PlanetStudio Payment Gateway allows merchants to accept online payments via Armenian banks, as well as the Idram and Telcell wallet payment systems. This plugin provides the PSPG Core and PayLink payments. Additional platform integrations (such as WooCommerce, GiveWP, WPForms and PayForm) are available as separate add-ons. PlanetStudio Payment Gateway supports multiple Armenian acquiring banks, test and production modes, and provides detailed payment and callback logs in the WordPress admin area. Depending on the selected bank or payment system, merchants may need to obtain API credentials or other access details from their bank or payment provider.

PayLink works independently from e-commerce or donation plugins and can be used for manual payments, invoices, advance payments, or one-time charges. How PayLink works: Administrator creates a PayLink from PSPG → PayLink in the WordPress admin area. A unique payment link is generated for the specified amount and bank. The customer opens the link (or scans a QR code) and is redirected to the bank’s secure hosted payment page. After successful payment, the transaction is finalized and logged in PSPG. PayForm PayForm functionality is available via a separate add-on. The PayForm add-on allows administrators to embed a customizable public payment form using a shortcode and process payments through PSPG-supported banks. Integrations PlanetStudio Payment Gateway provides a Core payment framework. Additional integrations such as WooCommerce, GiveWP, WPForms, PayForm, eHDM (Էլեկտրոնային ՀԴՄ), and Mobile are available as separate add-ons. Getting Started After activating the plugin, go to the PSPG settings page in the WordPress admin area and configure at least one payment provider. To start using the plugin: Install and activate PlanetStudio Payment Gateway. Open PSPG → Settings in the WordPress admin area. Enable at least one payment provider. Enter the credentials provided by your bank or payment provider. Select test mode or live mode depending on your environment. Save the settings. The core plugin includes built-in PayLink functionality and can be used without WooCommerce or other add-ons. How to Test the Plugin The easiest way to test the plugin is using the built-in PayLink feature. Go to PSPG → PayLink in the WordPress admin area. Create a new PayLink by selecting a configured payment provider and entering an amount. Open the generated payment link in your browser. You will be redirected to the payment provider’s hosted payment page. Complete the payment using test credentials (if test mode is enabled). After payment, verify the result and logs in the PSPG admin area. If no payment provider is configured, PayLink and other payment flows will not work. Configuration Notes This plugin requires merchant credentials provided by the selected Armenian bank or payment provider. Depending on the provider, you may need: – test credentials for sandbox/testing – live credentials for production – provider-specific merchant settings WooCommerce, GiveWP, and PayForm integrations are available as separate add-ons and are not required to test the core PayLink functionality. eHDM Fiscal Receipt Integration PlanetStudio Payment Gateway can integrate with the separate PlanetStudio eHDM (Էլեկտրոնային ՀԴՄ) plugin for fiscal receipt handling. eHDM (Էլեկտրոնային ՀԴՄ) is an optional external plugin and is not required for PSPG operation.
