Razorpay integration with ARForms — is a must-have extension for any WordPress site using the ARForms plugin to collect payments. This add-on connects your forms directly to the Razorpay payment gateway, one of India's most popular payment solutions. It allows you to create powerful payment forms for selling products, accepting donations, or processing registration fees with a streamlined and secure checkout process for your users.
The integration is designed to be user-friendly, allowing even non-technical users to set up payment options within minutes. With features like conditional logic, you can create dynamic forms that calculate totals based on user selections and then securely pass this information to Razorpay for payment. This enhances the user experience by keeping them on your site for the entire transaction, which helps build trust and improve conversion rates.
Why is this important?
Are you losing customers at the final step? Studies show that over 21% of online shoppers abandon their cart due to a long or complicated checkout process. If your payment system redirects users to external sites or requires too many steps, you are actively losing revenue.

FAQ
Do I need the main ARForms plugin for this to work?
Yes, absolutely. This is an add-on, not a standalone plugin. It requires the ARForms WordPress Form Builder plugin to be installed and activated on your website to function correctly. This extension enhances ARForms by adding Razorpay as a payment gateway option.
Can I use this to set up recurring payments or subscriptions?
This specific integration is primarily designed for one-time payments. While Razorpay itself supports subscriptions, you would need to check the plugin's latest version features or use a dedicated Razorpay Subscriptions plugin to manage recurring billing cycles effectively with WordPress.
Is this plugin secure for handling customer payment information?
Yes, it's very secure. The plugin uses Razorpay's checkout library, which means that sensitive payment details like credit card numbers are handled directly by Razorpay's PCI-DSS compliant servers. Your website never stores this critical information, significantly reducing your security liability.
What currencies are supported by this Razorpay integration?
By default, Razorpay is optimized for Indian Rupee (INR) transactions. However, Razorpay does support international payments in various currencies, but you must have international payments enabled on your Razorpay account. Please check with Razorpay's support to ensure your account is configured for the currencies you wish to accept.
