Hi Bubble Family, I am new to Bubble and loving it so far. I would like to know what payment gateways are available in South Africa on Bubble? I believe the PayPal Checkout plugin works however, are there any better alternatives? Thank you!

Hi Leonidas, PayGate does work quite well but I’ve only done the basic HTML Pay Now buttons; I’d still like to learn how to fully integrate it and receive the payment status (“Successful”) etc. Did you maybe find a way that works?

Hi @mccjon . I’ve also experimented with the HTML pay buttons (with PayPal), but like you say, you can’t receive a Payment Status when using those, which is very important. I’d only use HTML pay buttons for something like donations where Payment Status isn’t important. To receive Payment Status, you …

Hi Leonidas, Thanks so much for your reply! I’ll give the API a go (always seems like to much trial and error); I’m keen to see how PayFast’s Bitcoin payment implementation works as well. I’ve had a look at Atlas and I think it’s an amazing product, but I’ll only do that once the app shows some r…

Only a pleasure. Yea I know right. I have a friend who will set it up for you for an affordable price. This is his website . I got a quote from him for about R2500 if I remember correctly. Yes, that is true. I have one project of my own which is going well, but I’ve mainly been developing apps for…

Hi @mccjon and @leonidas.petrou4 Did you ever manage to setup the payfast API into Bubble. I’ve got the button too and I want to validate something. By Virtue of the success url and cancel url’s requested when creating the button, is that not sufficient confirmation that the transaction was finaliz…

Hi @teddykoka , @mccjon and @leonidas.petrou4 Any resolution to the payment gateway in South Africa? My initial research resulted in a number of possible providers PayFast being one of them. Looking to see how this was concluded and whether implementing was a breeze with them or which alternative pr…

Hi Theodore, I ended up just using PayPal, they also have a subscriptions plugin. However, you can set up PayGate, PayFast or Peach Payments using the API Connector (this is if you want to charge in Rands because your customers are only in SA). I never set this up but I don’t think it would be too d…

Hi Leonidas, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately PayFasts API integration is only available for recurring billing. Which is not a solution we require. We’re looking at other options in the meantime. PayGate has a great package price wise (PayGate Plus), we’re looking at integrating with them and ru…

Hi @theodore Any updates on this yet? This would be super helpful to see how to integrate it.

Paystack.com offer gateway service in Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana (Africa only). However, they were recently acquired by Stripe so that country restriction may likely change. My understanding is that - while PayPal services South Africa - it places lengthy holds on payments before funds are rel…
