FAQs

What is Razorpay Magic, and what did NetBramha design?
plus iconminus icon

Razorpay Magic is a one-click checkout experience NetBramha designed for Razorpay, India's largest full-stack payment gateway. The brief was to collapse a multi-step checkout into the fewest possible taps without weakening fraud protection.

Checkout is the highest-scrutiny, highest-drop-off moment in any payment flow - every extra field costs conversions. NetBramha's BHIM transaction-flow redesign solved a related problem at a different scale: both projects treat the number of steps to complete a payment as the primary metric to design against.

Why does checkout UX matter more than other parts of a payments product?
plus iconminus icon

A payment gateway can have excellent infrastructure and still lose transactions at the final step if the checkout interface introduces friction, confusion, or unnecessary re-authentication.

That's precisely where Razorpay Magic was aimed - the single highest-leverage screen in the entire payments journey. It's the same principle behind NetBramha's IAMIN micro-investment flow, where every additional step between intent and action measurably reduces how many people actually save.

How does designing for a payment gateway differ from designing a single merchant's checkout?
plus iconminus icon

A payment gateway's checkout has to work correctly across thousands of merchants with different catalogues, price points, and customer bases simultaneously - it can't be tuned for one business's specific customers.

That constraint doesn't exist in a typical e-commerce redesign like SPAR's retail platform or Tira's beauty commerce experience, both of which were designed around one specific brand's catalogue and customer base rather than a multi-tenant infrastructure layer.

What other fintech infrastructure has NetBramha designed for, beyond Razorpay?
plus iconminus icon

NetBramha's fintech infrastructure work spans payments (Razorpay Magic, BHIM), credit (TransUnion CIBIL), lending (ONE Muthoot, 

Ninjacart's farmer loan digitisation), and institutional debt (Yubi) - five different layers of how money moves through India's financial system, not one narrow specialism.

Is one-click checkout actually safe from a fraud perspective?
plus iconminus icon

Reducing steps in a checkout flow isn't the same as reducing security - the fraud and authentication logic in Razorpay Magic runs in the background rather than being surfaced as additional manual steps for the customer.

Designing security to be invisible rather than visible is a recurring pattern in NetBramha's regulated-industry work; the same approach underpins how TransUnion CIBIL presents sensitive credit data without adding friction for the person trying to read it.
