Connect a Lago Customer to Cashfree

To begin collecting payments for your Lago invoices via Cashfree, you need to link a Lago customer to a Cashfree connection. When creating or editing a customer in Lago, simply select the relevant Cashfree connection under external apps to enable invoice payments.

Link Lago Customers to Cashfree Payments

Note that payments through Cashfree does not automatically proceed when Lago generates an invoice. You need to programmatically generate a checkout link by calling the following endpoint:
Request
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.getlago.com/api/v1/invoices/{lago_id}/payment_url \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
By generating this checkout link, you can forward it to your customer to complete payment using their preferred method from India. Once the payment is processed, Lago automatically retrieves the invoice status from Cashfree.
