gamexo developersSupported gateways
Five gateways, the credentials each one needs, and which of them gamexo can verify against the provider.
Five gateways can be connected. Three of them can be verified — gamexo makes a real read-only call and confirms the credential works. Two cannot, for a reason worth understanding before you pick one.
| Gateway | Credentials | Live verification |
|---|---|---|
| Razorpay | Key ID, Key Secret, Webhook Secret (optional) | Yes |
| Cashfree | App ID, Secret Key | Yes |
| Stripe | Publishable Key, Secret Key, Webhook Secret (optional) | Yes |
| PhonePe | Merchant ID, Salt Key, Salt Index | Format only |
| PayU | Merchant Key, Merchant Salt | Format only |
What “format only” means
PhonePe and PayU have no authenticated read endpoint that answers “are these credentials valid?”. Both sign every request with the salt, and the only way to exercise them is to initiate a transaction — which verification must never do.
So for those two, gamexo checks that the credential is shaped correctly and says so plainly. It will not show a green tick it has not earned. You find out the credential is right the first time a real payment goes through.
Razorpay
Cards, UPI, netbanking and wallets. The default for most Indian academies.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Key ID | rzp_test_… or rzp_live_…. Public half of the pair — safe to show, it reaches the browser anyway. |
| Key Secret | Shown once by Razorpay when the key is generated. Regenerate there if lost. |
| Webhook Secret | Optional. Set it if you have configured a webhook, so callbacks can be verified. |
The key prefix tells us which mode it belongs to, so a live key pasted into a test connection is caught.

Cashfree Payments
Payment gateway with same-day settlements and payouts.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| App ID | Sent as the x-client-id header. |
| Secret Key | Sent as x-client-secret. Cashfree also signs its webhooks with this, so there is no separate webhook secret. |
Cashfree picks test versus live by which hostname you call, not by the key, so nothing about the credential itself reveals the mode. You tell us which it is.

Stripe
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Publishable Key | Public. Reaches the browser. |
| Secret Key | Server-side only. |
| Webhook Secret | Optional, for verifying callbacks. |
PhonePe Payment Gateway
UPI-first checkout with the widest UPI reach in India.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Merchant ID | Issued by PhonePe. |
| Salt Key | Used to sign every request. |
| Salt Index | Which salt the key corresponds to. Usually 1. |
Like Cashfree, PhonePe selects test versus live by hostname.
Verification is format only — see the callout above.

PayU
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Merchant Key | Issued by PayU. |
| Merchant Salt | Used to sign every request. |
Verification is format only — see the callout above.
Choosing
If you have no existing relationship, Razorpay is the path of least resistance for an Indian venue: broad payment-method coverage, and gamexo can prove the credential works before your first customer tries to pay.
If you already have a gateway, use it. The routing rules in Routing let you run a new one on the counter first and point the public site at it later, once you trust it.
