Integration
StockFlow+PayFast
PayFast handles online checkout in ZAR. Stockflow reads completed orders, updates stock, and prepares accounting hand-off — back-office value without replatforming your store.
Why connect StockFlow to PayFast?
Online checkout channel, not a till replacement
PayFast remains your payment gateway. Stockflow consumes order events for stock decrement and margin tracking.
Order-to-stock traceability
See which catalogue items moved when PayFast payments succeed — fulfilment and inventory stay aligned.
Works with WooCommerce and custom stores
Common SA stack: Woo + PayFast checkout + Stockflow back office. Shopify and native PayFast links supported as channels.
Accounting hand-off
Prepared reconciliation data flows toward Xero or Sage so online revenue is not a month-end mystery.
