- 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.
Making Payments with Payage
The Payage component manages payments and payment gateways, but it does not have a front end user interface and cannot initiate payments. To accept payments you also need a Payage application. Les Arbres Design currently has five Payage applications:
- The Payage Test Component (below) allows you to make test payments but is not suitable for live sites.
- The Payage Plugin (below) creates simple payment buttons in a Joomla Article or Custom HTML Module.
- FlexiContact Plus can build complex custom forms for payment of fixed or calculated amounts.
- MediaShop manages online sales of software and other downloadable media.
- Rentalot Plus manages online bookings for holiday rental properties.
The Payage Component and the Payage Test Component are free. The other extensions mentioned here are not free.

The Payage Plugin
The Payage Plugin makes stand-alone payment buttons in a Joomla article. It is NOT REQUIRED for Payage to do its main job of providing payment services for e-commerce applications. The free component and gateway addons are all you need to use Payage with FlexiContact Plus, Rentalot Plus, MediaShop, or any other extension that uses Payage for its payment processing.
The Plugin is small and light and quick to learn, but has limited fields and doesn't send emails. For more flexibility, check out FlexiContact Plus.
There's an example of the Payage Plugin, in form mode, here. Please see the Payage user guide for detailed usage instructions. We offer several different subscriptions for the plugin. All include support.
