The Razorpay, order, and inventory loop

Razorpay is not just a payment button. In a serious ecommerce workflow, the server creates the order, the customer pays through Razorpay Checkout, and the backend verifies the payment signature before marking an order as paid.

For Amrit Dhara, that payment status should then connect to inventory: incense cones, sambrani cups, the one-and-one combo, and the two-cone two-cup family ritual pack. Paid orders should reserve stock. Failed or pending orders should not quietly reduce inventory.

The public customer experience can stay simple: choose product, pay securely, receive confirmation. Behind it, the command dashboard should show payment status, fulfilment status, product drawdown, and any failed verification.

The most important rule is security. Razorpay key secrets belong on the server, never in browser code. Test mode can validate flow, but live mode needs final approval, webhook configuration, and real payment verification.
