PayFast Vouchers
PayFast has the ability to dispense vouchers which are redeemable at any PayFast seller. Vouchers can be purchased for yourself or someone else!
A PayFast voucher comes in the form of a 20 digit code sent via SMS or email.
When paying at a site which uses PayFast, just enter this 20 digit code to redeem your voucher. If your purchase is for less than the voucher amount, you will receive a new voucher for the difference.
Note: Voucher use is currently undergoing testing and is not yet available to all users. We will notify all newsletter subscribers once testing has been completed.
