## Description

PayFast is one of the most popular gateways in South Africa. It’s an off-site gateway
that allows donors to give securely and then be returned to your website and displayed
a donation receipt.

#### Getting Started with PayFast

In order to accept payments with PayFast using Give you will need to have an active
PayFast account, the PayFast Give add-on, and the Give Core plugin installed and
activated.

Click here for instructions on installing and activating Give add-ons.

Note: You can always access your add-on purchase receipts, downloads, and licenses
from your Give Account dashboard.

After the PayFast add-on is activated, go to “Donations > Settings” and click on
the Payment Gateways tab. There you will see the default Payment Gateways (PayPal
Standard, Test Payment, and Offline Donations). You should also see PayFast as an
option as well. Click on the PayFast checkbox to enable it as an active payment 
gateway for your website.
