Payment Gateway Installation in Moodle

Moodle is a user-friendly and open-source learning management platform (LMS) written in PHP, designed to provide administrators, educators, and students with a platform to create and deliver personalized online learning and training courses. It supports a plethora of plug-in themes that allows the admin to customize the site colors, fonts, layout, etc. to suit the local needs.

Paytm’s integration with your Moodle site 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 Moodle, make sure you have a registered business account with Paytm. To create the same, refer to the section Generate your API Keys.
