Razorpay partners with AI coding firm Replit to Localise Payments for Indian AI Developers

Razorpay today has announced a partnership with global AI coding company Replit. The collaboration will allow Indian users to make payments and help developers earn money from AI-built apps using local payment options.

As India’s AI developer community grows and more users create software on global platforms, local payment options have become a major challenge for earning revenue.

The partnership aims to solve this by enabling easy rupee payments for subscriptions and integrating local payment methods directly into AI-built apps.

“What’s exciting about Razorpay is how forward-looking they are with AI. They already have a product around agentic payments,” Replit chief executive officer Amjad Masad said. Developers are increasingly building conversational AI and they should be able to integrate payments in a much more seamless way. Payments are going to be deeply integrated into the agentic AI layer.”

“We will accept payments using our cross-border licence for Replit in India and then settle it to them, taking care of compliance and complexity,” Razorpay cofounder and CEO Harshil Mathur said.

“When an Indian builder creates an app on Replit and wants to monetise Indian users that part will be domestic. Instead of manually integrating Razorpay, users can simply prompt Replit to add Razorpay and it will be done automatically," he added.

Replit will use Razorpay’s International Payments Suite so Indian users can pay for subscriptions in rupees via UPI and cards.

India handles over 20 billion UPI transactions each month, with UPI making up about 85% of all digital payments, along with billions of card transactions, the companies said.

Razorpay will also integrate its payment system into Replit’s AI platform, letting developers add UPI and card payments directly into the apps they build.

The rollout will start in beta, allowing developers to move from prototype to monetized product without needing a local company setup, the companies added.
