For recurring revenue
Selling the same work twice is harder than selling continued access to it. A subscription plan makes access the product and lets the platform enforce it.
Pick weekly, monthly or yearly, and offer a free trial if you want one — the subscriber gets the full plan first and the initial charge lands after the trial. Razorpay then collects each cycle automatically through UPI Autopay or a card mandate, and emails a GST invoice each time.
A failed payment does not immediately cut access off: a grace window keeps the entitlement alive while retries run. Subscribers cancel themselves and keep access to the end of the period they have already paid for.
Every subscription grants an entitlement, and the entitlement is the one thing checked on every gated action — a download, a test attempt, a metered feature. There is no second list to keep in sync, which is what usually breaks when access is managed by hand.
Subscribers are grandfathered onto the plan they signed up on. The price and limits they saw stay theirs while the subscription is active; new pricing applies to new subscribers, or if an existing one switches plans themselves.
Worth knowing before you plan around it.
As soon as the first payment is confirmed — access is granted immediately, with no manual approval. Where a free trial is included the subscriber gets the full plan first and the initial charge lands after the trial window.
Retries run while a grace window keeps the entitlement active, so a temporary failure does not lock a paying subscriber out. Access ends only if the subscription ultimately lapses.
Yes, from billing settings, with no support ticket. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
