Razorpay Payment Gateway Integration in PHP
Razorpay Payment Gateway Integration in PHP
✅ Step 1: Requirements & Setup
Before starting integration, ensure you have the following:
-
A Razorpay account (test or live mode)
-
PHP environment with Composer installed
-
Access to a MySQL database
-
Basic understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) and MVC design pattern
Also, install the Razorpay PHP SDK using Composer. This SDK allows your PHP application to communicate with Razorpay's API to create orders, verify payments, and manage transactions.
🧱 Step 2: Database Planning
You’ll need a table in your database to store all payment-related information. This typically includes:
-
Receipt ID
-
Razorpay Order ID
-
Razorpay Payment ID
-
Signature (used to verify authenticity)
-
Amount and currency
-
Payment status (e.g., CREATED, PAID, FAILED)
-
Timestamp of creation
Proper storage of this data is important for tracking payments, issuing refunds, or handling disputes.
🔄 Step 3: Using DAO for Payment Data
To keep database operations separate from business logic, a DAO class is used. This class handles:
-
Creating a new order record when a user initiates a payment
-
Updating the record once Razorpay returns an order ID
-
Saving payment confirmation details (Payment ID and Signature)
-
Updating status to "PAID" or "FAILED" based on verification
This structure ensures that all database actions are reusable, testable, and cleanly separated from Razorpay logic.
