## TL;DR

In test mode you can remove the order_id from the checkout options entirely.

## Steps

1. When Razorpay says the id provided does not exist, check your modes before anything else: orders belong to one mode only, so a live order_id is unknown to test keys and vice versa. In test mode you can remove the order_id from the checkout options entirely. Never mix a test key with a live order id, or a live key with a test order id, or Razorpay will not find the order.

## When to use

You are seeing this: When Razorpay says the id provided does not exist, check your modes before anything else: orders belong to one mode only, so a live order_id is unknown to test keys and vice versa. Use this skill when you run into "Razorpay 'the id provided does not exist': test keys cannot see live orders".
