I am also looking at PayFast, but need some more info before I continue. Want to see others try it, actually start up something so we can see how it performs.

Or I should be the first, other than BoB, to integrate it. Their fee structure is not too bad, as they also charge VAT. I wonder what the implications might be if my site actually works and make money, do I need to register a CC then to get a VAT reg number??

It’s a good service, albeit limited in reach. FNB -> Payfast -> Bidorbuy was excellent, which bodes well for bidorbuy shoppers, but not much else.

I have yet to see a decent South African merchant other than bidorbuy making use of Payfast’s merchant service. Then we can really start comparing.
