Creating a payment form for Joomla!

Attention: open in a new window.  Print  E-mail

I've noticed that our Joomla Donation Component is somewhat mislabeled.  Its name implies that it is only for charitable donations.  While I admit that is the reason we first created the software, it has evolved considerable since its birth.  It supports payments of any kind through authorize.net, paypal and other payment gateways.  It does not need to be used only for charitable donations.  In fact, we use it to provide a payment form for our clients to use when settling their invoices with us.  Check out the authorize.net payment form.  This example shows that you can use the software to collect a payment of any kind.  Be it for membership payments, invoice payments or even using it to charge for a user account on your Joomla Web site.  Joomla! can become a powerful eCommerce tool when used correctly and not all solutions require a complex shopping cart checkout process.  You can even use this as a real estate solution to collect rent payments online using Joomla!.  This solution keeps collecting money simple.  If you have any questions about the software's capabilities, please contact us for more information.
