Razorpay → The Trade Desk · Conversion tracking
Connecting Razorpay to The Trade Desk
Razorpay is Indian payments, where UPI dominates and the flow moves through a separate app on the customer's phone. The Trade Desk buys across the open internet rather than inside a walled garden, which means it cannot rely on a logged-in graph and has to work with identity you help it construct. The join between them succeeds or fails on one thing: whether Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email reaches the Razorpay payment before the conversion happens, because The Trade Desk can only match a conversion it can tie back to a click it recognizes.

Why this join usually fails
Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email never reaches Razorpay
The single most common cause. UPI sends the customer into a banking app to approve, and on mobile that app switch frequently ends the browser session. The payment completes and the browser that started it may never come back to fire anything.
UPI app switching ends the browser session
The customer leaves the browser for a banking app to approve, and on many devices does not return. Payment succeeds, page never fires — and UPI is the majority method in this market.
View-through conversions on the open internet
A large share of what a DSP claims is view-through: the person saw a display impression and later converted without clicking. Some of that is real influence and some of it is coincidence, and no post-click reporting can separate them. Treat the click-attributed number as the floor and prove the rest with a holdout.
Nothing reconciles afterwards
An upload that succeeds is not an upload that matched. The Trade Desk reports match rates on uploaded conversions. Read the match rate — a low one means your authenticated share is the constraint, and no amount of pipeline work will change that.
Architecture
How Razorpay and The Trade Desk actually connect
Two systems that know nothing about each other. Everything below exists to give them one shared reference.
Step 1
Razorpay holds the truth
Razorpay separates authorised and captured. Auto-capture is common but not universal, and reporting on authorised inflates the figure by whatever fails to capture.
Step 2
The Trade Desk needs a click to match
The Trade Desk needs the conversion with a UID2 or a hashed email it can resolve, plus the value and timestamp. Conversions from anonymous visitors cannot be matched at all.
Step 3
The identifier is the bridge
Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email, captured at the visit and carried into the Razorpay payment. Without it there is nothing to join on and no tool fixes that.
Step 4
The event source decides reliability
Fire on captured. The app-switch behaviour of UPI makes any browser-based trigger unreliable in a way that is much more pronounced here than on card markets.
Step 5
Deduplication at the destination
Deduplication is on your conversion identifier. Because open-internet buying frequently runs alongside search and social, the more consequential deduplication is across platforms rather than within this one.
Diagnose it honestly
Working vs. broken, side by side
Both states look identical from the The Trade Desk dashboard, which is why this runs for months before anyone notices.
Normal — not a fault
Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email present on the payment
Visible on the record itself in Razorpay, not merely captured somewhere on the site.
Sent from the Razorpay payment.captured webhook
Server-side, so it does not depend on the customer's browser still being there.
Deduplicated correctly
Deduplication is on your conversion identifier. Because open-internet buying frequently runs alongside search and social, the more consequential deduplication is across platforms rather than within this one.
Reconciles with the source
The Trade Desk's count and Razorpay's records agree within a few percent over a closed window.
Actually broken
Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email missing on most records
UPI sends the customer into a banking app to approve, and on mobile that app switch frequently ends the browser session. The payment completes and the browser that started it may never come back to fire anything.
Sent from the browser
Anyone who closes the tab, blocks the script or converts without a page load is invisible. The customer leaves the browser for a banking app to approve, and on many devices does not return. Payment succeeds, page never fires — and UPI is the majority method in this market.
Counted twice, or not at all
A large share of what a DSP claims is view-through: the person saw a display impression and later converted without clicking. Some of that is real influence and some of it is coincidence, and no post-click reporting can separate them. Treat the click-attributed number as the floor and prove the rest with a holdout.
Nobody has reconciled it
The dashboard shows a number and no one has compared it to Razorpay. A wrong number that nobody checks is indistinguishable from a right one.
Diagnostic sequence
Diagnostic order
Each step rules out a class of cause. Run them in order and the last one usually has a single explanation standing.
- 1
Count payments carrying Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email
The ceiling on everything else. Do this before debugging anything downstream.
- 2
Follow one real conversion end to end
From the ad click through Razorpay and into The Trade Desk.
- 3
Compare captured payments against confirmation-page loads on mobile
Split by payment method. The UPI gap will be much larger than the card gap.
- 4
Split reported conversions into click-through and view-through
If the great majority are view-through, the honest next step is an incrementality test rather than a bid adjustment.
- 5
Read the match rate, not the success message
The Trade Desk reports match rates on uploaded conversions. Read the match rate — a low one means your authenticated share is the constraint, and no amount of pipeline work will change that.
Source-of-truth validation
How it gets proven
Against Razorpay's own records, not against either platform's dashboard.
- Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email confirmed present on a live payment.
- A real conversion followed from click through Razorpay to The Trade Desk.
- Matched conversions reconciled against your own order records, with the click-through and view-through split stated.
- A UPI payment approved in the banking app without returning to the site, confirmed to report.
- Reconciled over a fully closed window, matched per record rather than on totals.
- Re-checked 30 days later.
Straight talk
When you don't need this
Worth reading before paying anyone, including us.
- If The Trade Desk already reports conversions that reconcile against Razorpay's records within a few percent, this join is working and there is nothing to buy.
- Measure identifier coverage yourself first — pull your last hundred payments and count how many carry Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email. Ten minutes, free, and it tells you whether any of this is worth doing.
- If your Razorpay volume is card-only, the app-switch problem largely disappears.
- If you cannot collect email addresses from a meaningful share of your buyers, UID2 has little to work with and the open internet is not yet an addressable channel for you.
Who this is for
Honest about who we’re a fit for.
We don’t take every project. Here’s how to tell if we’re right for you.
You’re a great fit if…
- You run Razorpay → The Trade Desk (or are migrating to it)
- You spend $5K+/month on paid ads (Meta, Google, TikTok, Microsoft, LinkedIn)
- Your reported ROAS doesn’t match what your bank account is saying
- You want to own your tracking stack — no monthly SaaS fees forever
- You have 2–4 days to do this once and never think about it again
Skip us if…
- You spend less than $500/month on paid ads (browser pixel is fine)
- You want a SaaS dashboard with monthly fees forever (Triple Whale, Hyros)
- You need attribution modeling — we fix the data foundation, not multi-touch reports
- You want a 6-month enterprise consulting engagement (we ship in 4 days)
- You expect us to manage your ad accounts (we don’t — that’s a different service)
If you’re still unsure,book the call anyway— we’ll tell you straight whether we can help.
What working looks like
Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email on every payment
Server-sideCaptured before the conversion and stored where it survives.
Conversions arriving in The Trade Desk
8+ EMQThe conversion is matched to an impression or click where identity resolves, and feeds the bidding models.
Reconciled against the source
DedupedRazorpay's own records are the reference, not either dashboard.
What gets built
Identifier capture into Razorpay
Pass the click identifier into the Razorpay order's notes when your server creates the order. Notes survive to the payment and to the webhook regardless of what the browser did.
Event source: the Razorpay payment.captured webhook
Fire on captured. The app-switch behaviour of UPI makes any browser-based trigger unreliable in a way that is much more pronounced here than on card markets.
Dispatch to The Trade Desk
Server-side conversion upload with the hashed identity and value, from your order system.
Reversals where they exist
Refunds are exposed and carry the original notes.
Pick the package that fits your ad spend
Fixed-fee, no surprises. If your ad spend is meaningful,server-side tracking is what we recommend— it’s the only setup that survives iOS, Safari ITP and ad blockers.
Browser-side starter
Wires the join and verifies it on a live conversion. Honest about its ceiling where the source can only be read from the browser.

Got questions?
The honestanswers.
No buzzwords, no upsell. If we don’t know, we say so.
01Why aren't my Razorpay conversions showing in The Trade Desk?
Almost always because Unified ID 2.0, derived from a hashed email never reached the Razorpay payment. UPI sends the customer into a banking app to approve, and on mobile that app switch frequently ends the browser session. The payment completes and the browser that started it may never come back to fire anything. Measure coverage before debugging the dispatch.
02What identifier does The Trade Desk need?
UID2 is built from a hashed and salted email address rather than from a cookie, which is the point: it is designed to survive third-party cookie deprecation. It also means the identifier only exists for people who gave you an email, so your addressable share is capped by your own authenticated traffic, not by the platform.
03Where should the event come from?
The Razorpay payment.captured webhook. Fire on captured. The app-switch behaviour of UPI makes any browser-based trigger unreliable in a way that is much more pronounced here than on card markets.
04How do I know it worked?
The Trade Desk reports match rates on uploaded conversions. Read the match rate — a low one means your authenticated share is the constraint, and no amount of pipeline work will change that.
