Connect SeerBit to Phoca Cart
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the Phoca Cart installation guide.
Open a SeerBit account
Register with SeerBit and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from SeerBit to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your SeerBit credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.
Install the plugin
Download the Phoca Cart 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 SeerBit 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 notification, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction query against the SeerBit API before fulfilment
- Credentials
- Public and secret keys exchanged for a bearer token, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your Phoca Cart checkout
- Automatic failover when SeerBit 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)
