Connect 2Checkout to J2Commerce
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the J2Commerce installation guide.
Open a 2Checkout account
Register with 2Checkout and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from 2Checkout to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your 2Checkout credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.
Install the plugin
Download the J2Commerce plugin and install it from Extensions → Manage → Install in your Joomla admin.
Enable and test
Paste your PaymentHood API key into the plugin settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.
Rather than a direct 2Checkout plugin
A single-provider plugin works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.
- Webhook security
- Instant Payment Notification with a signature, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side order status re-check against the 2Checkout API before fulfilment
- Credentials
- Merchant code and secret key, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your J2Commerce checkout
- Automatic failover when 2Checkout is unreachable, instead of a failed order
- Idempotent charge creation, so a double-submitted order is not a double charge
- One reconciliation view across every provider you run
- Free and open source — read the plugin on GitHub (opens in new tab)
