If PayFast isn't working
Is it down for everyone? If payments fail at many shops at once, it's the payment provider rather than your card.
- Ask the shop to try another payment method.
- Don't retry the same payment repeatedly: check your bank statement first.
- Merchants: check the provider's official updates before calling support.
- Tell @PayFast on X. Companies respond faster when many people post.
