The Problem: Platform-Mediated Payouts Add Delay and Opacity
If you already run a business with an existing Razorpay account, the last thing you want is a course platform that insists on routing your money through its own payout system before it reaches you — extra settlement delay, a second dashboard to reconcile against, and less visibility into exactly when a specific sale actually clears. Reusing the Razorpay account and KYC you already have, with funds settling directly, is a materially simpler setup than starting a new payment relationship from scratch.
Features Built Around Direct Razorpay Integration
BYOK connection — link your existing Razorpay account rather than onboarding into a new, platform-specific payment identity.
UPI, cards, netbanking, and wallets all available through the single Razorpay connection, since Razorpay itself supports the full range of Indian payment methods.
Direct settlement to your bank account on Razorpay's own schedule (commonly T+1 to T+3), not a platform-controlled payout cycle.
0% additional commission from WeMakeSuccess on top of Razorpay's own processing fee — you're not paying two layers of transaction cost.
Coupon, order bump, and upsell compatibility that work through the same Razorpay checkout, not a separate payment path.
What It Looks Like
In Settings, you enter your Razorpay API key and secret — the same credentials you'd use for any other Razorpay integration. From that point, every checkout on your academy routes through your Razorpay account: the transaction appears in your existing Razorpay dashboard exactly as any other Razorpay sale would, with the same settlement timing and reporting you're already used to.
Example Workflow: Connecting Razorpay and Making Your First Sale
Retrieve your API credentials from your existing Razorpay dashboard (or create a new Razorpay account if you don't have one yet).
Connect in Settings: Paste your Razorpay key and secret into WeMakeSuccess's payment integration settings — the secret is encrypted at rest.
Test checkout: Complete a test purchase to confirm the transaction appears correctly in your Razorpay dashboard.
Go live: Real student purchases now settle to your bank account on Razorpay's normal schedule.
Reconcile: Cross-reference enrollments in WeMakeSuccess's Student CRM against settled transactions in Razorpay — both draw from the same underlying sale.
Pricing With Razorpay Integration
WeMakeSuccess's ₹6,999/month flat fee includes Razorpay integration at 0% additional commission — you only pay Razorpay's own processing fee (which varies by payment method and your Razorpay plan), the same fee you'd pay Razorpay directly on any other integration.

Data ownership | Transaction history tied to the platform | Transaction history in your own Razorpay account |
Proof This Actually Works
Editorial note: Add a specific, named customer quote or case study here before publishing — a real result from a real academy (with permission to use their name) will out-convert and out-cite generic claims.
A verifiable fact: because the connection uses your own Razorpay API credentials, every transaction shows up in your Razorpay dashboard with Razorpay's own transaction ID and settlement record — independently confirmable without relying on any figure WeMakeSuccess reports.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an existing Razorpay account, or do I need a new one?
You can connect an existing Razorpay account directly — there's no requirement to create a new, platform-specific merchant account.
Is my Razorpay secret key stored securely?
Yes, API secrets are encrypted at rest and never displayed in full in the admin interface after entry — only a masked version is shown for confirmation.
How fast does settlement happen with Razorpay?
Settlement timing follows your Razorpay account's own schedule, commonly T+1 to T+3 business days depending on your specific Razorpay plan and configuration — this is unaffected by which LMS is connected to it.
Does WeMakeSuccess take any cut of Razorpay transactions?
No — WeMakeSuccess charges 0% platform commission regardless of payment gateway; the only transaction-level cost is Razorpay's own processing fee, charged directly by Razorpay.
