Payment Gateway
Payment Gateway
It acts as an intermediary between the merchant and the financial institutions, ensuring that the
transaction is carried out securely and efficiently. The payment gateway encrypts sensitive
information, such as credit card numbers, to ensure that information is passed securely between the
customer and the merchant.
To integrate a payment gateway into a web application using HTML, CSS, and C#, you'll typically
follow these steps:
1. Choose a Payment Gateway: Select a payment gateway provider such as Stripe, PayPal, or
Square. Each provider will have its own API and integration process.
2. Create an Account: Sign up for an account with the chosen payment gateway provider and
obtain your API keys.
3. Set Up the Frontend (HTML & CSS): Create a form where users can input their payment
information. Use CSS to style the form.
4. Set Up the Backend (C#): Write server-side code to handle the payment processing using the
payment gateway's API.

}Steps Summary:
1. Set up Razorpay: Include the Razorpay Checkout script in your HTML and configure it with
your key.
4. Handle the payment: Use Razorpay's JavaScript library to handle the payment process.
5. Verify the payment: On the server, use Razorpay’s API to verify the payment.
By following these steps, you can integrate Razorpay into your web application using HTML, CSS, and
C#. Razorpay provides detailed documentation and SDKs to help you with the integration process.
Explanation
1. HTML Structure:
o The <html lang="en"> tag sets the language of the document to English.
o Inside the <head>, there are metadata elements such as <meta charset="UTF-8"> for
character encoding and <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0"> to ensure the page is responsive on mobile devices.
2. CSS Styles:
o The .payment-form class styles the form container with a maximum width, center
alignment, padding, border, and rounded corners.
o The .form-field class styles each form field with bottom margin.
o The .form-field label and .form-field input styles ensure the labels and inputs are
displayed properly.
3. Form Elements:
o The <form id="payment-form"> is the form that collects user details: Name, Email,
and Amount.
▪ var options = { ... } defines the options for Razorpay Checkout, including the
key, amount, currency, name, description, handler, and prefill details.
▪ var rzp1 = new Razorpay(options); initializes the Razorpay Checkout with the
specified options.
This setup allows you to collect user details and process payments through Razorpay. For actual use,
replace "your-razorpay-key-id" with your Razorpay key ID.

we are using javascript code for integration why we also use c# for backend process let me explain
these thinks
ChatGPT
Sure, I'll explain why we use JavaScript for the frontend and C# for the backend in a payment
integration process.
1. User Interaction:
o JavaScript is essential for handling user interactions on the client side, such as
capturing payment details and initiating the payment process.
o Many payment gateways, like Razorpay, provide JavaScript SDKs to handle payment
processing on the client side. These SDKs help in securely collecting and encrypting
payment information.
o The JavaScript code interacts with the payment gateway directly from the user's
browser, reducing the server's involvement in handling sensitive information.
3. Immediate Feedback:
o JavaScript can provide immediate feedback to the user, such as showing payment
processing status or errors without needing to reload the page.
1. Security:
o The backend is responsible for securely handling and verifying payment transactions.
This includes verifying the payment with the payment gateway, checking for fraud,
and ensuring the transaction is legitimate.
o Sensitive operations like storing API keys and handling server-side logic are safer
when done on the backend rather than the client side.
2. Business Logic:
o The backend handles business logic such as updating the database with payment
details, creating invoices, sending confirmation emails, and more.
o This ensures that your application can perform necessary operations once a payment
is successful.
o After the payment is processed on the client side, the backend verifies the payment
status with the payment gateway to ensure it was successful.
o This step is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that only valid
transactions are recorded.
o The backend can integrate with other systems such as inventory management, user
account management, and analytics, providing a seamless workflow after a payment
is made.
1. Frontend (JavaScript):
o The user fills out the payment form.
o JavaScript (using Razorpay SDK) collects payment details and sends them to
Razorpay.
2. Backend (C#):
o The backend uses the Razorpay API to verify the payment status.
o The backend responds to the frontend with the result of the payment verification.

Sure, let's go through the backend C# code step-by-step to understand how it works:
The backend code is responsible for handling the payment verification process after the Razorpay
payment is initiated on the frontend. Here's the code in detail:
csharp
Copy code
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Razorpay.Api;
[HttpPost]
if (payment["status"] == "captured")
// Payment succeeded
return View("Success");
else
// Payment failed
return View("Failure");
Detailed Explanation
csharp
Copy code
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Razorpay.Api;
o Razorpay.Api: This namespace provides classes and methods to interact with the
Razorpay API.
2. Controller Definition:
csharp
Copy code
o PaymentController: This is a controller class that inherits from Controller, a base class
in ASP.NET Core for handling web requests.

csharp
Copy code
[HttpPost]
o [HttpPost]: This attribute indicates that the ProcessPayment method will handle
HTTP POST requests.
csharp
Copy code
o string key and string secret: These variables hold your Razorpay API Key and Secret,
which you obtain from your Razorpay account.
o RazorpayClient client = new RazorpayClient(key, secret);: This line initializes the
Razorpay client using the API Key and Secret. The RazorpayClient class is provided by
the Razorpay SDK.
csharp
Copy code
o Payment payment: This variable will hold the payment details fetched from
Razorpay.
csharp
Copy code
if (payment["status"] == "captured")
// Payment succeeded
return View("Success");
else
// Payment failed
return View("Failure");
o return View("Success");: If the payment is successful, this line returns the Success
view.
o return View("Failure");: If the payment is not successful, this line returns the Failure
view.
Additional Details
• Views:
o return View("Success"); and return View("Failure"); return views named Success and
Failure, respectively. These views should be created in your ASP.NET Core project to
display appropriate messages to the user based on the payment outcome.
Summary
• Action Method: Defines an action method ProcessPayment that handles HTTP POST
requests.
• Razorpay Client: Initializes the Razorpay client using your API Key and Secret.
• Payment Fetching: Fetches payment details from Razorpay using the payment ID.
• Status Verification: Verifies the payment status and returns appropriate views based on the
result.
This backend code securely verifies the payment status using the Razorpay API and allows you to
handle further business logic upon successful payment.

When integrating payment gateways or other services into your application, understanding the
concepts of callback URLs and handler functions is crucial. These mechanisms allow your application
to process responses from external services and act accordingly.
Callback URL
A callback URL is an endpoint on your server that the payment gateway (or other service) calls to
notify your application about the status of a transaction or operation. This URL is specified when you
set up the payment or service request.
3. Payment gateway calls the callback URL with the payment status (success, failure, etc.).
The callback URL is usually an HTTP endpoint (a route in your web application) where you handle the
notification and update your records accordingly.
Handler Function
A handler function is a client-side function that processes the response from the payment gateway or
service. It typically handles immediate actions like displaying messages to the user or redirecting
them to another page.
Example in JavaScript
javascript
Copy code
var options = {
"key": "your-razorpay-key-id",
"currency": "INR",
alert(response.razorpay_payment_id);
},
"prefill": {
"email": "[email protected]"
};
var rzp1 = new Razorpay(options);
rzp1.open();
Here's how you might handle the callback URL in a backend written in C# using ASP.NET Core:
csharp
Copy code
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Razorpay.Api;
[HttpPost]
[Route("api/payment/callback")]
if (payment["status"] == "captured")
// Payment succeeded
else
// Payment failed
return BadRequest(new { status = "failure" });
Frontend (JavaScript)
html
Copy code
<script src="https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/checkout.js"></script>
<script>
document.getElementById('pay-button').onclick = function(e) {
var options = {
"key": "your-razorpay-key-id",
"currency": "INR",
alert(response.razorpay_payment_id);
form.method = 'POST';
form.action = '/api/payment/callback';
input.type = 'hidden';
input.name = 'razorpay_payment_id';
input.value = response.razorpay_payment_id;
form.appendChild(input);
document.body.appendChild(form);
form.submit();
},
"prefill": {
"email": "[email protected]"
};
rzp1.open();
e.preventDefault();
</script>
Backend (C#)
The backend handles the callback from the payment gateway and processes the payment status:
csharp
Copy code
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Razorpay.Api;
[HttpPost]
[Route("api/payment/callback")]
if (payment["status"] == "captured")
// Payment succeeded
else
// Payment failed
Summary
• Callback URL: An endpoint on your server where the payment gateway sends the payment
status.
• Handler Function: A client-side function that processes the immediate response from the
payment gateway.
• Frontend: Initiates the payment and handles the response using the handler function.
• Backend: Verifies the payment status using the callback URL and performs necessary
business logic.
