How do I integrate PayFast with Shopify?

[WebForum]

To integrate PayFast with Shopify, do the following:

1. Log in to your Shopify Store.
2. Navigate to Settings.
3. Under Payment providers select PayFast and enter your PayFast Merchant ID and Key.

Please Note: The base currency of your Shopify store must be ZAR.

Recurring Billing​

To set up subscription products in Shopify, please follow our recurring billing instructions. You will need to ensure that Recurring Billing is enabled on your PayFast account and that your products are either set up with the Variation method or the SKU method. Unfortunately, subscription products cannot be tested in sandbox mode. However, by checking out to PayFast, you will be able to see that a recurring product has been created, with the recurring amount showing.

South African VAT Setup​

1. In the admin section of your Shopify store, click the Settings cog at the bottom left-hand corner.
2. Once on the Settings page, click Taxes.
3. On the Taxes page, set up VAT for South Africa so that all 9 provinces are set to 15%.
4. Please leave the top part that reads Tax Settings unchecked, as in the screenshot to ensure that the amount does not get double charged.
