Can I receive recurring payments?
Yes, PayFast does support recurring billing.
PayFast recurring billing allows merchants to create two methods of recurring payments; one is a subscription model, the other is an tokenization model.
The subscription model supports membership or retainer style business models that provide stable and predictable income.
The tokenization model enables ad-hoc card charging such as with app payments (similar to Uber where you load your card and pay when you need to), customised recurring plans, or account top ups.
