What it does
If you run appointment bookings in South Africa, you need a way for clients to pay that they recognize and trust. This addon brings Payfast into BookingPress as a payment method, so the payment step happens as part of the booking itself. Clients pick a service and time, then pay through Payfast using the method they prefer, such as a card, Instant EFT or Mobicred. That keeps payment and scheduling in one flow instead of chasing invoices after the fact.
Setup happens inside BookingPress. You connect your registered Payfast account, switch the payment method on, and it becomes available on your booking forms without any coding. The addon works with the Standard, Professional and Enterprise BookingPress plans, and setup guides and video tutorials are available to walk you through configuration. It suits salons, clinics, consultants, tutors and other service businesses that already use BookingPress and want a local payment option for their South African clients.
Best for
- South African service businesses taking appointment bookings
- Salons, clinics and consultants using BookingPress
