What J2Commerce customers can pay with
Each method Bizum supports appears in your J2Commerce checkout. Enabling one is a PaymentHood dashboard setting — nothing changes on the Joomla side.
Bank app confirmation
Customer approves the payment inside their own Spanish banking app
Refunds
Refundable through the same scheme for up to a year after the payment
Connect Bizum to J2Commerce
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the J2Commerce installation guide.
Open a Bizum account
Register with Bizum and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Bizum to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your Bizum 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 Bizum 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
- Where a signing secret is configured, the PPRO-Signature header is verified as an HMAC-SHA256 over the timestamp and the exact raw body, inside a five-minute replay window; PPRO's older non-HMAC header is refused outright
- Payment verification
- Status comes from re-reading the charge at PPRO rather than from the callback — PPRO's webhooks are configured per account and carry no merchant reference, so the server-side poll is what authorises fulfilment
- Credentials
- PPRO Global API bearer key plus a Merchant-Id header, held server-side in PaymentHood and never exposed to the storefront — sandbox and live keys are separate, and each is rejected by the other environment
- Add a second provider without touching your J2Commerce checkout
- Automatic failover when Bizum 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)
