# Installing the Component

First, install the Payage component using the Joomla Extension Manager in the usual way.

The Payage component does not include any payment gateways. You need to download and install the gateways you require. The About page in the back end of Payage shows which gateways are installed, and their versions.

Following installation, you will find a new administrative component called "Payage", where you can manage your gateway accounts and view your payments.

You may also wish to install the Payage Test component, which enables you to make test payments. This can be especially useful if you are inexperienced with payment gateways, or are experiencing any difficulties. The Test component should not be made accessible to public users.

If you wish to use the Payage Plugin to create payment buttons in Joomla articles, you must purchase, download, and install the plugin separately, and enable it in the Joomla Plugin Manager.
