Everything You Need to Know
Will customers receive their downloads any differently after I connect PayFast?
No. Connecting PayFast doesn’t change how Easy Digital Downloads delivers digital products. Your customers continue receiving downloads through your existing purchase flow.
How does my store know a payment has been completed?
When PayFast confirms the payment, your Easy Digital Downloads store receives that confirmation through PayLexer, allowing the purchase to continue as expected.
Do I need to set up PayFast separately for every product?
No. Once the integration is complete, it works across your Easy Digital Downloads store, so there’s no need to configure each product individually.
Is this a setup I can handle without technical experience?
Yes. PayLexer is designed to make payment gateway integrations approachable for store owners, even if you’ve never configured one before.
If I make changes to my PayFast account later, what should I expect?
You can update the relevant integration settings in PayLexer whenever needed. Your store can continue using the existing integration without starting from scratch.
Who processes payments when someone buys a digital product?
PayFast securely processes every payment. PayLexer simply keeps your digital store connected with the payment gateway so purchase confirmations reach your website.
Where can I turn if I need help with the integration?
If you ever have questions, the PayLexer support team is available to assist. You can also revisit the setup documentation whenever you need additional guidance.
