Why Pay@ Gateway

three reasons SA merchants are switching to us.

No SA gateway combines competitive pricing, same-day settlement, and truly local support. Until now.

Early merchants

SA businesses are switching.

Real feedback from beta merchants who made the move.

Switched from another SA gateway after four years. Same-day settlement alone is worth it — Friday sales used to clear Tuesday. Now they clear same day. Shopify plugin installed in under 20 minutes.

Fashion store, Johannesburg

As an agency we’ve onboarded 40+ merchant accounts. Pay@ Gateway’s onboarding is the fastest in SA — same-day approval, sandbox works immediately. Our default recommendation now.

Shopify agency, Cape Town

The fee difference sounds small but on R300K a month it’s real money saved vs our previous gateway. WooCommerce plugin has zero issues, support actually answers, same-day settlement transformed our cash flow.
