Give PayFast Payment Gateway

This gateway gives South African nonprofits using GiveWP a way to accept online donations through PayFast. Donors can choose credit cards or instant Electronic Funds Transfer, and payments are handled off-site. The plugin also includes fraud detection as part of its payment processing.

The integration works with GiveWP donation forms, including forms built with GiveWP's visual donation form builder. Organizations can let donors cover transaction fees and accept donations in South African rand. Instant EFT payments clear immediately, which can help fundraising teams receive those funds without a typical two-day wait.
