Flutterwave and Paystack on Shopify
South African Shopify merchants have two strong payment providers available through UnumPay: Flutterwave and Paystack. Both support South African merchant accounts and cover the payment methods local customers expect.
Flutterwave
Flutterwave is a leading African payment provider that supports card payments, bank transfers, mobile money, and QR payments across South Africa and the wider continent. It is well suited to merchants who sell both locally and across other African markets.
- Supported currency: ZAR and multi-currency
- Best for: Merchants selling across South Africa and other African markets
Paystack
Paystack is a widely used African payment gateway supporting cards, instant EFT, Capitec Pay, and Apple Pay. It is known for a smooth checkout experience and strong reliability for South African online stores.

Payment Methods for South African Shoppers
Through Flutterwave and Paystack, your Shopify store can accept the payment methods South African customers use most:
Offering more than one method at checkout reduces drop-off and ensures customers always find a way to pay that works for them.
Accept ZAR Locally and International Currencies from Cross-Border Buyers
South African merchants often sell to both local buyers paying in ZAR and international customers paying in other currencies. Flutterwave and Paystack both handle ZAR transactions for local buyers, and multi-currency support lets you serve cross-border customers from the same checkout.
Running both providers through UnumPay means you can route transactions and keep a complete checkout experience for every customer.
