Connect Instamojo in three steps

You need an active Instamojo account and a ProfitBooks account. The rest happens in two screens.

  1. Copy your Instamojo keys

    In Instamojo's developer dashboard, open API & Plugins. Note your Private API Key, Private Auth Token and Private Salt.

  2. Add them in ProfitBooks

    Go to Settings → Payment Gateway and enter the three keys. Receive payments in the bank account you used to activate Instamojo.

  3. Generate a link on an invoice

    Open the invoice under Income → Invoices and click Generate Payment Link via Instamojo. Include the link when you email the invoice, and tick the SMS option if you have the customer's mobile number.

Step-by-step screens are in the help centre: set up the Instamojo payment gateway and add a payment link to an invoice.

What happens when the customer pays

Instamojo notifies ProfitBooks, and three entries you would otherwise type by hand are made for you. Pick a step to see it.

The invoice closes itself

As soon as Instamojo confirms the payment, the invoice status changes to paid. Your list of outstanding invoices is right without anyone checking the bank statement.

Instamojo and ProfitBooks: your questions

How do I connect Instamojo to ProfitBooks?

Copy the Private API Key, Private Auth Token and Private Salt from API & Plugins in your Instamojo dashboard. In ProfitBooks, go to Settings → Payment Gateway and enter them. Receive payments in the bank account you used to activate Instamojo.

How does my customer pay an invoice through Instamojo?

They open the payment link in your invoice email, or in the optional SMS, and pay on Instamojo by credit card, debit card or net banking. You add the link from the invoice with Generate Payment Link via Instamojo.

What happens in ProfitBooks after the customer pays?

ProfitBooks receives a notification from Instamojo and marks the invoice as paid. It also creates a receipt voucher for the amount received and books the gateway fee as an expense, so you do not record the payment by hand.

Can I use Instamojo for invoices in US dollars or other currencies?

No. Instamojo supports INR invoices only, so the payment link works for invoices in Indian rupees. For clients abroad, record the receipt against the export invoice in ProfitBooks, or look at the Payoneer offer for cross-border payments.

Do I need my customer's email address or mobile number?

Yes. ProfitBooks needs either the customer's email address or mobile number to generate an Instamojo payment link. Add one of them to the customer's details first. With a mobile number you can also send the link by SMS.

What if I change the invoice after sending the link?

Generate a fresh payment link. Each time you update the invoice, regenerate the link and check that the link details show the correct amount before you email the invoice again.

Can I add an Instamojo link to a GST invoice?

Yes. The link goes on the invoices you already create in ProfitBooks, including GST invoices with CGST, SGST or IGST worked out for you. Once the customer pays, the payment shows against that invoice in your receivables.

Send your next invoice with a Pay now link.

Free plan, no credit card. Connect Instamojo when you are ready.
