### Chapter 2

# Overview

Payage is a Joomla Component. The back end enables administrators to configure payment gateway accounts and view payments. Payage mostly works unseen, in the background, but it does offer a front end Invoice Request page that users can use to download an invoice for a transaction. Payments must be initiated by a separate application, for example one of the Payage applications mentioned in the previous section.
