  Install the Razorpay gateway for AcelleMail in four steps — upload the plugin,
  activate it, enter your license and Razorpay API keys, and watch both gateways
  appear.
---

# Installation

Installing the Razorpay gateway is quick: you upload the plugin, activate it, then enter your license
and Razorpay credentials once. There are **no core patches** and no shell access to configure — as
soon as you save valid settings, both gateways appear in AcelleMail's payment-gateway list. Have your
license key and your Razorpay **Key ID** and **Key Secret** to hand before you start.

## Step 1 — Upload the plugin

Log in to AcelleMail as an admin and open **Admin → Plugins → Upload Plugin**. Upload the plugin
archive you downloaded from your relyweb.co client area — for example `relyweb-razorpay-vX.Y.Z.zip`.
AcelleMail unpacks it and adds Razorpay to your plugin list.

## Step 2 — Activate

Find **Razorpay** in **Admin → Plugins** and activate it. Activation registers the plugin and its
settings page. Nothing charges yet — the two gateways stay hidden until you enter a valid license and
your API keys in the next step.

## Step 3 — Enter license and credentials

Open **Admin → Plugins → Razorpay → Settings** and fill in:

* **License Key** — your key from relyweb.co.
* **API Key ID** — your Razorpay Key ID (starts with `rzp_live_` or `rzp_test_`).
* **API Key Secret** — the matching secret from the Razorpay dashboard.
* **Webhook Secret** *(optional)* — from **Razorpay Dashboard → Webhooks**, used to verify incoming
  events.

Then click **Save Settings**. When the license validates, a green **Active** badge appears.

## Step 4 — The gateways appear

Once you save with a valid license and API keys, **Razorpay** and **Razorpay Subscription** are
created automatically and show up under **Admin → Payment Gateways → Add** — no manual wiring. The
direct **Razorpay** gateway is ready for one-time INR invoice payments straight away. The **Razorpay
Subscription** gateway needs one more step per plan: mapping.

::: tip Finish the setup

* [Configure webhooks](/razorpay-acellemail/guides/configure-webhooks) so payment and subscription
  events are received and signature-verified.
* [Set up subscriptions](/razorpay-acellemail/guides/set-up-subscriptions) to map your INR plans and
  enable recurring billing.
