OmegaHood LLC is the company behind PaymentHood, a payment orchestration platform delivered as SaaS.

PaymentHood gives merchants a single API and hosted checkout in place of a separate integration per payment provider. One integration connects to 36 providers across Africa, MENA, Asia, Europe and the Americas — cards, bank transfers, mobile money, wallets and crypto — with routing, retries and reconciliation handled centrally. Ready-made plugins cover WooCommerce, WHMCS, VirtueMart, HikaShop, J2Commerce and Phoca Cart.

Security is built on data minimisation: card details pass directly from the shopper to the merchant's chosen provider, and PaymentHood orchestrates payments using provider-issued tokens alone, so adding PaymentHood introduces no cardholder data into the merchant's environment. Provider credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, every webhook is signed with HMAC-SHA256, and each merchant is isolated by server-side authorization on every request. The service runs on Microsoft Azure.
