A Quick Word on Paystack
We know that many of you have built your event businesses using our Paystack integration, and we want to be completely transparent. To deliver this powerful new Flutterwave experience, we are temporarily pausing the Paystack option.
Think of it as a pit stop, not a final destination. Our team is hard at work upgrading our Paystack integration to make it even more seamless. Paystack will be returning soon , and when it does, you will have the power of choice between two of Africa’s best payment gateways.
