How to accept payments with DPO Pay

DPO Pay is an online payment gateway widely used across Africa, enabling tour operators to accept payments securely from customers using credit and debit cards as well as a range of local payment methods, with the exact options available depending on the country. Built for businesses operating in African markets, it lets travellers pay through the channels they already trust in their region. Once DPO Pay confirms a payment, TourTask automatically marks the related booking as paid and proceeds with the normal confirmation flow, sending confirmations to both your business and the customer.
