Joomla is a fully-featured, open-source, PHP based content management tool with reusable source codes which is used to create powerful dynamic web content and sites. It gives you a multilingual, highly responsive website that works perfectly on any device of any size. It also offers you a plethora of other third-party extensions and plugins to enhance your web experience.
Paytm’s integration with your Joomla platform assists you to accept payments online using Paytm Payment Gateway that facilitates a wider choice of payment options to your customers such as Paytm Wallet, Debit Card, Credit card, Netbanking (supports 3D Secure), and UPI.
Before you begin to integrate the Paytm Payment Gateway on Joomla, make sure you have a registered business account with Paytm. To create the same, refer to the section Generate your API Keys.
Generate your API keys with Paytm
To generate the API Key,
- Log into your Dashboard.
- Select the API Keys under Developers on the left menubar.
- Select the mode for which you want to generate the API Key from the menu.
- Click Generate now to generate a key for the test mode and in case of live mode, first activate the account by submitting documents and then generate the key by clicking the Generate now button.
- You will get the merchant ID and merchant key in response to the above. Please make a note of these to be used further.
Note:
- You have to generate separate API Keys for the test and live modes. No money is deducted from your account in test mode.
