When Razorpay Checkout succeeds it calls your JavaScript handler with razorpay_order_id, razorpay_payment_id and razorpay_signature. Those values come from the browser and must never be trusted as they arrive. The server verifies by computing an HMAC SHA256 over the order ID, a literal pipe character with no surrounding spaces, then the payment ID, keyed with the API key secret and hex encoded, and comparing the result to the supplied signature in constant time.

The order of the two IDs matters and the subscription flow signs a different string, with the payment ID first followed by the subscription ID. Confirm by tampering with the displayed amount in the browser and observing that verification still passes, which is exactly why the authoritative amount must be read from the server-side order rather than from the callback.
