PayFast Gateway Addon 1.4.2 – Paid Memberships Pro

PayFast Gateway Addon for Paid Memberships Pro

Running a membership site on WordPress and serving South African customers? Then you need a payment gateway that plays nice with local banks. This addon connects Paid Memberships Pro to PayFast — one of South Africa’s most established payment processors — so you can stop troubleshooting failed transactions and focus on growing your business.

South African customers can pay via bank transfer, credit card, or whatever method they prefer. No confusing redirects. No currency headaches. They stay on your site the whole time, which means fewer abandoned checkouts and more happy members.

What’s Included in Version 1.4.2

This is production-ready code. It handles the full payment cycle: new signups, recurring billing, plan upgrades, cancellations, and refunds. Every transaction flows automatically into your Paid Memberships Pro dashboard, so you manage everything from one place.

• Direct payment processing through PayFast’s South African infrastructure
• Automatic recurring billing for subscription-based membership levels
• Support for one-time payments, trial periods, and mixed payment setups
• Real-time payment confirmations and webhook handling
• Works with all Paid Memberships Pro versions 1.8 and above

Who Is This For?

You’ve built your membership site with Paid Memberships Pro, and now you want to serve South African customers properly. Maybe you run an online course, a subscription box, a professional group, or a community site. PayFast gives your members a payment option they already know and trust.

Fed up with international gateways charging steep conversion fees or simply not supporting local South African banks? This addon fixes that. Your members pay in ZAR. You receive ZAR. Everyone avoids the headache of currency conversion.

Getting Started

You’ll be up and running in about 5 minutes. Upload the addon, activate it, drop in your PayFast merchant credentials, and you’re set. From the settings page you can choose which membership levels accept PayFast, configure confirmation emails, and handle edge cases like failed payments or cancellations. Everything works through the WordPress admin panel — no touching code.

Why This Addon Makes Sense

Paid Memberships Pro is already a solid foundation for membership sites. Adding PayFast support means you’re not limiting yourself to international customers with credit cards. South Africa’s payment landscape works differently, and PayFast gets it. Offering a local payment method cuts down on cart abandonment, improves conversions, and gives your South African members the checkout experience they expect.

One purchase gets you a commercial license, lifetime updates, and direct support. Pay once, own it forever — no recurring fees.
