“As a South African business we battled to find a solution for accepting card payments that integrates with our Kajabi website — and we lost a lot of sales because of it. CheckoutJoy solved this problem, and now 60% of our sales go through PayFast.”
Why this exists
Kajabi doesn’t support PayFast. So creators get pushed into bad options.
For a South African business selling on Kajabi, accepting ZAR isn’t as easy as it should be. The defaults are painful:
PayPal only, slow money home
PayPal is the only ZAR-friendly Kajabi default — and even then your money is stuck in PayPal’s system. Long, expensive transfers to get it into your South African bank.
Stripe Atlas: a US company you don’t need
Setting up a US LLC, US tax filings, Wise transfers, ongoing accounting overhead — for what should be a simple checkout. Hundreds of dollars and ongoing complexity.
Manual PayFast links, no automation
Pasting PayFast links into email kills your conversion. No automatic Kajabi access, no recurring billing, no coupons, no affiliates, no analytics.
How it works

From a fresh CheckoutJoy account to live PayFast payments on your Kajabi page.
PayFast + Kajabi, the right way
Everything PayFast does — plus everything Kajabi’s native checkout is missing.
A native CheckoutJoy → PayFast → Kajabi integration. Customers pay in ZAR. Your Kajabi access is managed automatically. Every conversion lever you’d want is built in.
- Native PayFast integration
- Direct connection to PayFast — credit/debit card, InstantEFT, Zapper, MasterPass, Mobicred. One-off, multi-payment, or recurring.
- Automatic Kajabi access
- Customers get instant access to your Kajabi offer or membership on successful PayFast payment. No Zapier, no Make, no glue scripts.
- PayFast recurring subscriptions
- Run memberships and recurring billing fully on PayFast in ZAR. Access is revoked automatically when a subscription cancels.
- Multi-currency (ZAR + USD)
- Sell in Rands locally and let CheckoutJoy convert to USD or EUR for international buyers at live exchange rates.
- VAT-compliant invoices
- Tax-compliant invoices generated and emailed automatically on every PayFast sale.
- Affiliate program
- Recruit affiliates, track sales, pay commissions. Grow your reach without bolting on another tool.
- Coupons & order bumps
- Discount codes, order bumps, upsells and countdown timers. Every conversion lever a modern checkout should have.
- Real-time reports
- Page views, session duration, conversion rates, revenue by product — all in one dashboard. Track what PayFast actually settles too.
