razaro Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 So you cant use any of these https://www.prestashop.com/en/set-up-payment-module like https://www.payu.co.za/ the offered ones are international which dont support south african banks there must be some international solution. Also there are are few true experts for payment module that could make new module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keremsah2 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 South African banks are not flexible to to send our money and send money in yet, it is bit risky to use international ones as you get paid international, you send good but your money comes down to south african bank account takes a lot of time and fees are not reasonable yet.

bellini13 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Well, I believe it is up to you as a merchant to locate payment providers and financial institutions that provider a payment gateway for you to use. Once you locate one, then finding a payment module or creating a payment module is the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellini13 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I assume you are the business owner. If that is a true statement, then yes everything about your business is your responsibility, including which payment providers you wish to use.

keremsah2 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Merchant account in South Africa you need to register a lot of place like local revenue service , trade department etc. I setup again site to use skrill as payment option but under presta setup I cant find skrill as paymetn gateway even it shows in presta web site as payment option. https://www.prestashop.com/en/set-up-payment-module but under presta setup cant get skrill, for South Africa, Skrill page mentione EMEA as payment cover but still non exist under presta setup - Configure payments am I missing somethig??

bellini13 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Why would you give us a link to your back office page, do you really want us to try to hack into your back office to see your payments page? If you found a module that you want to use, then download that module from the website and install it in your back office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keremsah2 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 bellini13 please stop commenting for un-useful comments, backoffice is not important, I am trying presta is payment method doesnt works you can do whatever you want with back side of the @#$ page. so please consider before reply as positive input to solve the problem... and also if you can login via link that I send that means presta has got a huge backdoor in their systems.

Coolgame Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The best ways is to do as I said earlier. Get a merchant account from your bank. Go to one of the South African gateways, and they all work , as I'm in Cape Town and I do it all the time. The payment gateway will give you the prestashop module and you then install and add your pass ocdes etc. It does work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keremsah2 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi, that skrill was useful I contact to them waiting for merchant acc to be enabled. I manage to get paypal working without any hassle also. I guess skrill is my best bet to have less fees and quicker transaction between accounts to get paid for South Africa.
