Some of you might have already noticed, but we recently added the Ubercart module to our Shopping Carts page, with links to download the plugin free of charge. Ubercart is an open-source eCommerce solution, which is integrated into the Drupal content management system.

100,000 Registered PayFast Users!
We’re all pretty excited about 2012 here at PayFast – and the year has only just begun! This week we reached a pretty significant company milestone: we are happy to say that we now have more than 100,000 successful PayFast registrations!
Considering we’ve only been in operation for less than 5 years and that online shopping is yet to really take off in South Africa, we think this is really a great accomplishment. We even made a little graph, above, to show how things are taking off.
PayFast WHMCS 5.0 module updated
WHMCS has evolved to version 5.0, and we’re happy to announce that we’ve updated the (free) PayFast plugin to be compatible with this new version.

- Extra (and customisable) widgets
- Automated email marketing
- New support tools
- Bulk domain management

mimoney and PayFast
We’re happy to announce that you can now process and purchase mimoney with PayFast. mimoney is a mobile payment method, supported by Standard Bank, which enables you to make online transactions without the need for a debit/credit card or even a bank account.
mimoney has partnered with over 20 big stores (including TAKEALOT, Look & Listen, Incredible Connection and Mr Delivery) which all currently accept the currency. In addition to these, online shoppers can now use this digital currency at the thousands (and counting) of PayFast merchants.
PayFast on WooCommerce for WordPress!
It just got a little easier for WordPress (or more precisely Woothemes) sites to connect with clients through WooCommerce – a plugin application with lots of great features and customisable themes – and turn their sites into easy to use e-commerce platforms.
WooCommerce is a great way for businesses to quickly and professionally build a professional online shopping site, without the technical know-how (and headaches) of traditional e-Commerce platforms.
