Razorpay is the go-to payment gateway for businesses. They offer payment options like UPI, bank transfers, and QR Code scanning, which makes life easier for the customers. However, to carry out all these payments, Razorpay charges a fee on each order payment they process. As a business, there are lots of orders and payments made every day and with the market demand increasing and a bunch of transactions to handle, keeping track of those fees can be very bothersome. It can be tricky to keep track of the fee charged on every payment. If you’re getting overcharged on many orders, it can add up over time and lead to a big loss.
The Challenge: Keeping Up with Razorpay Fees
Manually tracking individual Razorpay fees on every transaction is a time-consuming and error-prone process. With the growing popularity of Razorpay, businesses are processing more payments daily, further complicating manual reconciliation. Unidentified overcharges can silently accumulate over time, impacting your profitability significantly.
