Does Payfast integrate with a Wix website?

Unfortunately at this time Payfast doesn’t integrate directly with Wix, but there are ways around this. If you need a shopping cart system on your Wix website you can use Ecwid.

Ecwid provides shopping cart functionality to platforms like WordPress, Facebook, Joomla and Wix. What’s more, Payfast integrates into Ecwid. So all you have to do is create an Ecwid account (for free), connect Payfast and then connect Ecwid to your Wix website.

For instructions on how to set up Ecwid on Facebook, visit Ecwid’s help centre. For integration instructions, read how to activate Payfast on Ecwid.

To set up Ecwid and Payfast on your website:

Option 1 - Already have an Ecwid Account

(Scroll down to Option 2 if you don't have an Ecwid Account)

Step 1: Go to your Ecwid Dashboard.

Step 2: Click Overview to view your integration options.
