BookingPress - Payfast Payment Gateway Addon

Businesses that take appointments online need a payment method their customers recognize and trust. For many South African clients, that means Payfast. This addon connects your registered Payfast account to the BookingPress appointment booking plugin, so people can pay at the time they book instead of arranging payment separately.

Once the addon is connected, Payfast appears as a payment option in BookingPress. You turn it on from within the plugin settings, with no coding needed. Customers can then choose from the payment types Payfast offers, including cards, Instant EFT and Mobicred. The addon works with the Standard, Professional and Enterprise BookingPress plans, so it fits small studios and larger booking operations alike.
