Accept multi-currency payments with PayFast and PayPal together in the checkout

Use the multi-currency pricing feature in your website to let customers shop across your website in their chosen currency.

The PayFast gateway will only accept payments in South African Rand, so when using multi-currency with PayFast alone the shopper sees the foreign currency total as an estimate on the final checkout confirmation page along with the exact Rand amount they will pay once they are transferred to the secure PayFast payment page.

Enable both PayFast and PayPal gateways together in your store and the checkout behaviour intelligently directs the shopper to the most suitable payment processor for their currency.

South African Rand paying customers will be directed to PayFast and PayPal will not be shown as PayPal does not accept Rand (ZAR) payments.
Customers paying in other international currencies (e.g. USD, GBP, EUR, AUD etc.) will be directed to PayPal instead to pay in their chosen native currency and PayFast will not be shown as an option to international shoppers.
