Can I accept payments with PayFast?

Question

• Does Thinkific integrate with PayFast?

Solution

We don't have a direct integration with PayFast. However, if this is a requirement for your business, it is possible to use an external checkout with Thinkific. Make sure to review our recommended set up below!

Before jumping to that, we also want to let you know that your course checkout page can integrate directly with Stripe and/or PayPal for a seamless student experience, which you can see how to set up here:

• Accept Payments with Stripe
• Accept Payments with PayPal

Our app store also includes several alternate checkout options: CheckoutJoy (which integrates directly with PayFast), Infusionsoft, or Shopify.

Recommended Set Up for Using PayFast with Thinkific

If you prefer to accept payment through PayFast, this is still an option, there will just be some additional set up required. After a student makes a purchase on your PayFast checkout, you'll simply need to manage how they are enrolled into your Thinkific course! We have details on how to set that up here:
