Alternative to Monsterpay

[Hamish McPanji]

We have been using monsterpay for a number of years already, but need to change.

The volumes are not high, and are just a supplement to our physical sales, and allows people from outlaying areas to order from us if they don't have a local store that stocks our product.

1. We don't want to have to pay monthly fees
2. The pricing needs to be transaction based
3. We are not using a shopping cart app, but were using the monsterpay shopping cart (cart buttons/pics on our site), so need something very similar.

Thanks

We use MyGate, it has a monthly fee but it includes 150 transactions


Classic
150 Free
transactions per month

R250 Setup Fee
R270 Monthly Fee
2 Free Users
R1.80 per transaction

I think provider that charge per transaction only charge more. So the MyGate option would be better if you are doing around 100 transactions per month

We do maybe 2-3 transactions a month. So the monthly fees would not be advisable

I'm also investigating a service for low volumes / start up and found FastPay. https://www.payfast.co.za/fees/
I've not done more investigation than this

+1 for PayFast, definitely the way to go.
