Accept Moniepoint
payments on J2Commerce
Install the free PaymentHood plugin for J2Commerce, connect your Moniepoint account, and Moniepoint appears as a payment option at checkout. No custom gateway code, and no second integration when you add another provider later.

- Cost
- The plugin is free and open source. You pay Moniepoint's own fees, published on their pricing page (opens in new tab). PaymentHood adds nothing on top.

What J2Commerce customers can pay with
Each method Moniepoint supports appears in your J2Commerce checkout. Enabling one is a PaymentHood dashboard setting — nothing changes on the Joomla side.
Bank transfer
Virtual account collection confirmed in real time
Cards
Verve, Mastercard and Visa
Agent network
Cash collection through Moniepoint agents
Connect Moniepoint to J2Commerce
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the J2Commerce installation guide.
Open a Moniepoint account
Register with Moniepoint and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Moniepoint to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your Moniepoint 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 Moniepoint 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
- Signed transaction webhook, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction status re-check before fulfilment
- Credentials
- API credentials exchanged for a bearer token, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your J2Commerce checkout
- Automatic failover when Moniepoint 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)
