PayStack and FlutterWave Payment Gateway integration

[CordialGit]

I saw this plugin, as I am looking at creating a Local Fund raising website in my country.

The problem is that, you only have integrations to Payment Gateways that accepts United States Dollars.

You see, getting United States Dollars (USD) in my country is hard: you go through the rigours of paperwork, Open a Domiciliary Account, pay huge charges, and pay monthly charges which depletes your Account balance, plus the other whatnots.

So my country people prefer any platform that enables them to pay easily in our local currency — because they can’t go through the Dollar stress.

Woo Commerce has integration to PayStack (https://paystack.com/ ) and FlutterWave (https://flutterwave.com/ng ) and these Payment Gateways allow local payment in our local currency.

For me to be able to use this plugin, it must have integration to PayStack (https://paystack.com/ ) and FlutterWave (https://flutterwave.com/ng ).

Please, can you create a PayStack (https://paystack.com/ ) and FlutterWave (https://flutterwave.com/ng ) integration for this plugin ?

Regards.

Hey @CordialGit thanks for reaching out and providing your insights.

We are always monitoring interest in new Payment Gateway integrations. Paystack in particular has been requested before on our feature request board.

We do however support Stripe which acquired Paystack in 2020. It may be actually be possible to use Paystack through Stripe right now by looking at these pages:

• https://paystack.com/stripe/nigeria
• https://paystack.com/stripe

It's fine: I have added my voice to the Public feature request board.

We don't want to just be talkatives in your eyes: we want you to take us serious, and execute this feature we are asking for.

Regards.

@CordialGit thanks, appreciate the feedback!

Just so you know, I did start reaching out to Paystack to learn more about their gateway and gauge feasibility 🙂

PayStack has an API Documentation ( https://paystack.com/docs/api ) and it feels like it will be quite easy for you to integrate.

It was presented by PayStack like it is an open API and will be quite easy to integrate.
