<h2>Take flexible payments with Payfast</h2>
<p>The Payfast extension for WooCommerce enables you to accept payments including <strong>subscriptions</strong>, <strong>deposits</strong>, and <strong>pre-orders</strong> via one of South Africa’s most popular payment gateways.</p>

<p>Customers can sign up to manage their payments via an easy-to-use payment wallet to pay for your product or service quickly and easily.</p>

Payfast handles the payments and redirects your visitors back to your website where they can continue browsing through your store.</p>
