  How to update the Razorpay for AcelleMail plugin — a manual
  download-and-upload process that preserves your API keys, license and webhook
  secret.
---

# Updating

The Razorpay gateway plugin updates **manually**. There is **no in-app auto-updater** — no "Check for
Updates" button and no "Update Now" — so you stay in control of when a new version goes live. The
process is a quick two steps: download the latest ZIP, then upload it. Your settings are preserved.

## Download the update

Sign in to your **relyweb.co client area**. Your latest entitled release and its changelog are
published there — download the current `relyweb-razorpay-vX.Y.Z.zip` for your license. Always take the
newest build listed against your license so you get every fix and security update.

::: tip Read the changelog first
The changelog next to the download tells you what changed. Check it — and this app's
[changelog](/razorpay-acellemail/changelog) — before applying an update to a busy production server.

## Upload it

In AcelleMail, go to **Admin → Plugins → Upload Plugin** and upload the new ZIP over the existing
install. **Your settings are preserved**: your API Key ID, API Key Secret, license key and Webhook
Secret all persist, because they live in AcelleMail's own database, not in the plugin files. You do
**not** need to re-enter credentials or re-map subscription plans after an update.

## What updates need (by license type)

Your ability to download new builds follows your license and its Support & Updates window:

* **Leased** — while your subscription is active, you can download the latest release from the client
  area.
* **Lifetime** — you keep the version you're entitled to; downloading newer builds depends on your
  Support & Updates coverage.

If a download link is missing or greyed out, your Support & Updates window has likely lapsed —
renew from the client area to regain access to the newest builds.

## If an update won't apply

* Re-download the ZIP in case the file was truncated, and upload the **whole** ZIP (don't unzip it).
* Confirm your server still meets the [requirements](/razorpay-acellemail/requirements) — the
  **ionCube Loader 13.0.2+** must be active on PHP 8.2–8.5.
* After uploading, open **Admin → Plugins → Razorpay → Settings** and confirm the license badge still
  reads **Active**. If it doesn't, re-save Settings (a local background check runs against relyweb.co;
  brief outages are tolerated).
* Still stuck? See [Troubleshooting](/razorpay-acellemail/troubleshooting).
