This initiative paves the path for PayFast to offer a dynamic and secure payment gateway with user friendly UI/UX, thereby facilitating businesses to offer the acceptance of online payments through debit and credit cards.
Further, the integration helps expand PayFast’s SoftPos initiative, which will enhance digital payment acceptance for merchants of all scales by introducing augmented solutions for them to collect online payments.
