Hey folks, I had a slightly broad question and couldn’t decide which channel is appropriate 😅 I’m looking at building something that a) handles event scheduling b) links up to a payment gateway(razorpay) to collect payments c) shows a confirmation page after. I’d also need a place to manage these bookings My question 1. Do I build it myself using cal.com self hosting method? 2. Can I accomplish this using the cal.com per month product? I’d appreciate any advice on this! Thanks

we dont have a razorpay integration yet but you could build it 🙏
how hard is it?
i never heard of razorpay

Razorpay is like the Stripe for India
shouldn’t be too hard just wondering which route I should go on to build this. Self hosted vs using the cal.com product

@Shyam Girish I am struggling with the same problem. Any inputs on how to go about it?

Hey there. If you open a ticket on cal.com/feature about razorpay we can prioritize it. one of our team members is from india and can help too
@Ali have you heard/worked with razorpay before?

thanks. I was thinking that we can either get razorpay integrated into our calendso deployment, or, we can mimic the booking flow at our end. For the latter, any input on the API that can help do that? With “/api/availability/{user}?dateFrom={dateFrom}&dateTo={dateTo}“: we would have to write custom code to replicate the slot finding mechanism in the booking flow at our end. Any alternatives for the second approach?

@Peer Yeah. I have worked on Razorpay integration for Timecrypt in the early days but i felt Stripe was a much better product as a whole, so I stuck with that. We faced a few issues with Razorpay in our dev for it was quite rigid. But yeah, I've worked on it's dev.
