Accept Quidax
payments on J2Commerce

- Billing models
- One-time checkout payments. Recurring billing is not supported by the J2Commerce plugin yet.
- Cost
- The plugin is free and open source. You pay Quidax's own fees, published on their pricing page (opens in new tab). PaymentHood adds nothing on top.
Coverage, currencies and payment methods as published by Quidax, who set and update them. For the current list see Quidax's own documentation (opens in new tab).
What J2Commerce customers can pay with
Each method Quidax supports appears in your J2Commerce checkout. Enabling one is a PaymentHood dashboard setting — nothing changes on the Joomla side.
Stablecoins
USDT and USDC, paired against African local currencies

Connect Quidax to J2Commerce
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the J2Commerce installation guide.
Open a Quidax account
Register with Quidax and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Quidax to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your Quidax 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 Quidax 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 event callback, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction status re-check before fulfilment
- Credentials
- API key held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your J2Commerce checkout
- Automatic failover when Quidax 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)
