2. Create an Order

To process any payment on Cashfree PG, the merchant needs to create an order in the cashfree system.

❗️

Order creation must happen from your backend (as this API uses your secret key). Please do not call this directly from your mobile application.

Production -> https://api.cashfree.com/pg/orders
Sandbox -> https://sandbox.cashfree.com/pg/orders

Note: Please see the description of the request below.

If the order creation is successful you will receive a 200 response and the order entity in response. This order entity contains relevant details for the order.

We recommend that you store the following parameters at your end order_id, cf_order_id , payment_session_id , and the order_status.

Note: The payment_session_id contains all the order details and has to be sent to the SDK while initiating the payment.

Please refer our Create Order API for more details regarding parameters and more.
