CoinGate adds cryptocurrency checkout to HikaShop
CoinGate for HikaShop adds a CoinGate cryptocurrency payment method to HikaShop checkouts.
This job arises because Joomla itself is a content management system, not an e-commerce platform: it has no native cart, order workflow or payment gateway. HikaShop supplies those shop and payment-method features, but a CoinGate connection still requires a HikaShop payment plugin. According to the listing, this extension sends customers to a CoinGate invoice and handles callbacks, order confirmation, settlement currency and refund-status updates. That goes beyond what Joomla core covers, and beyond a basic HikaShop checkout configuration.
It is aimed at a HikaShop shop that wants to accept the cryptocurrencies supported by CoinGate while potentially receiving euros, dollars or pounds. The listing also describes support for CoinGate's customer data requirements, a sandbox, and dashboard refund synchronization. A conventional store that only accepts cards, bank transfers or locally relevant payment methods has no obvious use for it; neither does a Joomla site without HikaShop.
Before installing, note that this is a paid download, although the listing gives no price. It requires a CoinGate merchant account and an internet-reachable site for callbacks. The developer is Hikari Software Team; the directory shows 83 other extensions from the developer and no reviews for this listing, which is a directory record rather than evidence of quality. Documentation is marked unavailable. Check the support terms, CoinGate account requirements, transaction and refund behaviour, pricing, and the exact Joomla and PHP support you need: the listing claims Joomla 4, 5 and 6 compatibility and PHP 7.4 minimum, but does not explain testing details.
