Pros

“I love the ease with which we were able to integrate our platform with theirs as they offer numerous SDKs and APIs for easy integration & support for popular programming languages.”

Efezino U.

Managing Director & Software Developer

“We have had a lot of success working with Paystack. We have made a lot of transactions and all of them have been successful.”

Ifeayi K.

Director

“For more advanced scenarios, there are also other options for integration. Their webhook feature is also a great addition that helps solve problems with verification of payment.”

Adebayo A.

Software Engineer

Cons

“Some browsers have extension that block loading of script and it can lead to frustrating search for bugs when customers report issues with payment.”

Adebayo A.

Software Engineer

“Dependence on internet access: Paystack needs an internet connection to process payments, so it might not be feasible to take payments if there are problems with internet connectivity.”

Efezino U.

Managing Director & Software Developer

“The fact that same day settlement was not available or was only available at a premium was a downside.”
