PayLink (Payment by Link / QR)

PlanetStudio Payment Gateway includes a PayLink feature that allows administrators
to create payment links (including QR-based flows) manually and send them to customers
via email, messengers, or any other communication channel.

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.

HayPost Shipment Tracking

HayPost shipment tracking is available via a separate add-on for WooCommerce.

The HayPost Tracking Add-on detects HayPost tracking numbers stored in WooCommerce fulfillments, synchronizes shipment events in the background, and displays the current delivery progress and tracking timeline on the customer’s order page.

The add-on does not create shipments or tracking numbers. The shipment must already be registered with HayPost, and its tracking number must be added to the WooCommerce order.

Integrations

PlanetStudio Payment Gateway provides a Core payment framework.

Additional integrations such as WooCommerce, GiveWP, WPForms, PayForm, eHDM (Էլեկտրոնային ՀԴՄ), HayPost Tracking, 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:

1. Install and activate PlanetStudio Payment Gateway.
2. Open PSPG → Settings in the WordPress admin area.
3. Enable at least one payment provider.
4. Enter the credentials provided by your bank or payment provider.
5. Select test mode or live mode depending on your environment.
6. 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.

1. Go to PSPG → PayLink in the WordPress admin area.
2. Create a new PayLink by selecting a configured payment provider and entering an amount.
3. Open the generated payment link in your browser.
4. You will be redirected to the payment provider’s hosted payment page.
5. Complete the payment using test credentials (if test mode is enabled).
6. 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
