Wire up a gateway
Connect a local gateway (PayFast, Yoco, Ozow and friends) so customers can pay by card and EFT on a secure page. Offer a couple of methods.
Offer at least two SA payment methods — card and EFT — so no customer hits a dead end at checkout.
Shipping options and couriers
Decide on courier vs pickup, flat vs calculated rates, and realistic delivery times. Local courier integrations save admin.
Set clear expectations
State delivery times, costs and areas up front. Surprises at checkout cause abandoned carts and complaints.
Key takeaway
Show delivery times, costs and areas up front — surprises at checkout are where sales die.
