FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Joomla and Phoca Cart versions does the plugin support?
PaymentHood for Phoca Cart requires Joomla 4.0 or higher and a recent stable release of Phoca Cart. It is tested against Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 with the corresponding PHP 8.x requirements.
Does PaymentHood support recurring or subscription payments?
Not at this time. The current version supports one-time checkout payments only. Recurring billing and subscription support is planned for a future release.
How do I get a PaymentHood API key?
Create a free PaymentHood account, connect your chosen payment provider in the dashboard, and generate an API key. Paste that key into the PaymentHood plugin settings inside your Joomla admin.
Can I test payments before going live?
Yes. The plugin includes a sandbox mode toggle. When enabled, all transactions route through your payment provider's test environment so you can verify the full checkout flow without processing real payments.
Will the plugin affect Phoca Cart's order and invoice system?
No. The plugin acts purely as a payment bridge. All standard Phoca Cart functionality โ€” order status updates, PDF invoices, email notifications, and stock management โ€” continues to work exactly as configured.
Is there a cost to use the plugin?
No. The PaymentHood Phoca Cart plugin is free to download and use. You pay only the transaction fees charged by your chosen payment provider โ€” there are no additional fees from PaymentHood.
Can I switch payment providers without reinstalling the plugin?
Yes. Provider switching happens entirely in your PaymentHood dashboard. Just activate a different provider there โ€” the Joomla plugin and Phoca Cart configuration remain unchanged.
