Paystack integrates with Xero via Stripe to Transform Payments for South African Businesses
Paystack, a leading African payment gateway, has announced a new integration through Stripe with Xero, the global small business platform, to digitise invoicing and make it easier for small businesses to get paid and manage their cashflow.
The integration embeds secure payment processing into Xero’s cloud accounting software, giving South African businesses the option to easily generate digital invoices with a ‘Pay Now’ link. This link offers customers more ways to pay, including by card, bank transfer and Apple Pay. Payments sync instantly to Xero, with records automatically matched to customer profiles, which cuts down reconciliation time, delivers real-time insights into finances and frees up valuable time.
“Our partnership with Xero gives South African businesses an invoice‑to‑payment flow with one‑click reconciliation, so getting paid is faster and finance stays simple. That frees up business owners to focus on growth,” says Thomas McKinnon, Country Lead, Paystack South Africa.
