If you’re running an online business and using Systeme.io, you’ve probably noticed how powerful and easy-to-use the platform is.
It covers everything from sales funnels and email marketing to online courses and affiliate programs—all in one place. But when it comes to collecting payments in India, there’s one big question that keeps popping up:
How do you connect Razorpay to Systeme.io?
It’s a fair question. Razorpay is one of the most popular payment gateways in India, trusted by over 8 million businesses.
Systeme.io, on the other hand, is growing fast globally, especially with solopreneurs, coaches, and small businesses. But there’s no built-in Razorpay integration…yet.
So, can you still use Razorpay with Systeme.io?
Yes, you can. It just takes a few extra steps.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to connect Razorpay to Systeme.io—without coding, and without needing to hire a developer.
I’ll also explain why you might want to do this, the tools you’ll need, common mistakes to avoid, and answer a few questions that come up often.
Let’s get started.
Why connect Razorpay to Systeme.io?
If you’re selling to Indian customers, Razorpay is one of your best options for collecting payments. Here’s why:
It supports UPI, credit/debit cards, wallets, and net banking—all the common payment methods in India.
Low transaction fees compared to many international gateways like Stripe or PayPal.
Fast payouts—usually within 2-3 days.
Trusted and widely used, which builds customer confidence.
Now, Systeme.io does offer Stripe and PayPal integrations out of the box. But for Indian users, Stripe isn’t supported without a U.S. or European bank account, and PayPal isn’t everyone’s favorite (fees, restrictions, disputes—you know the deal).
That’s where Razorpay comes in. Connecting it to Systeme.io gives you more control and makes payments simpler for your customers.
Tools You’ll Need
To bridge the gap between Razorpay and Systeme.io, you’ll need a third-party automation tool. The most popular options are:
Pabbly Connect (Indian alternative to Zapier, cheaper and works well)
Zapier (global, but more expensive)
Make (formerly Integromat) (powerful, more flexible, slightly steeper learning curve)
For this tutorial, I’ll use Pabbly Connect because:
It integrates well with both Systeme.io and Razorpay
It’s affordable
It’s beginner-friendly
How Do I Connect Razorpay To Systeme.io?
Step 1: Set Up Your Razorpay Account
If you haven’t already, go to https://razorpay.com and create a free business account.
Once you’re verified, head over to your Dashboard > Settings > API Keys. Generate a key if you haven’t yet. Keep the Key ID and Key Secret handy.
These will be used to connect with Pabbly.
Step 2: Set Up Systeme.io
In Systeme.io, set up your product or offer. This is usually a course, ebook, or service. You’ll need:
A sales funnel or landing page
A thank-you page
A tag or automation rule to give access after payment
Don’t link a payment gateway inside Systeme.io for now. Instead, we’ll use Razorpay externally and trigger access through automation.
Step 3: Create a Razorpay Payment Page
In your Razorpay dashboard:
Go to Payment Pages > Create Page
Add your product name, pricing, and description
Set up redirect URL to your Systeme.io thank-you page
This is where customers land after they pay. It’s a great place to trigger automations in Systeme.io.
Step 4: Use Pabbly Connect To Automate Access
Now comes the fun part—connecting it all.
Sign up and create a new workflow
Set Razorpay as the trigger app
Choose “Payment Successful” as the trigger event
Connect your Razorpay account using the API key from earlier
Test the trigger with a sample payment
Now, set up the action:
Set Systeme.io as the action app
Choose “Add Tag to Contact” or “Enroll User to Course”
Use the customer email from Razorpay to match with Systeme.io
Test and activate the workflow
And that’s it. Whenever someone pays through Razorpay, Pabbly will automatically enroll them in your course or tag them in Systeme.io for email automation.
Extra Tip: Use Webhooks for Faster Sync
If you want even faster updates, you can set up a webhook in Razorpay to push data instantly to Pabbly. This ensures your customer doesn’t wait for access.
Pabbly has clear guides for setting this up here:

What If You Sell Multiple Products?
You can create multiple payment pages in Razorpay for different offers, and set up separate workflows in Pabbly for each one. Just make sure to track the product ID or page name in the webhook, so the right access is granted inside Systeme.io.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
Forgetting to add a thank-you page in Razorpay – You need this to redirect users back and signal a completed payment.
Not testing the workflow – Always do a test payment and make sure the data flows correctly from Razorpay to Pabbly to Systeme.io.
Mixing currencies – Razorpay only works in INR. So make sure your Systeme.io prices are aligned, or you may confuse customers.
FAQs
Can I use Razorpay as a full payment gateway in Systeme.io?
No. Systeme.io doesn’t have native Razorpay integration, so you have to handle payments outside the platform (like through Razorpay Payment Pages) and connect the dots using tools like Pabbly.
Is Pabbly free?
Pabbly offers a free plan with limited tasks, but for production use, I recommend the paid version. It starts at ₹699/month and is way more affordable than Zapier.
What if the customer enters the wrong email?
You can add a form step before payment (like on your funnel) to collect the email first, then pass it to Razorpay via the payment page URL. This ensures it matches in both places.
Is this setup legal and secure?
Yes. Razorpay is fully PCI-compliant and secure. Systeme.io is GDPR-compliant. As long as you’re using HTTPS and verified accounts, you’re good to go.
