Payment Gateway Installation Plugin for Joomla

Joomla is a fully-featured, open-source, PHP based content management tool with reusable source codes which is used to create powerful dynamic web content and sites. It gives you a multilingual, highly responsive website that works perfectly on any device of any size. It also offers you a plethora of other third-party extensions and plugins to enhance your web experience.

Paytm’s integration with your Joomla platform assists you to accept payments online using Paytm Payment Gateway that facilitates a wider choice of payment options to your customers such as Paytm Wallet, Debit Card, Credit card, Netbanking (supports 3D Secure), and UPI.

Before you begin to integrate the Paytm Payment Gateway on Joomla, make sure you have a registered business account with Paytm. To create the same, refer to the section Generate your API Keys.
