Payments

Storeforge never touches your money. Card payments run through your own Yoco,

PayGate or PayPal account and settle straight into your own bank account; we

charge you a flat monthly fee for the software, nothing per sale.

Yoco

Add your Yoco secret key under Payments. The moment you save a key, Storeforge

registers its own webhook with Yoco for your shop specifically, so payment

confirmations come straight back to your store. Until that webhook is

armed (registered and confirmed), your shop can't take real live card

payments, only test ones, so a half-finished setup can never charge a real

customer without paying out.

An alternative to Yoco if that's who you bank with. Same idea: your own

merchant details, card payments only for now. Test mode always uses PayGate's

own public test account, even if you've saved real credentials, so testing

never risks a real card.

You can offer PayPal alongside card as an extra choice. Because PayPal doesn't

settle in rand, you set a conversion rate and the converted amount is fixed the

moment a customer starts paying.

If your customers are on credit terms, turn on "selling on account" under

Settings. These orders go through with no payment step; you mark them paid by

hand once the money is in.

Any order that isn't paid yet, whether it's on-account or a manual order, gets

a link you can copy or WhatsApp to the customer so they can pay by card without

placing a fresh order.

Every shop starts in test mode, where the built-in simulator stands in for a

real card so you can try the whole flow safely. Switching to live mode needs a

confirmed email and (for card payments) an armed webhook.
