Everything You Need to Know
Will adding PayFast affect the checkout experience my customers already know?
No. Your WooCommerce checkout continues to work as it always has. PayFast is simply added as another payment option, allowing customers to choose it during checkout.
I'm comfortable managing my store, but not writing code. Is that a problem?
Not at all. PayLexer simplifies the integration process so you can connect PayFast without custom development or advanced technical knowledge.
Do I have to replace the payment methods my customers already use?
No. If your WooCommerce store supports multiple payment gateways, you can continue offering your existing payment methods alongside PayFast.
What changes after a customer completes their payment?
After PayFast confirms the payment, WooCommerce receives the confirmation needed to continue processing the order through its normal workflow.
If I update my PayFast account in the future, do I need to rebuild the integration?
No. When your account information changes, you can update the relevant settings in PayLexer without setting up the integration again from the beginning.
Is PayLexer responsible for processing customer payments?
No. Every transaction is processed securely by PayFast. PayLexer’s role is to connect your WooCommerce store with the payment gateway so payment information flows correctly.
Can I get help if something isn't working as expected?
Absolutely. If you run into any issues during setup or after your store is live, the PayLexer support team is ready to help you resolve them.
