    1. Hi Azeem, As i now the users can use Paytm with only Indian registered number because the company hasn’t gone overseas except for Canada.

    1. Hi suman,

      This is provided by Paytm and it defines the static response URL.

      You can use these values “WEBSTAGING”, “DEFAULT”.

    Hello Ravi,

    When I am making test in TEST mode, it is ending up in this location https://developer.paytm.com/txn-response and showing this page does not exists. How I will come back to my site after a success or failure and reach and execute the response pages script in my site? It is in TEST mode..

  3. I have tried this but the data not getting on the response page because I have to send data to the database from the response page.

    1. Hi nitin,

      You can get all response values on ‘pgRedirect.php’ page. Is you redirected correctly after the payment form submit?
