PayFast Integration with Wix

However, merchants can still accept PayFast payments on a Wix site by using a supported third-party shopping cart platform such as Ecwid.

Recommended Workaround: Use Ecwid

Ecwid is an embeddable e-commerce solution that can be added to Wix and other website platforms. PayFast integrates directly with Ecwid, allowing you to process payments securely through PayFast while continuing to use Wix as your website builder.

With this approach:

1. Create an Ecwid account

2. Add Ecwid to your Wix website

3. Configure PayFast as your payment processor inside Ecwid

4. Customers complete checkout through Ecwid using PayFast

Benefits of Using Ecwid

• Works seamlessly with Wix websites

• Supports PayFast payment processing

• Provides full shopping cart functionality

• Requires no custom development

• Suitable for small to medium online stores

Setup Overview

To enable PayFast payments on Wix using Ecwid:

1. Sign up for an Ecwid account

2. Add the Ecwid store to your Wix site

3. Log in to your Ecwid admin panel

4. Navigate to Payment Settings

5. Select PayFast as your payment provider

6. Enter your PayFast Merchant ID, Merchant Key, and Passphrase

7. Save your settings

Important Notes

• This integration is managed through Ecwid, not directly through PayFast

• Support for Ecwid installation on Wix is provided by Ecwid

• A valid PayFast merchant account is required
