ROUTE
Introduction
Razorpay’s Route product eases out the payment complexity that inherently arises while
working with multiple vendors or accounts. It helps the Client to split payments between
various third parties, sellers or bank accounts and manage settlements, refunds, and

and enables it to initiate customer refunds.

3. The amount is settled into the respective linked account’s bank account as per the
settlement cycle and the settlement schedule:
a. Client can defer settlement till mentioned otherwise.
b. Client can schedule settlement for a particular date.
c. Client can initiate settlement in the next available settlement slot.

the linked account.
b. Client enables linked account to directly Refund the funds to the Customer.

SMART COLLECT
Introduction
Providing all Customers the same bank account complicates the reconciliation process for
businesses. Razorpay’s smart collect product eliminates this by creating a new virtual account
for every Customer that the Client needs to receive payment from.
This product allows the Client to accept payments of large sums (via NEFT, RTGS and
IMPS) through a virtual account. An account created by Razorpay, virtual account is linked to
the Client’s bank account.
How it Works
Client creates multiple virtual accounts using Dashboard or API. They share these account
details, that is, the account number and the IFSC code with the Customers. Once the
customers make the payment, the virtual account is closed.
Process Steps
Batch Creation
1. Client creates a CSV/XLS/XLSX file containing the desired Customer and virtual
account data.
2. They raise a request to process the file on the support page as an existing Customer.
Also, they share the 14-character Razorpay merchant Id in email body.
3. Once Razorpay processes the file it is shared with the Client with a few new columns
appended per row.
4. If the accounts are created successfully, the row will contain the Razorpay Customer
ID, the virtual account ID (a newly created virtual account), and associated bank
account details.
5. If there is a failure, subsequent columns will have the error description.
6. The account details are shared with the customers to receive payments.
