Accept payments from anywhere in Africa in one day
How to accept online payments from African and international customers on the same day — covering Paystack, Flutterwave, and connecting to your product or website.
Choose your payment provider: Paystack (recommended for Nigeria, Ghana), Flutterwave (pan-African, 35+ countries), or Fincra (good for cross-border).
Register a business account on your chosen platform. You’ll need: BVN (Nigeria), CAC registration documents, business bank account, and government ID.
Verify your account. Most platforms complete verification in 24–48 hours.
Go live in test mode first: generate test API keys and run 3-5 test transactions.
Integrate the payment link or checkout widget on your website or app.
Enable webhooks: configure your server to listen for payment.success events so you can fulfil orders automatically.
Switch to live mode with your production API keys.
Test one real transaction with your own card before announcing to customers.
