How to accept payments with Paystack

Paystack is an online payment gateway that lets your customers pay you over the internet using the popular payment methods available across Africa. Built to serve businesses and their customers throughout the African market, it accepts cards as well as the local bank and payment options that vary by country, making it a practical choice for tour operators collecting payments from African travellers. When Paystack confirms that a payment has gone through, TourTask automatically marks the related booking as paid and sends confirmation notifications to both the business and the customer.
