Payments & Fees

Instant EFT

What it is and how it works inside online checkout.

Instant EFT lets customers pay directly from their bank account through a supported payment provider. It is popular because it feels familiar to many South African shoppers and can reduce friction for customers who do not want to use cards.

If instant EFT is enabled in your payment setup, customers will see it as an option during checkout. They complete the payment through the provider's secure flow, and the order is updated once the payment is confirmed.

Key points

  • Instant EFT is handled through a supported payment provider
  • It gives customers an alternative to card payments
  • Always test the flow after enabling it
