PayFast is proud to be a sponsor of the excellent NPO initiative — which strives to advance the quantity and quality of tech startups in Cape Town — known as Silicon Cape. The 2012 event happens on Tuesday, October 23 from 17:00 to 23:00 at Trinity in Cape Town.
We’re keeping busy with our designs, redesigns, additions and improvements over here at PayFast. Last week we updated our Cause index, which now looks like this:
We created Cause accounts three years ago to help registered charities, NGOs and many other charitable causes with their fundraising efforts. We provide them with a free webpage, hosted by us, and discounted rates on the donations they receive. It’s our little way of helping out and giving back where we can. We’re still providing this amazing service; it only got a little prettier and more useful.
It’s been a big year for eCommerce in South Africa. More and more shops are moving online and an increasing amount of them are exclusively selling online. The eCommerce Awards is a local initiative – currently in its seventh year – to recognise and reward the very best South African eCommerce websites.
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.
This post is somewhat after the fact, and I’m sure those interested have already seen the module on our site, but just in case, CubeCart 5 has been released and a PayFast payment module for the new version has also been provided free of charge on our site.
Our online registration process makes it easy for you to sign up for an Individual, Business or Cause account.
