Authorize Now, Capture When You Ship
High-Value B2B
A store selling commercial gear authorizes at checkout and captures when items ship, with a $200 minimum so Elavon stays off small accessory orders.
Your Store Doesn't Touch the Card.
Neither Does Your Liability.
Card fields come from Elavon, so card data never passes through your server. The Elavon payment plugin for J2Commerce ships with a saved-card vault, renewals for subscription products, and admin refund controls that don't require a separate portal.

Everything Your Elavon Checkout Needs
Card data stays off your server, with saved cards, renewals for subscription products, admin controls and 21 languages.
On-Site Hosted Fields
Elavon renders the card fields in your buyer's browser and your server receives a token, which keeps your PCI scope at SAQ-A.
Hosted Checkout Redirect
Flip one switch and buyers go to Elavon's payment page instead. No embedded card form on your site at all. Same SAQ-A protection, different presentation. Subscription orders switch automatically to on-site mode when they need card saving.
Saved Card Vault
Returning customers pick a saved card stored in Elavon's vault, and can add, delete or set a default card from their account.
Renewals for Subscription Products
For products sold with the Subscriptions And Memberships app, the first checkout saves the card for recurring charges and each renewal is charged automatically. Free trials save the card without charging.
Admin Refund & Void
Refund in full or in part from the order screen, or void an unsettled authorization. If a void arrives after settlement, the plugin issues a full refund instead.
Admin Charge Saved Card
Charge a customer's saved card from the order screen for phone orders, with each charge logged in the order history.
Sale or Authorize-Then-Capture
Charge immediately at checkout, or hold the funds and capture when the item ships. For high-value orders, hold and confirm stock before any money moves. Your fulfillment workflow, your call.
Geozone & Subtotal Rules
Show Elavon only in chosen regions and only for orders within your minimum and maximum subtotal.
Surcharge Recovery
Add a named surcharge as a percentage, a fixed amount or both, with an optional tax class. It appears as a line item when Elavon is selected.
Webhook Re-Fetch Verification
When Elavon sends a webhook, the plugin fetches the transaction again to confirm its real status, so a forged webhook cannot confirm a payment.
Dashboard Health Warnings
Your J2Commerce dashboard warns you when sandbox mode is on or credentials are missing.
21 Languages Included
Includes the 21 J2Commerce languages, and you can change any wording with Joomla language overrides.
SAQ-A: Card Data Stays Off Your Server
When card data passes through your server, your server is in PCI DSS scope.
Hosted Fields removes your server from the picture entirely. Card data goes from browser to Elavon. Your PHP gets a token. Keeping your server out of the card data path is what SAQ-A eligibility depends on.
- Card fields rendered in browser by Elavon's hosted script
- Single-use token returned, never raw card data
- Your database never stores a card number
- Hosted Checkout redirect mode for zero-iframe setups
Card data goes to Elavon.
Your server gets a token.
Admin Order Controls That Don't Require a Second Tab
Every payment action you'll need for an Elavon order is right there on the J2Commerce order screen. Refund without opening a portal. Void before settlement. Charge a saved card for a phone order. The payment balance panel shows you the running math at a glance.
Edge cases are handled automatically. If a void attempt finds the transaction already settled, the plugin catches the specific error and falls back to a full refund instead of returning an error, and logs it in the order history.
- Full and partial refund from the order screen
- One-click void for unsettled authorizations
- Capture authorized payments when you're ready to ship
- Charge saved cards for phone and manual orders
- A void after settlement falls back to a refund
Refund, void, capture and charge
from one screen.
Renewals for Subscription Products
The first time a subscriber checks out, the plugin establishes the card as a recurring Card-on-File credential. Each renewal is charged automatically, with no card re-entry or re-authorization popup.
Free trials vault the card at zero charge so the first real billing cycle runs without interruption. Cancel a subscription and the stored card simply stops being charged.
- Card-on-File established at first checkout
- Renewal charges fire automatically each billing cycle
- Free trials save the card without charging
- Works with products from the Subscriptions And Memberships app
Saved at the first checkout,
charged at each renewal.

Use Cases

Instant Checkout, Custom Confirmation
Digital Downloads

Surcharge Recovery, Zero Hidden Fees
Specialty Food

Tax class matches the store's fee rules. Customers see it upfront. The store recovers gateway costs without inflating product prices.
