This document explains how to configure payment provider Ginger Payments.
For a walk through the profile in Joomla itself, click Take a Tour in the top bar of the administrator and start the RO Payments Profile: Ginger Payments tour. See Configure an RO Payments profile for the settings every profile has.
Prerequisites
To configure Ginger Payments the following details are required:
- API URL
- API Key
Ginger Payments is not a payment provider itself: it provides the platform several payment providers run on. You enter the API URL and API key of your payment provider.
API URL
EMS was the payment provider on the Ginger Payments platform that RO Payments supported. Its platform has closed, and at the moment there is no other supported payment provider, so the list of API URLs is empty. Custom API URL lets you enter the API URL of another payment provider on the Ginger Payments platform, but RO Payments has not been tested with one.
API Key
The API Key connects the site with your account at the payment provider. You find it in the dashboard of your payment provider, usually under Settings -> API Keys. Paste it in the API Key field.
Description
A description is required to be able to make a payment. The description will help customers identify their payment.
Order Numbers
The Order Number field contains the order number of the payment but this can be changed to use the Order ID.
