Payment processor Paystack launched two new integrations for Shopify merchants in South Africa. The integrations aim to streamline both online and in-person sales.
The first feature is an onsite card checkout. This allows customers to complete purchases directly on the merchant's website. It eliminates redirection to external payment pages, aiming to reduce cart abandonment.
Paystack also integrates its physical point-of-sale device, the Paystack Terminal, with Shopify. This allows businesses to link in-store card payments directly with their Shopify accounts. It creates a unified commerce system for retailers operating online and offline.
Paystack timed the launch ahead of the Black Friday shopping period. This aims to help merchants improve sales conversion.
