For first-time Paystack users, the payment method must be authorized for future recurring charges. During checkout, the customer will see a minimum authorization charge (e.g., 1 ZAR) instead of the full subscription price. This is a temporary verification hold that will be refunded; the actual subscription fee will then be charged according to the plan.
Paystack does not support custom billing frequencies (e.g., every 3 days). You can only set up plans that charge daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
Email, Last name, and First name fields are mandatory on your payment pages for payment via Paystack to work correctly.
Paystack supports a wide range of currencies, including GHS, NGN, KE,S, and ZAR.
