Payage is a free Joomla component dedicated to the management of payments and payment gateways.

Payage only deals with payments. It is not a shopping cart or a booking system. Payage is simply the best way for Joomla e‑commerce applications to integrate with payment gateways.

• Payage supports any number of gateways and any number of applications.
• It simplifies payment management for business owners.
• It simplifies application code, making applications more reliable.
• It simplifies the process of adding and maintaining payment gateways.
• It simplifies testing and troubleshooting.
• It includes comprehensive reports and charts.
• It has a well documented API.
• It's free and all the gateway addons are free.

Payage currently supports the following payment methods:

	PayPal is quick and easy to use for customers who already have a PayPal account. It also accepts payment by credit or debit card.
	With Stripe, customers remain on your site to pay. It must be an https site, but it does not have to be PCI compliant because no card data flows to your server.
	With Authorize.Net, customers remain on your site to pay. It must be an https site, but it does not have to be PCI compliant because no card data flows to your server.
	Payplug is a French payment gateway that accepts payment by many bank and credit cards. It can be used by any merchant in the European Union.
	Barclaycard ePDQ Essential is a hosted payment page solution that accepts payment by many debit and credit cards.
	Mollie is a Dutch payment gateway that accepts payment via iDEAL, Credit Card, Bancontact/Mister Cash, SOFORT Banking, Bank transfer, Bitcoin, PayPal, and paysafecard.
	SagePay Form Integration is a hosted payment page solution that accepts payment by many debit and credit cards, and PayPal.
	WorldPay HTML Redirect Integration is a hosted payment page solution that accepts payment by many debit and credit cards.
	With WorldPay Online, customers remain on your site to pay. It must be an https site, but it does not have to be PCI compliant because no card data flows to your server.
	Skrill accepts payment by Skrill account or credit and debit cards.
	BitPay is one of the most popular Bitcoin payment gateways. Customers remain on your site to pay, and you receive settlement the next day in any combination of money or Bitcoin.
	Payage also supports manual, or "Offline" payments, where the payment process is completed manually. You can use this to implement payment by bank transfer, phone, cheque, or cash.

To install Payage, install the Payage Component first, then whichever gateway addon(s) you require. Please read the user guide for information about setting up Payage, and your specific gateway. The Payage test Component is useful for making test payments when setting up a new system. 

The Payage Article Plugin can be used to create fixed payment buttons in articles. It is a very simplistic way to collect money but can be useful in some cases.

Documentation

All users of Payage should read the Payage User Guide. If you would like to accept payment with Bitcoin but are new to Bitcoin, please read the Payage Bitcoin Tutorial. The Payage Developer Guide is only of interest to experienced PHP programmers who wish to use Payage to support payments in their own Joomla components, or who wish to add a new gateway to Payage.
