Questions and answers about the joomdonation integration
Is there a Payrexx plugin for joomdonation?
joomdonation offers a paid Payrexx payment plugin that you purchase in the provider's shop and then install in Joomla. This means that the entire donation process, including payment, takes place within your Joomla website. The setup is described in the Payrexx documentation.
How do you install the Payrexx plugin in Joom Donation?
After purchasing the plugin, navigate to "Joom Donation > Payment Plugins" in the Joomla backend and scroll to the bottom of the page. Click on "Install new Plugin", select the plugin file via "Choose File" and start the installation. After that, Payrexx will appear in the list of available payment plugins.
Which data from Payrexx do you need for the activation?
To activate, you will need your instance name and an API key from Payrexx. You can create the key in the merchant administration under "API and Integrations" by clicking on "Add API Key" in the "Add API Integration" section. You then enter both details in the plugin settings at JoomDonation.
Does the Payrexx plugin also work with Events Booking or Membership Pro?
In addition to Joom Donation, JoomDonation develops other Joomla extensions such as Events Booking, Membership Pro, EShop and OS Services Booking, for each of which separate payment plugins are offered. It is best to check directly in the JoomDonation shop whether the Payrexx plugin is available for your specific extension.
Can you process recurring donations with Payrexx via Joomla?
Joom Donation supports both one-time donations and recurring donations, and Payrexx offers recurring payments and subscriptions for this. This allows you to collect funding contributions or memberships automatically, instead of requesting each contribution individually.
Which payment methods can your donors use?
With Payrexx, all relevant payment methods are available in your donation forms with a single acceptance contract – including TWINT, which is particularly widespread in Switzerland: Mastercard, Visa, AMEX, Maestro, PayPal, Apple Pay, TWINT, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, PostFinance Card, Invoice, bank transfer, Centi, HeidiPay, WIRpay, Masterpass, Reka and Klarna. Which methods are displayed depends on which ones you have activated in your Payrexx account.
Which Payrexx plan do you need for JoomDonation?
The integration into joomdonation is available in the Payrexx STANDARD and PREMIUM plans and is not included in the free plan. You can see which features are included in each plan on the pricing page.
Are there any additional fees for the Payrexx plugin with joomdonation?
The payment plugin is offered by joomdonation for a fee, which is why one-time or license-dependent costs are incurred with the provider. Payrexx itself does not charge any additional fees for the integration, but charges a commission per transaction, which can be seen on our pricing page.
How are the donations collected via Joomla paid out to you?
Payrexx pays out the donations received via your Joomla website directly to your specified bank account. The payout takes place at regular intervals, with transaction fees already deducted. You can find out how payouts work in detail in our documentation.
How secure is Payrexx for your organisation and your donors?
If you process your donations via joomdonation and Payrexx, every transaction is secured according to the highest global security standard for payment data: Payrexx is fully PCI DSS Level 1 certified. Personal data, both yours and that of your customers, is stored in compliance with GDPR. The 3-D Secure process adds an additional layer of identification to payments, thereby minimising fraud risks and chargebacks.
