Direct bank payment across Bangladeshi banks
Connect SSLCommerz to Phoca Cart
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the Phoca Cart installation guide.
Open a SSLCommerz account
Register with SSLCommerz and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from SSLCommerz to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your SSLCommerz 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 SSLCommerz 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
- Instant Payment Notification with signature validation before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction validation against the SSLCommerz API before fulfilment
- Credentials
- Store ID and store password, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your Phoca Cart checkout
- Automatic failover when SSLCommerz 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)
