You may connect PayFast with your eCommerce store and get paid after registering for a free PayFast account. This blog post will walk you through integrating PayFast via Flutterwave with a few of the most popular platforms.
Shopify
With how simple it is to get up and running, Shopify is one of the most accessible eCommerce platforms to sell on. Shopify allows everyone to sell online, from small business owners to huge organisations. You can effortlessly add and organise your products, services, or digital downloads, customise your store with one of the hundreds of themes (or create your own look-and-feel) and handle all elements of online trade professionally. Then, add (or purchase) your store’s domain name, and you’re ready to sell.
Once you set up your Shopify store, you’ll need to choose a payment gateway in South Africa.
WooCommerce
WooCommerce is a free, open-source eCommerce plugin for WordPress that allows you to transform your website into an online store. It has evolved to be the most popular eCommerce plugin for WordPress since its launch in 2011, with a plethora of strong features and extensions available. Detailed shipping, tax, and price customisation, as well as connectivity with thousands of WordPress themes, are just a few examples.
You will be required to set up your payment gateway as part of the process of setting up your WooCommerce store. Watch the video below for step-by-step instructions on integrating PayFast with your WooCommerce store in under three minutes.
Xero
Xero is cloud-based accounting software that millions of individuals worldwide rely on to operate their small businesses. You can generate invoices, create expense claims, and monitor your cash flow with Xero from your computer or mobile device. By connecting PayFast with your Xero account, you will be able to create an invoice with a PayFast’ Pay Now’ button, allowing your customers to settle their invoices conveniently.
Xero also connects with various prominent eCommerce platforms, including WooCommerce, Ecwid, Shopify, PrestaShop, and Magenta, allowing invoice data to be exported to Xero in real-time for accurate reporting.
‘Pay Now’ Buttons & Payment Requests
If you don’t have a website, the two most straightforward and quickest ways to get paid online are Payment Requests and the ‘Pay Now’ buttons. A Payment Request sends an email containing a ‘Pay Now’ link to your customer’s email address, so it’s a nifty solution if you don’t have a website to receive online payments through. On the other hand, the ‘Pay Now’ buttons are straightforward to generate and can be embedded on your website or email so your customers can quickly pay you.
Both of these features can be generated from your PayFast dashboard. Simply log in to your PayFast account and click the ‘Generate’ button next to the solution you wish to create on the PayFast dashboard homepage, and then enter the required information. For more details of each, look at the Payment Request and ‘Pay Now’ Buttons web pages.
