Reviews
what people actually sayRazorpay for WooCommerce is a functional Indian payment gateway plugin that carries a poor reputation among users due to persistent payment capture failures, performance issues, intrusive admin ads, and largely unresponsive support.
What people like
- +Minimal setup required to get basic payments working×2
- +Functional for basic WooCommerce payment processing×2
Common complaints
- −Payment status not reliably synced between Razorpay dashboard and WooCommerce — successful payments frequently show as failed orders, requiring manual reconciliation×3
- −Random payment failures across UPI, netbanking, and other methods, reported as affecting roughly 1 in 5 transactions×2
- −Support team is unresponsive or unhelpful; multiple users report no reply after repeated contact attempts×4
- −Account activation takes excessively long — reported as 30 days or more — blocking merchants from going live×3
- −Plugin updates released without testing against current WordPress and WooCommerce versions, causing compatibility issues×2
- −Version 4.5.4 crashed websites on update (since 4.5.4)
- −Version 4.6.3 introduced a large, undismissable promotional banner (1600×800 px) in the WP Admin area that reappears on every page load (since 4.6.3)
- −Causes significant website performance degradation and slow load times
- −No support for WooCommerce Block Cart and Block Checkout
- −Minor UI issues: jumbled images and text in the plugin interface
