ARMember Pagseguro payment gateway Addon

ARMember Pagseguro payment gateway - payment integration for memberships and subscriptions

ARMember Pagseguro payment gateway is an extension that allows you to directly accept PagSeguro payments within the membership system built on ARMember. This solution is designed for owners of membership websites and platforms, online courses, and digital content stores who require local payment gateways that support Brazilian payment methods and the BRL currency.

Key functionalities

• Support for one-time payments and recurring subscriptions via PagSeguro.
• Compatibility with ARMember membership plans - mapping packages and prices to PagSeguro accounts.
• Test (sandbox) and production mode for secure setup and transaction verification.
• Supports typical PagSeguro methods: credit/debit cards, boleto bancario, and other local methods available in PagSeguro.
• Automatic payment status notification and subscription status synchronization (activation, expiration, cancellation).
• Recording transaction history and communication logs with PagSeguro API for auditing and billing.
• Ability to set trial periods, billing periods and how first transaction fees are settled.
• Easy integration via the ARMember panel - no need to modify the theme code.

Advantages of implementation

Implementing the ARMember Pagseguro payment gateway brings both technical and business benefits. Integration with the local PagSeguro gateway improves the user experience for Brazilian users, reduces cart abandonment rates thanks to familiar payment methods, and streamlines the subscription process. Support for recurring payments allows for automatic renewal of memberships without manual intervention from the site owner.

• Improving conversions for the Brazilian market by accepting local payment methods.
• Full control over plans and pricing with ARMember, while maintaining a consistent payment experience.
• Possibility of running promotions, free trial periods and pro-rational billing.
• Reduce risk with sandbox testing and detailed transaction logs.

Applications and use cases

ARMember Pagseguro payment gateway works well in various business models where recurring or one-time payments and content access management are required:

• Online course platforms offering subscriptions and access to learning modules.
• VIP membership sites, discussion clubs, paid communities.
• Stores with digital content (ebooks, videos) sold via access accounts.
• Subscription-based services, such as consulting, subscriptions to premium tools or resources.

Technical requirements and compatibility

The plugin works with a WordPress installation and the ARMember plugin (version compatible with the plugin requirements). Configuration requires a PagSeguro account (API access), setting authorization keys, and specifying preferred payment methods and currency (BRL). It's recommended to use an SSL certificate on your website to secure payment data and improve user confidence.

• Map ARMember plans to PagSeguro payment configuration (pricing, billing period, trial).

The ARMember Pagseguro payment gateway is a practical solution for sites that want to extend their payment methods to PagSeguro and ensure seamless subscription management within the ARMember environment.
