How do I enable Split Payments?
To enable Split Payments, action is required by both the primary account and the secondary split account. The first step is for the primary account holder to enable Split Payments via their Payfast Dashboard.
To enable Split Payments, do the following:
Once Split Payments is enabled on your Payfast Dashboard, the second account holder, i.e. the platform, must give their Payfast Merchant ID and Merchant Key to you, the main account holder, so that you can activate Split Payments via a custom integration. During this custom integration, a pre-agreed amount (either a fixed amount, a percentage or a combination of both) of funds will be set to instantly split into the secondary account every time a buyer makes a payment on the platform.
