# Getting started

Enhance your VirtueMart online store by integrating the **Unzer Hosted Payment Page (HPP) payment plugin**, enabling you to accept payments through a variety of methods supported by Unzer. Enabling additional payment methods in **Unzer** allows merchants to offer greater flexibility at checkout, catering to diverse customer preferences across regions. This can lead to higher conversion rates, reduced cart abandonment, and improved customer satisfaction by supporting local and global options such as credit cards, PayPal, Klarna, SEPA, and more.

Hosted Payment Page (HPP) is a ready-made Unzer hosted website containing your payment methods mix. When a customer selects the pay-button in your online shop, they are redirected to the Hosted Payment Page. They can then make the payment using their desired option. After the payment is completed they are redirected back to your shop.
