Paystack is live in South Africa
"Paystack is live in South Africa, and we're super excited to bring our services to even more ambitious brands and businesses on the continent", CEO, Shola Akinlade of Paystack said.
Paystack's API suite helps developers and technical teams build amazing payments experiences.
Over the past six months, we ran a pilot in South Africa and worked very closely with incredible developers and business owners. They helped us appreciate the local commerce landscape and deepen our understanding of your needs.
We also helped hundreds of businesses — tech startups, ecommerce stores, agencies, and creators — get paid online, and built out our team in South Africa to better serve you.
We learnt so much during the pilot, and today, we're thrilled to open our doors to everyone.
