Why am I getting a 'currency format invalid' error?

PayFast only processes transactions in ZAR and does not provide a currency conversion service. This means the base currency of your store and product prices will need to be set to ZAR for us to be able to process the transaction.

However, you may edit the 'display currency' on your website to be another currency other than ZAR. This is typically done through a currency converter plugin that can convert the price of your product (in ZAR) to be displayed to your customers in another currency while they are browsing the products on your website.

When the customer reaches checkout, the total will be sent in ZAR so that we may process the transaction.

The availability of currency converters will depend on the cart system you are using. For more information regarding implementing a currency converter, we suggest you reach out to your cart platform to find a suitable option for your requirements.
