What IP addresses does Payfast use?

As a merchant communicating with Payfast, you may have backend systems that will programmatically speak with Payfast's API or website callback services. Depending on the calling infrastructure, your environment may need to make some changes to be aware of new IP addresses.


Payfast has published our inbound and outbound IP addresses as A records on DNS entries to make it easier for your firewalls to keep track of these.


Please ensure that your firewalls and any NAT Chains will be configured to permit outbound and inbound traffic from the following addresses:

  • www.payfast.co.za

  • api.payfast.co.za

  • ips.payfast.co.za

  • w1w.payfast.co.za

  • w2w.payfast.co.za

The A records within these records may change from time to time as Payfast’s network grows and becomes more distributed, so we advise you to keep sync with these records for the future.
