How do I link PayFast as a Payment Gateway For Invoices - South Africa

Hi there, @ -flashparcels-co.

It's nice to see you here in the Community today. I'd be glad to share details about integrating  Payfast with QuickBooks Online (QBO).

We can integrate  Payfast into QuickBooks. This way, you can add payment options and process payments online. To do so, you can go to the Apps menu and search for the Payfast payment processing app. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QBO account.
2. Click Apps from the left menu.
3. Go to the Find Apps tab.
4. Enter "online payments" in the search bar or click the Browse category button to filter the results.

I also recommend reaching out to the Payfast customer care team to assist you further in integrating their program with QBO, 

In addition, I've also got you this article in case you'd like to personalised your sales forms to match your business in QBO: Customise invoices, quotes, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

You may also check this article to learn more about how to customise a report in QBO to monitor your transactions: Customise reports in QuickBooks Online.

We're always around here to guide you if you have additional concerns about managing your invoice payments. Take care!

If you are running a business related to tour, activity, accommodation, and rental companies; you can use a booking management app to integrate with QBO and PayFast.

Hello, 

I have followed your instructions but I cant seem to find the Payfast app on my quickbooks account, is this option still available? 

Please help.

Hi Rhulani,

I appreciate you for trying the steps shared by my colleague. I'm here to help how you can integrate PayFast into your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

I agree with Fiat Lux - ASIA. You'll need a third-party connector to link the mentioned app to QBO. If you're unable to look for one, you may reach out to PayFast support so they can guide you in linking the application to QuickBooks.

Furthermore, you can browse these references in personalising the sales forms and recording invoice payments:

• Customise invoices, quotes, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online
• Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online

I'm always around whenever you need help managing invoices.

Payfast is not available in South Africa for this.  Confirmed by Payfast and QBO.  At the moment there is no online payment integration available in South Africa.  This is a great pity as it forces us to use other account packages like Xero and Sage

Hi,

When will Payfast and QBO online payment integration be available in South Africa?

Thank you.

Thanks for dropping a line in the thread, Chris. I can definitely see why this integration is a game-changer for your business. Let me help you find the best solutions. 

As for the timeline, we don’t have a specific update from Payfast or QuickBooks Online about when this integration will be available in South Africa. Both companies are known for rolling out updates and new features, so we’re hopeful that this integration will be announced soon.

In the meantime, it might be beneficial for you to directly contact Payfast’s customer support. They may have more detailed or forthcoming information about this integration timeline. Plus, they can log your interest, which could help prioritize the feature.

For future reference, here are some articles that will be useful for customizing your sales forms and recording invoice payments in QuickBooks Online:
