Please note: Paybill is available to our Gateway merchants only.
How to send a Paybill to your client:
- Log in to your account on the Merchant Access Portal (MAP) at MAP login
- Select Paybill.
- Click the Create New Paybill button at the bottom of the page.
(Please note: If you can’t create a new Paybill, it means your terms and conditions haven’t been added to the Paybill configuration yet.)
- Enter the client’s name, email address, the rand amount to be paid and a short message.
- Click ‘Save’.
The client will then receive an email with a payment reference number and a URL link.
By clicking the link, they will be directed to a secure Payfast by Network internet payment page, where they can enter their credit card details and complete the payment.
To customise the Paybill payments page to your requirements:
- Log in to your MAP.
- Choose the Product Configuration option from the Administration menu.
- Then, click the Configure link under Paybill.
- You will now see the configuration page. Please update the following settings:
- Contact details: These will be shown to your customer on the Paybill payment page.
- Terms and Conditions: It’s advisable to have Terms and Conditions (T&Cs). We’ve attached sample T&Cs that you can modify to fit your needs. If you specify T&Cs, your customer will be required to acknowledge that they have read them on the payment page.
You can use standard HTML formatting to customise the appearance of your T&Cs.
A basic HTML formatted version of the T&Cs is included in the attached document.
- Your company logo: Displaying your company logo on the payments page can greatly enhance the customer experience. You have the option to upload an appropriate image.
Note: Don’t forget to click the Save button at the bottom of the page to ensure your changes are saved and activated.
All transaction activity conducted through Payfast can be accessed via your MAP.
