How This Works

How PayLexer Gets PayFast Running on FluentCart

Three credentials, no webhook setup, and you're ready to accept payments. Here's how it works.
1

Get your credentials from PayFast

Go to Settings, then Developer Settings. Copy your Merchant ID, Merchant Key, and Security Passphrase. If you haven't set a passphrase yet, create one now and copy it immediately.
2

Set up PayFast inside PayLexer

In PayLexer, select PayFast, enter your Merchant ID, Merchant Key, and Passphrase, test the connection, and save. PayLexer automatically handles payment notifications, so no webhook setup is required.
