Rebill integrates with four South African payment gateways (Paystack, Yoco, PayFast, and iKhokha) so your clients can pay invoices online by card, instant EFT, or other methods directly from the invoice link. Once connected, a "Pay Now" button appears automatically on every client-facing invoice.
| Gateway | Card payments | Instant EFT | Payment auto-confirm | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paystack | Yes (Visa, Mastercard) | Yes | Yes (webhook, manual setup required) | Freelancers and consultants; also supports clients outside SA (40+ countries) |
| Yoco | Yes (Visa, Mastercard) | No | Yes (automatic) | Businesses already using Yoco card machines; simple card-only setup |
| PayFast | Yes (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) | Yes (via Ozow) | Yes (automatic) | eCommerce and service businesses; widest payment method support in SA |
| iKhokha | Yes (Visa, Mastercard) | No | Yes (automatic) | Businesses already using iKhokha card machines or the iKhokha app |
Only one gateway can be active at a time. Connect whichever gateway your business already uses, or sign up for one above.
Paystack
- 1
Connect Paystack
In Rebill, go to Settings and click Payment Providers under the Integrations group. Click Connect next to Paystack (or Edit if already set up). Enter your Public Key and Secret Key from your Paystack dashboard, then click Save.
- 2
Paystack is now connected

Configure the webhook
Rebill will display a webhook URL after connecting. You must copy it into your Paystack dashboard under Settings → API Keys & Webhooks. Without this, Rebill will not receive payment confirmations and invoices will not be marked as paid automatically.
Yoco
- 1
Get your Yoco API keys
Log in to your Yoco account and navigate to Developers → API Keys to find your Public Key (starts with pk_) and Secret Key (starts with sk_).
- 2
Enter and save
Click Connect next to Yoco in Rebill's Payment Providers settings, paste both keys, and click Save Integration. Rebill registers a payment notification webhook with Yoco automatically. There is nothing to configure in your Yoco dashboard, and invoices are marked as paid as soon as a payment goes through.
PayFast
- 1
Get your PayFast credentials
Log in to your PayFast account. Go to Settings → Integration to find your Merchant ID, Merchant Key, and Passphrase.
- 2
Enter and save
Paste all three into the PayFast section in Rebill's Payment Providers settings, then save. Payment confirmations happen automatically. No webhook setup is needed in your PayFast dashboard.
iKhokha
- 1
Get your iKhokha credentials
Log in to your iKhokha dashboard and find your App ID and App Secret under the developer or API section. - 2
Connect iKhokha in Rebill
In Rebill, go to Settings, click Payment Providers under the Integrations group, and click Connect next to iKhokha. Enter your App ID and App Secret, then click Save Integration. Rebill checks the credentials with iKhokha when you save, so invalid keys are caught immediately.
- 3
Done. Payments confirm automatically
Clients who click the pay button on an invoice are taken to an iKhokha payment page. Payment confirmations are sent back to Rebill automatically and the invoice is marked as paid. No webhook setup is needed in your iKhokha dashboard.
Testing your iKhokha connection
The iKhokha connection dialog includes a Test mode checkbox. Enable it to use the iKhokha sandbox environment so you can run test payments without moving real money. Remember to turn it off before sending real invoices.Note
Only one payment gateway can be active at a time. Connecting a new gateway will replace your current one.
