Payment Plugins

When subscribers sign up for your subscription plan, if the plan is a paid subscription plan (price > 0), subscribers will have to pay for the subscription to become active subscriber in the system.

In order to receiving online payment from your subscribers, you will need to config Membership Pro to use the payment plugins you want. When you install Membership Pro, there are 4 payment plugins installed with it by default: Paypal (Paypal payment standard), *Authorize.net (AIM), Eway and Offline Payment.

To access to Payment Pluginsmanagement page, there are 3 different ways:

1. Access to Components => Membership Pro => Payment Plugins
2. Access to Membership Pro Dashboard, then click on Payment Plugins icon.
3. On any pages in Membership Pro, access to Payment Plugins menu item

Right now, we only have 5 payment plugins support recurring payment feature. It is: Paypal, Paypal Pro, Authorize.net and Stripe, Mollie. All other payment plugins only support onetime payment

When subscribers sign up for a recurring subscription plan, only recurring payment plugins are available for them to select. For example, even you publish Eway plugin, it will still not available on subscription form of recurring subscription plan because Eway plugin doens't support recurring payment.

Sometime, you will need to use a payment plugin which doesn't come with Membership Pro by default. In this case, you might have to purchase these payment plugins at https://joomdonation.com/payment-plugins/membership-pro-payment-plugins.html (if it is available) or develop it yourself (or hire someone to develop it for you).

2. Scroll to bottom of the page.
3. Click on Choose File button to browse for the payment plugin.
4. Click on Install button to process the installation.
