Getting paid without a website: Request Money

posted in Features, How to

Our Request Money feature is an ideal solution for individuals, freelancers and businesses who conduct their services (or sell/auction their goods) in an “offline” fashion. You can create a Payment Request, which we’ll send out to the recipient’s email address. The email contains a link which they can click to pay you via credit card, Instant EFT or any of the methods you have enabled on your PayFast account.

Step one – Login and Generate

Log in to your PayFast account and from your Dashboard hit the Generate button under Request Money.

Two-factor authentication available

Secure passwords are a good way to keep online accounts safe, but unfortunately there is still a chance that someone might get access to (or guess) your password (and therefore your account). Two-factor authentication keeps your account safe by requiring two things – your password and your phone – to gain access.
