The Product

A checkout built
for a billion
Indian shoppers

Magic Checkout is Razorpay's flagship consumer product — a one-click intelligent checkout that prefills buyer details, reduces COD fraud, surfaces personalised offers, and makes purchase feel effortless.

Live on thousands of D2C brands across India, handling address resolution, payment selection, intent prediction, and RTO risk scoring — all invisibly, in milliseconds. The marketing site is where merchants discover and activate it. That's where I came in.

PrimaryMobile & Tablet Ownership

Full ownership of all breakpoints below 1024px — layout decisions, responsive interactions, Framer architecture, and scroll behaviour. Every mobile experience was mine to design and build.

CollaborativeDesktop Breakpoint

Partnered with the senior Framer developer on desktop — component specs, interaction logic, visual QA. Mobile patterns I established influenced the desktop direction.

StackTools & Craft

Framer, Figma, custom CSS overrides, code components, scroll-linked animations, performance testing on real Android devices.

Challenge I · Conversion

The checkout that doesn't feel like one

A single Framer project, four breakpoints — Desktop, Desktop sm, Phone, and Tablet — all live at the same time. Every layout decision I made on mobile had to hold up across every viewport simultaneously.

Framer's breakpoint system let me iterate on mobile interactions without breaking desktop — custom scroll animations, conditional component states, and layout grids all responded to the active breakpoint. Nothing was ported; it was all designed in context.

Challenge II · COD Intelligence

Turning returns into revenue

COD carries 3–4× the return rate of prepaid. Magic Checkout scores every order using 200+ signals before placement. My role: build UI that communicates risk without creating distrust.

Framer's conditional rendering let me personalise the nudge based on risk tier — right incentive, right moment. The result: a 36.36% drop in RTO rates across activated merchants.

Challenge III · Identity & Prefill

Recognising 100 million shoppers on first visit

First-time visitor sees their own name and address already filled in. Instant trust. Checkout drops from 4 minutes to under 30 seconds. I built this as a progressive reveal in Framer — phone entry → OTP → instant prefill — using the timeline API for precision.

Reflection

What the work
taught me

Magic Checkout was the most technically demanding Framer project I'd taken on — responsive complexity, animation precision, real-world performance constraints.

  • 01

    Performance is a design decision. Perceived speed — skeleton states, optimistic UI, animation timing — is as real a discipline as visual design.

  • 02

    Framer's real power is conditional state. Variables and conditionals let me build demos that genuinely responded to user behaviour in real time.

  • 03

    Breakpoints aren't just layout. Mobile users interact with thumbs, not cursors — every interaction pattern needed to be rethought, not just reflowed.

  • 04

    Marketing sites sell through demonstration. The live checkout demo created the "aha moment" that copywriting alone never could.
