Payment methods

What WHMCS customers can pay with

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

PalmPay wallet

Payment from the customer's PalmPay balance

Bank transfer

Transfer confirmed against the order

Cards

Card payment where enabled on the account

Setup

Connect PalmPay to WHMCS

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

1

Open a PalmPay account

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

2

Add it in PaymentHood

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

3

Install the module

Download the WHMCS module and install it from Apps & Integrations in your WHMCS admin.

4

Enable and test

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

Why PaymentHood

Rather than a direct PalmPay module

A single-provider module works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.

Webhook security
Signed payment notification, validated before an order is released
Payment verification
Server-side transaction status re-check before fulfilment
Credentials
Merchant credentials with request signing, held server-side in PaymentHood
  • Add a second provider without touching your WHMCS checkout
  • Automatic failover when PalmPay 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 module on GitHub
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

They are direct competitors with overlapping but not identical user bases, and neither reaches everyone. Merchants selling to Nigerian consumers at scale typically offer both, which behind PaymentHood costs nothing extra — it is a dashboard toggle against the same integration.

Less so. Its strength is consumer wallets and agent distribution. For business customers, bank transfer and card remain the expected methods.

Card penetration is lower than transfer usage, and card declines are common. A checkout offering a one-time virtual account number — the customer transfers from any bank app and the payment confirms in seconds — will convert materially better than one offering cards alone. It is the single most important local method to enable.

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