Payment methods

What VirtueMart customers can pay with

Each method Razorpay supports appears in your VirtueMart checkout. Enabling one is a PaymentHood dashboard setting — nothing changes on the Joomla side.

UPI

Real-time account-to-account payment, India's dominant method

Cards

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, RuPay and Diners Club

Netbanking

Direct bank payment across Indian banks

Wallets

Indian digital wallet balances

EMI

Card and cardless instalment options

Setup

Connect Razorpay to VirtueMart

Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the VirtueMart installation guide.

1

Open a Razorpay account

Register with Razorpay and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Razorpay to your own bank account.

2

Add it in PaymentHood

Paste your Razorpay credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.

3

Install the plugin

Download the VirtueMart plugin and install it from Extensions → Manage → Install in your Joomla admin.

4

Enable and test

Paste your PaymentHood API key into the plugin settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.

Why PaymentHood

Rather than a direct Razorpay 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
HMAC SHA256 signature on the X-Razorpay-Signature header, verified before an order is released
Payment verification
Server-side payment status re-check against the Razorpay API before fulfilment
Credentials
Key ID and key secret, held server-side in PaymentHood
  • Add a second provider without touching your VirtueMart checkout
  • Automatic failover when Razorpay 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
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

If you sell to Indian consumers, effectively yes. UPI carries the majority of India's digital payment volume and costs less to accept than cards. A card-only Indian checkout loses a large share of orders.

Yes — Razorpay supports a wide range of currencies for international cards, with settlement to your Indian bank account in INR. International acceptance usually needs separate approval, so confirm it before launch.

Generally yes. Razorpay onboards Indian-registered businesses. If you are selling into India without one, a merchant-of-record provider is usually the more practical route.

No. Razorpay bills you directly for its own fees, and PaymentHood takes no percentage and no per-transaction cut at any volume. See PaymentHood pricing.
