Payment Gateway, overseas to SA

[Shelldon]

Hi all. Can anyone recommend a payment gateway to accept payments from overseas credit and debit cards?

Payfast only works with local banks and PayPal is really expensive after paying their and FNB's fees.

Thanks

Payfast does accept international cards.. but yes, you can only quote and receive payment in ZAR which suck.

You can try 2checkout.com, I’ve always found them to be good

I had a problem with Payfast when an overseas client tried to make a payment, he wasn't able to. When I contacted Payfast support they said they don't facilitate international payments. Do you by any chance accept international payments via Payfast?

Payfast has just been acquired. It's rumoured that multi-currency will be rolled out in future. An alternative is PayStack which might be launching in SA soon.
