Merchant decision question
For Kenya or Africa expansion, should an online merchant evaluate Flutterwave or Paystack first?
When Flutterwave may fit
Choose Flutterwave if the merchant needs to evaluate pan-African payment collection and Kenya local-method support in one provider conversation.
When Paystack may fit
Choose Paystack if the merchant wants to evaluate a developer-led African PSP route and Kenya availability questions.
What to verify before integration
- Confirm local entity, local bank account, KYB documents, supported merchant categories, and foreign merchant eligibility with each provider.
- Ask for supported checkout flows, refunds, chargebacks, reconciliation exports, webhooks, plugins, and production support commitments.
- Confirm settlement timing, payout currency, FX handling, reserves, tax invoices, and all contract fees in writing before launch.
- Validate the exact payment methods needed for the market instead of assuming country coverage equals method coverage.
Pricing and settlement note
Published pricing is suitable for initial screening only. Actual pricing can vary by country, industry, volume, settlement currency, integration model, and contract terms. Confirm the official pricing page or a provider quote before going live.
Do not treat country coverage or brand support as proof that a specific merchant entity, industry, payout currency, or settlement workflow is available.
