# Cashfree for AcelleMail

This plugin adds **two Cashfree gateways** to AcelleMail: **Cashfree** for one-time invoice payments
(Cashfree's Drop-in checkout) and **Cashfree Subscription** for recurring plans (UPI AutoPay, eNACH
and card mandates). You enter your Cashfree credentials and license **once** in Plugin Settings and
both gateways share them — no per-gateway setup.

*Admin → Plugins → Cashfree → Settings*

::: info A quick note on scope
Cashfree is **INR-only** for domestic Payment Gateway and Subscriptions, so only INR-priced plans are
eligible. The gateways cover **UPI, credit/debit cards, net banking and wallets**.
:::

## Who it is for

An Indian business running AcelleMail that wants to bill customers in INR — one-time invoices and/or
recurring subscriptions — through Cashfree, without hand-wiring a gateway. Payments are confirmed
server-side and every webhook is signature-verified.

## What you get

| Area | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Direct Payment** | The **Cashfree** gateway — one-time invoice payments via Cashfree's Drop-in checkout |
| **Subscriptions** | The **Cashfree Subscription** gateway — recurring plans with UPI AutoPay / eNACH / card mandates |
| **Shared credentials** | App ID, Secret Key, Sandbox toggle and an optional Webhook Secret, set once and shared by both gateways |
| **License-gated** | Both gateways stay hidden until your license is Active, then appear automatically |
| **Webhook-verified** | Every incoming Cashfree webhook is signature-verified, with idempotent de-duplication |

## How it fits into AcelleMail

Upload and activate the plugin, then open **Admin → Plugins → Cashfree → Settings** to enter your
license and API keys. Once saved with a valid license, **Cashfree** and **Cashfree Subscription**
appear in **Admin → Payment Gateways** — no manual "Add" step.

::: tip Enter your license and keys first
The gateways only appear once a valid license is **Active** and you've saved your Cashfree App ID and
Secret Key. See [Installation](/cashfree-acellemail/installation) and
[Licensing](/cashfree-acellemail/licensing).
