Integrations Overview
Integrations consist of Payment Gateways, Modules, Plugins, and Messengers.
Payment Gateways
Payment Gateways in Blesta enable secure processing of one-time and recurring payments, integrating seamlessly with your billing workflows. Blesta supports both Merchant and Non-Merchant gateways. Merchant gateways allow clients to pay with credit cards or other methods directly within Blesta’s interface, ensuring a smooth checkout experience. Non-Merchant gateways redirect clients to the payment processor’s website to complete transactions. With support for popular gateways like PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.net, Blesta offers flexible configuration options, including currency support, fraud prevention, and refund processing, empowering businesses to manage payments efficiently.
Modules
Modules in Blesta enable seamless integration with external services and systems to automate the provisioning, management, suspension, unsuspension, and cancellation of services via remote APIs. They act as bridges between Blesta and third-party platforms, such as server control panels (e.g., cPanel, Plesk), virtualization platforms (e.g., VirtFusion), or domain registrars (e.g., Enom, Namecheap). Modules support advanced features like service upgrades/downgrades, usage monitoring, and client-facing management tools. By automating service activation and lifecycle tasks, modules streamline operations, reduce manual intervention, and enhance efficiency for hosting providers and businesses.
Plugins
Plugins in Blesta extend the platform’s core functionality by adding customizable features and tools tailored to specific business needs. They enable seamless integration of additional capabilities, such as support ticketing, knowledgebase management, order forms, or client portals. Popular plugins like the Support Manager and Order System allow businesses to streamline customer service, enhance sales processes, or add advanced reporting. Plugins are easy to install and configure, with options for automation, custom workflows, and integration with third-party tools, empowering users to adapt Blesta to their unique operational requirements.
Messengers
Messengers in Blesta facilitate automated, real-time communication with clients and staff through various channels, enhancing engagement and operational efficiency. They integrate with external messaging platforms, such as email services, SMS providers (e.g., Twilio), or other notification systems, to deliver invoices, payment reminders, service updates, or support ticket notifications. Messengers support customizable templates and conditional logic for personalized messaging, ensuring timely and relevant communication. With flexible configuration, Messengers help businesses maintain strong client relationships and streamline notification workflows.
