Your PayFast Integration details include your merchant ID, merchant key and security passphrase and are the necessary information that we (or your website developer) need to enable PayFast on your website. We’ll use these details to integrate PayFast with WooCommerce and Shopify.
To find your PayFast Merchant ID and Key, log in to your PayFast account and navigate to Account > Personal Information. (Alternatively, you can navigate to Settings > Developer Settings.). Your Merchant ID and Key are displayed on the top right-hand side of the page.
Your Merchant ID and Key can also be found under Settings > Integration.
PayFast Security passphrase #
The passphrase is an extra security feature that you can enable on your PayFast Dashboard to make your security signature (sent when a payment is made) more secure.
You may set your passphrase as a combination of up to 32 characters of your choosing that should be different from your password.
To enable the passphrase on your account, do the following:
- Log in to your PayFast account.
- Navigate to Settings > Developer settings.
- Enter your Security Passphrase and click Save. Please note: Your passphrase cannot be more than 32 characters.
