A Subscription Payment Form collects recurring payments through a hosted checkout. You can publish the form with a single plan, or add multiple plans to the same form. On a single-plan form, customers complete mandate registration for that plan. On a multi-plan form, they choose one plan at checkout. Cashfree creates a mandate and a subscription only for the plan used at checkout. See Subscription Payment Form.
Yes. A Subscription Payment Form needs at least one plan. Click Add Plan to include more plans on the same form. Customers then see every available plan and select one at checkout. Cashfree creates a mandate and a subscription only for the selected plan. For setup steps, see Subscription Payment Form.
No. The customer selects one plan and completes mandate registration for that plan only. Customers cannot switch plans after the subscription is created. Create a new subscription if the customer needs a different plan.
Yes. Every plan on a Payment Form must use the same currency. Use a separate Payment Form if you need to collect in another currency.
Collect the custom fields your reconciliation needs on your own page before the customer reaches the hosted payment form, for example institute code, roll number, or division for education and multi-institute fees, or other identifiers such as branch, campaign, or invoice reference. Submit those values to your backend, create the order server-side using the Create Order API with the fields mapped into order_tags, and then redirect the customer to the Cashfree payment session using the returned payment_session_id. This ensures the tags are always set correctly and appear in the Settlement Recon Report.
To ensure automatic redirection after a payment on a Payment Form, pass the return_url in the order_meta object during order creation.If your Payment Form is not redirecting and instead shows a success page with a Download Invoice button, disable the Download Invoice option in your Invoice Settings in the Merchant Dashboard. When this option is active, customers stay on the Cashfree success page to view the invoice instead of being redirected to the configured return URL.
