EveryPay for JoomShopping by Interoperia

Adding a payment method to a small online store sounds like a one-line job. The customer clicks, pays, done. The hard part comes afterwards, when the customer lands back on your site and the store has to decide whether that order is really paid. Get it wrong and you ship goods on a payment that never cleared, or leave a paid order sitting as pending.

EveryPay for JoomShopping is a plugin for stores built on Joomla and its JoomShopping cart that want to take payments through the payment provider EveryPay. Interoperia, which makes it, builds the whole thing around that return trip. The customer picks EveryPay at checkout, pays on EveryPay's own hosted page and comes back. The plugin then checks the provider's result against the order. Card entry stays on EveryPay's page.

Once the package is installed in Joomla, a guided sequence walks you through four steps: check the store, enter the connection details from your EveryPay merchant account, choose order statuses and run a test. Test and live settings are kept separate, so you can see which one is active.

One detail shows the thinking. If you map paid and pending orders to the same status, the plugin refuses to save and explains why. It's a small thing, but it's exactly the mistake that causes trouble three weeks later. The product page is also frank about what these checks can't tell you: a stored key doesn't prove a working connection, and correct statuses don't prove a completed payment.

The current release is 1.1.23. The listed requirements are Joomla 5, JoomShopping 5.9.4 and PHP 8.1.34 or later, plus cURL with outbound HTTPS to the provider.

The plugin costs €150 once, VAT included, and you buy it through a checkout on the site. That covers the package and 12 months of updates and email support for one website. Renewal is optional at €80 a year and never automatic, and the installed plugin keeps working if you skip it. The code is licensed under GPL version 2 or later, so the one-website limit applies to the support and not to what you may do with the code. You still need your own EveryPay merchant account, and the provider's fees are separate.

Read the testing notes before you buy. Interoperia says its provider check was run on an earlier version, 1.1.14, in an isolated test environment and not on live provider accounts. Version 1.1.23 wasn't tested separately with the provider, and the checks aren't a provider certification. Nothing on the pages says EveryPay or JoomShopping endorses the plugin, so treat it as a third-party integration. There's a refund if it can't be installed in the supported environment and you get in touch within 14 days, which isn't a change-of-mind guarantee. The seller is Velmont SIA, a company registered in Riga, Latvia.

If you run a JoomShopping store and already have an EveryPay merchant account, start in test mode against your own setup. You'll know within an afternoon whether it fits.
