South African Payment Gateway integrations
under review
O
Onno Vrijburg
Hi, I have a few customers in South Africa and right now there is no way for them to actually accept payments through GHL as Stripe is not available in South Africa and as far as I could see PayPal does not allow linking to a South African Bank Account. Your new (planned) integration with Authorize.net is also not an option as it's also not available in South Africa. Could you please consider adding one of the payment gateways in this article ( https://sashares.co.za/payment-gateways/#gs.hl6esj ) so my customers can take payments through GHL.

I have linked my Payfast account - but have heard horror stories. Paypal also linked but my friends account was blocked again without reason and I had it before and they expensive. Which is best PAYFAST OR PAYSTACK?

Renee WRIGHT
also i see i need to pay R99 a month - thought it was included... IS PAYFAST AND PAYSTACK OK FOR Global payments.

What do people to do now to invoice clients automatically on the system and how do subaccounts currently pay for products on the system

Hi all, the new GHL Payfast app now supports both once-off and recurring payments in South Africa.

Nathan Admin (@me.com) Hi Nathan, what you mean it no longer works? I have heard it is a problem from another group. Do you know how to automate a button - eg. I am linking POLAR.SH payment gateway (Stripe Express - for digital products, which South Africans can use - transferring income to Wise account not SA).

Hi, I see there is a paystack option for my sub accounts to use. If I install it to their sub accounts, is there going to be a charge for it? I see it is free now, but I can't have them all using it then suddenly there is a charge for it?

Conor Mcelligott
Kevin Pohl thanks for the reply. Can I not just charge them for their subscriptions and then agency pays the R99? My other question is - say I have a client that is building a store for a client. She integrates Paystack for that store. But then wants to build another store for a different client. She can’t then integrate a different business? Does this mean that each o line store creates needs their own sub account?

This is extremely frustrating. I signed up for the starter plan, hoping to start scaling from there to the higher package options, but with there being no way for South African currencies to be accepted like Yoco or Payfast, how would you be able to show your clients a propoer use case and upsell?

Kevin Pohl But i still get "pending" on my orders on a regular basis so the integration is very glitchy. Any idea when that might work seamlessly?

Kevin Pohl Hi Kevin, I am on The VanX white label version of High Level, and i have problems about 15% of the time getting payments thru. I have reached out to both GHL and Paystack/payfast and the problem persists. I run most of my marketing business off GHL/VanX with Paystack/payfast and FB/Insta.

Kevin Pohl Hi what is the link for Discord?

Why isn't Paystack available on the starter package? Do I have to upgrade to get this app installed?
N
Nicola Savage
Debbie Hartmann I agree with this. how are we supposed to grow in developing markets if can can't get simple local online payment gateways? Did you find a solution or an answer?
D
Debbie Hartmann
Nicola Savage I am forced to use Paypal but not happy with it. Many issues with them because my company is not registered in USA. And GHL is not willing to put Paystack on the lower package. Really making it difficult for us.

Joanita van Wyk
Kevin Pohl Yoco is also a great local option. Has there been any progress on this front as this is the only thing keeping me from upgrading and marketing to South African clients now
J
Joanita van Wyk
Debbie Hartmann Paypal is so much drama. I would much rather prefer Yoco or Payfast, I am sure my clients too

Please include Paystack. Pan-African payment gateway. Some of the ones in the list is quite expensive for South African businesses.

Mark Alfred Mack
Kevin Pohl thanks for your message. Found it. I am unable to install it. This is free until October but now I am requested to upgrade. Please help as I want to install it today. Thanks Mark

Mark Alfred Mack
Kevin Pohl thanks. Sorted.

Anel Korsten
Kevin Pohl What do "Free till October" and SaaS Mode and Rebilling mean? And also, on which plans of GHL is it available? On all plans or only on the unlimited and agency plans?
Sorry for the 20 questions.
J
Joanita van Wyk
Kevin Pohl Its not available on the starter option though?

Johan Agency Lottering
Oh, this is excellent news. I've been begging for a South African payment gateway integration since the early days of GHL. Please get it up and running ASAP.
M
Mark Alfred Mack
Kevin Pohl Due to Paystack payment gateway not being available on GHL I have decided not to use GHL in South Africa. No use using an app that has barriers / constraints in generating income in South Africa. Will not be joining GHL until this issue is sorted. Regards Mark

Johan Agency Lottering
Kevin Pohl, I cannot get it installed as it needs a card for the sub account, Unless I miss something I cannot add card details in the sub account before I connect to stripe.

Any feedback/update on this?

They're really slow on getting this done

Kevin Pohl Any progress? its now 30 days later. Hopefully you guys have managed to get this so it can go live. We are battling on Agency level in South Africa.

Rochelle Annette Muller
Kevin Pohl Thank you for all that you are doing for us in SA! cannot wait for it to be released, will be sooo sooo glad.
