How to Configure Razorpay in LearnPress

Once the plugin is active, you must configure it within LearnPress to connect it to your Razorpay account.

Enabling the Payment Method

First, you need to tell LearnPress to use Razorpay as a payment option.

From your WordPress Dashboard, navigate to LearnPress → Settings.
Click on the Payments tab at the top of the page.
You will see a list of available payment gateways. Find and click on Razorpay.
Check the ‘Enable Razorpay’ box.
Click the ‘Save settings’ button at the bottom of the page.

Adding Your Razorpay API Keys

This is the most crucial step. You need to link your website to your Razorpay account using unique API keys.

While still in the Razorpay settings (LearnPress → Settings → Payments), you will see fields for Key ID and Key Secret.
To find these keys, log in to your Razorpay Dashboard.
In your Razorpay Dashboard, navigate to Settings → API Keys.
Click the ‘Generate Key’ button to create a new set of keys (if you haven’t already).
Razorpay will provide you with a ‘Key ID’ and a ‘Key Secret’.

Understanding Your Keys

Key ID: This is the public identifier for your Razorpay account. Copy this value from your Razorpay dashboard and paste it into the ‘Key ID’ field in your LearnPress settings.
Key Secret: This is a private, confidential key used for authentication. You will only see this key one time when you generate it. Be sure to copy it and save it in a secure location. Paste this value into the ‘Key Secret’ field in your LearnPress settings.

Finalizing Configuration

After you have pasted both your Key ID and Key Secret into the correct fields, scroll down.

Don’t forget to click the “Save settings” button to save all your changes.

Your integration of Razorpay in Eduma is now complete. You can perform a test transaction to ensure everything is working correctly.

FAQs About Razorpay in Eduma

Q1: Is the LearnPress Razorpay plugin free?

A: Yes, the ‘LearnPress Razorpay’ add-on is typically included with the Eduma theme as a bundled plugin, making it free for Eduma users. However, Razorpay itself will charge transaction fees for processed payments.

Q2: What should I do if I lose my Key Secret?

A: If you lose or forget your Key Secret, you cannot recover it. You must log in to your Razorpay dashboard, generate a new API key pair (which will deactivate the old one), and then update both the new Key ID and new Key Secret in your LearnPress settings.

Q3: Why are payments failing after setup?

A: This can happen for a few reasons. First, ensure you are using ‘Live’ keys, not ‘Test’ keys, if you want to accept real payments. Second, double-check that you copied and pasted the keys correctly, with no extra spaces. Finally, ensure your Razorpay account is fully activated and verified.

Q4: Can I test the payment process first?

A: Yes. Razorpay provides separate ‘Test Mode’ and ‘Live Mode’ API keys. You can use the ‘Test’ keys in your LearnPress settings to make test purchases without any real money being charged.

Conclusion

Integrating a secure payment gateway is essential for any e-learning website. By following this simple guide, you can successfully set up Razorpay in Eduma and provide your students with a fast, reliable, and familiar payment option. The built-in LearnPress Razorpay add-on makes this process straightforward, allowing you to focus on what matters most: creating and selling your online courses.
