Gestpay (Banca Sella)
$39.00

The Italian Payment Gateway Your Joomla Store Has Been Waiting For

GestPay / Axerve by Banca Sella — the checkout Italian buyers recognize and trust — now native on J2Commerce.

Everything Your Italian Ecommerce Store Needs

A complete GestPay / Axerve integration built for Joomla 6. Every feature grounded in what Italian and European merchants actually need at checkout.

Hosted Payment Page

Card data never touches your server. Banca Sella collects it directly on their certified infrastructure. Your PCI scope stays small. Your checkout stays trusted.

Configurable Order-Status Mapping

Map confirmed, pending, and failed payment outcomes to whatever order statuses your fulfilment workflow uses. No hardcoded assumptions, no manual re-routing.

Double-Charge Protection

If the return URL fires twice — back button, dropped connection, anything — the second attempt is blocked. One order, one charge. Always.

11-Currency Support

EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, DKK, NOK, SEK, CAD, JPY, HKD, BRL — every currency GestPay accepts, validated before the gateway call so unsupported currencies surface a clear error, not a mystery fault.

Admin Failure Notifications

When a payment fails, your configured admin group gets an email immediately. Error code, transaction detail, order ID — the information needed to act, without waiting until Monday.

Optional Payment Surcharge

Offset gateway fees with a percentage, a flat amount, or both. Label it as a line item in the cart with a name you choose. Attach a tax profile if your accounting requires taxable fees.

Geozone Restriction

Show GestPay only to buyers in Italy, across the EU, or any geozone you define. International buyers see your other payment options. Clean checkout for every audience segment.

Sandbox Mode

Test every payment scenario against GestPay's test environment before going live. Flip a single toggle when you're ready. No risky live transactions during setup.

Five Lifecycle Message Fields

Custom text at selection, before payment, after success, on error, and a custom button label. Your checkout speaks your language to your Italian buyers at every step.

Card Data Stays at Banca Sella. Always.

The hosted payment page model means your Joomla server is never in the card-handling business. Your customer clicks to pay, lands on the official GestPay / Axerve checkout operated by Banca Sella, enters their card details there, and returns to your store with a confirmed order. The encrypted result is all that ever passes through your infrastructure.

  • PCI scope stays minimal — card data never on your server
  • Banca Sella's certified infrastructure handles card collection
  • Transaction details logged safely — nothing sensitive, nothing that shouldn't be there

Your Workflow. Your Order Statuses. Your Alerts.

Map GestPay's confirmed, pending, and failed outcomes to whatever J2Commerce order statuses power your fulfilment process. And when something goes wrong — a declined card, a gateway error — an immediate admin notification email fires to whoever needs to know. You don't miss a failed payment until you think to look for one.

  • Three status dropdowns — confirmed, pending, failed — fully configurable
  • Instant failure email to your configured admin group
  • Double-charge guard blocks duplicate return-URL processing

Real-World Use Cases

A Milan-based clothing store runs on Joomla. Nearly all buyers are Italian with billing addresses in Italy. The owner sets GestPay as the primary payment method, restricted by an Italy geozone. Italian shoppers see the familiar Axerve checkout — the one they've been using at their insurance provider and utility company for years. A handful of international buyers who discover the store through social media see PayPal instead. Cart abandonment at the payment step drops — not because the product changed, but because the checkout now speaks the buyer's trust language.

An Umbrian food producer sells retail (B2C, immediate card payment) and wholesale (B2B, invoice workflow). GestPay handles the retail side — hosted card payments confirmed instantly, order status routed to "Processing" to trigger warehouse picking. The B2B side uses a separate method. The optional surcharge covers the gateway's variable fee as a named cart line item, so margins stay predictable without repricing any product. Admin failure notifications alert the fulfilment team the moment a card is declined, so no order ships against a payment that didn't go through.

An Italian startup launches a monthly subscription box targeting Italian customers plus English-speaking buyers in Switzerland, Norway, and the UK. The store operates in EUR as the base but allows CHF, NOK, and GBP checkout for the appropriate buyer segments. GestPay supports all four. The plugin validates currency support before the gateway call — Swiss buyers in CHF see a working checkout, and any unsupported currency surfaces a clear error message rather than a cryptic API fault mid-transaction. No surprises for the shopper. No mystery failures in the order log.

Your Italian Customers Recognize This Checkout

Give them the payment page they've been using for years — on the Joomla ecommerce store you built. The only native GestPay / Axerve plugin for J2Commerce 6. It's about time.
