How Do I Make a Payment via PayFast?

At MyFreeHostSA, all payments are processed securely through the PayFast payment gateway. PayFast is our only payment method, so all invoices are paid using this secure service.

When viewing your invoice, you will see two options: Pay Now and Subscribe.

Option 1: Pay Now (Once-Off Payment)

  1. Log in to your Client Area and go to Billing > My Invoices.
  2. Open the invoice you want to pay and click Pay Now.
  3. You will be redirected to the secure PayFast checkout page.
  4. Choose your preferred payment method:
    • Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
    • Debit Card
    • Instant EFT (direct from your bank account)
    • SnapScan / Zapper
    • Apple Pay / Samsung Pay
    • QR Code Apps
  5. Complete the steps to make your once-off payment.

Option 2: Subscribe (Automatic Recurring Payments)

  1. On the same invoice screen, click the Subscribe button.
  2. This sets up an automatic recurring payment through PayFast.
  3. Future invoices for services like monthly hosting will be paid automatically when due.
  4. You can cancel the subscription anytime through your PayFast account or by contacting us.

Important: Your service (domain registration, hosting, or renewal) will only be activated once PayFast confirms that your payment was successful.

If you have any issues while making a payment, please contact our support team for assistance.
