RO Payments in VirtueMart

With the RO Payments - VirtueMart addon you can add a VirtueMart payment method for each payment method you want to offer, for example iDEAL and credit card, each with its own profile.

Install the addon as described in Installation RO Payments, and create a profile first.

Add a payment method

  1. Go to VirtueMart -> Shop -> Payment Methods
  2. Click New
  3. Enter the Payment Name, set Published to Yes and choose RO Payments - VirtueMart as Payment Method
  4. Click Save
  5. On the Configuration tab:
    • Profile alias: the profile to pay with
    • Payment Method: the payment method of the profile. Save once after choosing the profile to load its payment methods. Choose Use payment provider selection screen to let the customer choose at the payment provider.
    • Order identifier: whether the order number or the order ID is sent to RO Payments
    • Always Update Order: see below
    • Logos, Accepted currency, Countries, Minimum amount, Maximum amount, Cost per transaction, Percentage of the order total and Tax: the usual VirtueMart settings of a payment method
  6. Click Save & Close

Repeat these steps for every payment method you want to offer.

Order statuses

The statuses RO Payments installs use the codes of the VirtueMart order statuses, such as C for Confirmed and X for Cancelled. Choose them on the Status tab of the profile, or make your own, see Manage order statuses.

By default VirtueMart orders are only updated for a confirmed or a cancelled payment. Set Always Update Order to Yes to update the order for every result.

The message after paying

When the customer comes back, VirtueMart shows the result message of RO Payments for the result of the payment.

Disabled payment methods

A payment plugin that is disabled in VirtueMart can still be enabled in Joomla, and the other way around. See Error when returning to the website using VirtueMart.
