → Subscriptions → Plans → + Create Plan

Create these 4 plans (one at a time):

PlanIntervalAmountPlan name
Pro MonthlyMonthly₹99oriz-pro-monthly
Pro YearlyYearly₹799oriz-pro-yearly
Max MonthlyMonthly₹299oriz-max-monthly
Max YearlyYearly₹2,499oriz-max-yearly

For each plan:

Capture each plan’s Plan ID (looks like plan_XXXXX). Save in c:/D/oriz/.env:

RAZORPAY_PLAN_PRO_MONTHLY=plan_XXXXXXXXXXXX
RAZORPAY_PLAN_PRO_YEARLY=plan_XXXXXXXXXXXX
RAZORPAY_PLAN_MAX_MONTHLY=plan_XXXXXXXXXXXX
RAZORPAY_PLAN_MAX_YEARLY=plan_XXXXXXXXXXXX

Step 3: Get API keys

  1. Sidebar → Account & Settings → API Keys → Generate Test Keys
  2. Capture KEY_ID and KEY_SECRET. Save in .env:
RAZORPAY_KEY_ID=rzp_test_XXXXXXX     # for testing; replace with live after going live
RAZORPAY_KEY_SECRET=XXXXXXXXXXXX
  1. Same screen — generate Webhook Secret (used to verify webhook signatures). Save:
RAZORPAY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=XXXXXXXXXXXX

Step 4: Configure webhook URL

  1. Sidebar → Account & Settings → Webhooks → + Add new webhook
  2. URL: https://oriz.in/api/billing-webhook/razorpay (this is our CF Pages Function)
  3. Subscribe to events:
    • subscription.activated
    • subscription.charged
    • subscription.cancelled
    • subscription.completed
    • subscription.expired
    • payment.failed

Step 5: Pricing page integration

On /pricing page (rendered by @chirag127/astro-billing):

// On "Subscribe Pro Monthly" click:
const resp = await fetch('https://api.razorpay.com/v1/subscriptions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Basic ' + btoa(`${KEY_ID}:${KEY_SECRET}`),
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    plan_id: PLAN_PRO_MONTHLY,
    customer_notify: 1,
    total_count: 120, // = 10 years monthly (effectively indefinite until cancel)
    notes: { userId: firebaseUid, tier: 'pro', billing: 'monthly' },
  }),
});
const sub = await resp.json();
// Open Razorpay Checkout
const rzp = new Razorpay({
  key: KEY_ID,
  subscription_id: sub.id,
  name: 'Oriz',
  description: 'Pro Monthly Subscription',
  prefill: { email: user.email },
  handler: (response) => {
    // success — webhook will activate the sub in Firestore
  },
});
rzp.open();

Need to include <script src="https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/checkout.js"></script> on the pricing page.

Step 6: Test mode → Live mode

  1. Use Test mode API keys + a test card (4111 1111 1111 1111 / any future expiry / any CVV)
  2. Confirm webhook fires, Firestore updates correctly
  3. Once verified, switch to Live mode keys (same dashboard.razorpay.com → Mode toggle top-right)
  4. Generate new Live API keys; update .env

Paddle Checkout (Rest-of-World USD)

Step 1: Vendor signup

  1. Go to https://paddle.com/signup
  2. Choose Self-Service Plan (free; takes 5% + $0.50 per transaction)
  3. KYC required:
    • Company OR individual seller
    • For individual non-US seller: W-8BEN form (online, auto-generated)
    • Bank account in payout currency (USD/EUR/INR convertible)
    • Government ID
  4. Approval: 5–7 business days

Step 2: Create Catalog → Products

Once approved, login to https://vendors.paddle.com:

  1. Sidebar → Catalog → Products → + New product

Create 2 products:

Step 3: Create Prices per product

For Oriz Pro:

For Oriz Max:

Each Price has a Price ID (pri_XXXXX). Save in .env:

PADDLE_PRICE_PRO_MONTHLY=pri_XXXXX
PADDLE_PRICE_PRO_YEARLY=pri_XXXXX
PADDLE_PRICE_MAX_MONTHLY=pri_XXXXX
PADDLE_PRICE_MAX_YEARLY=pri_XXXXX

Step 4: Get API + Webhook secret

  1. Sidebar → Developer Tools → Authentication → Generate API Key
  2. Save:
PADDLE_API_KEY=pdl_XXXXX
PADDLE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=pdl_XXXXX

Step 5: Webhook URL

  1. Developer Tools → Notifications → + New endpoint
  2. URL: https://oriz.in/api/billing-webhook/paddle
  3. Subscribe to events:
    • subscription.activated
    • subscription.updated
    • subscription.canceled
    • transaction.completed
    • transaction.payment_failed

Step 6: Hosted checkout URL per price

Each Price has a public Checkout URL like:

https://buy.paddle.com/<price_id>?customer_email=<email>&user_id=<firebase_uid>

Embed as button on pricing page:

<a href="https://buy.paddle.com/pri_XXX?user_id={{firebaseUid}}" target="_blank">
  Subscribe Pro Monthly
</a>

Paddle handles VAT/tax globally; we just receive the payout.

Step 7: Geo-routing on pricing page

@chirag127/astro-billing detects user country via Cloudflare’s cf-ipcountry header:

Single page; different buttons based on geo.
