Introduction to Autopay Java SDK
The PhonePe Java SDK (v 2.1.8) for Autopay simplifies server-side integration with the PhonePe Payment Gateway for recurring payments. It offers a simple, secure, and efficient way to manage autopay transactions, allowing you to focus on delivering seamless and engaging user experiences.
User Journey
The following user journey illustrates the complete payment lifecycle to help you understand the integration flow clearly.

Prerequisites
Before you start the integration process, ensure you have:
- Access to PhonePe PG’s UAT (User Acceptance Testing) and production environments.
- A testing environment to simulate the payment flow.
- Java 8 or higher installed on your system.
Java SDK Setup
This section guides you through setting up the PhonePe Java SDK for Autopay in projects using Maven and Gradle. It includes the necessary dependencies and repository configuration to get started. Additionally, test credentials are provided to help you simulate and validate integration flows before going live.
Setting Up the SDK with Maven
Add the dependency to your project’s POM file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.phonepe</groupId>
<artifactId>pg-sdk-java</artifactId>
<version>2.1.8</version>
</dependency>Setting Up the SDK with Gradle
Add the following to your project’s build.gradle file.
include the PhonePe repository URL under the repositories section, and add the pg-sdk-java JAR under dependencies.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.phonepe:pg-sdk-java:2.1.8'
}Test Credentials
To get started with the integration, you’ll need three essential details: the API key, merchant ID, and secret key. Reach out to the Integration team to obtain these credentials for testing.
String clientId = "<clientId>";
String clientSecret = "<clientSecret>";
Integer clientVersion = "<clientVersion>"; What’s Next ?
The introduction has provided you with a broad overview of setting up the Java SDK. Now, let’s move forward with Class Initialisation to begin integrating the SDK into your application.
