Why VirtueMart Stores Choose PaymentHood
One plugin with real flexibility — no per-provider installs, no recurring fees, no lock-in.
One Plugin, Any Provider
Other solutions require a separate plugin for each payment gateway. PaymentHood gives you all 15+ providers through one unified VirtueMart plugin.
No Plugin Cost
The plugin is completely free. PaymentHood earns only through your payment provider — you pay only the transaction fees set by your chosen gateway.
Sell to Any Market
Reach customers globally by activating region-specific providers like Tap (Middle East), Oxapay (crypto), or PayTabs — without changing your VirtueMart setup.
No Code Required
Works out of the box with any standard VirtueMart installation. No custom development, no webhook setup, no API coding on your end.
VirtueMart-Native Behaviour
Orders, statuses, emails, and refunds all flow through VirtueMart as expected — customers and admins see no difference in the checkout experience.
Switch Providers Anytime
Change your active payment provider from your PaymentHood dashboard without touching VirtueMart. No plugin changes, no reinstallation.
