Payment Gateways

[Zertop]

Hi All

I am doing a project for a client with a very low monthly subscription (R10/month). Does anybody have any recommendations regarding payment gateways? I usually use payfast, however their R2 fee is quite a large percentage for such small amounts.

Thanks!

Have you contacted Payfast to find out if they're able to offer some sort of discount on the transaction cost?
Next on the list would be SagePay

I haven't yet, I presumed their pricing was fixed. Will do, thanks!

Most are pretty much fixed, quite often 2.5%-3%.

Agreed, but no harm in asking

Hey
if you speak to them they will match the competitor pricing if they feel you will be with them for a long time

Write your own... bank SFTP and then build a subscription module to remind people for the payments or do you want a debit order thing?

Went with paygenius. Used their Dev API and set up my own payment backend. Such a pleasant service, and incredibly affordable.

^ Yea i second paygenius we moved to it from payfast as the fees were killing us.

Doing the math we will save a good couple R100 p/m from payfast.

We integrated into whmcs with their API.

Only thing i dont really like is your money will only be paid out once it hits 5k and if not you cannot request a manual payout via the portal. You need to email them which kind of sucks.

Do they also have the "2 day" delays?

You can schedule 2 days in the week for them to payout and it can take upto 72 hours but the wallet must exceed R5000 to process the payout. if the amount is 5k+ payout is free

Anything below the threshold of R5000 you would need to email them and request an early payout which has a R10 EFT fee.

HI! Unrelated question (sorry). I'm in the process of applying for a paygenius merchant account and the idea would then be to get a developer to integrate it with woocommerce subscriptions. Can you tell me how long the paygenius application takes? Also - what level of support can I expect from paygenius?

 

[adam_g]

Their support isnt bad. Not the best though (usual South Africa)

I think they have a woocommerce plugin already so no need to integrate with their API.
