Paystack is one of the most trusted payment platforms in Africa, helping businesses accept secure online payments through cards, bank transfers, USSD, and mobile money. If your company operates in supported African countries, we have great news for you — you can now connect Paystack to RO App and streamline how you get paid.

The integration is available starting from the Startup plan.

How Paystack Works in RO App

Once connected, Paystack allows you to accept payments in several ways:

Get orders paid online

Create a payment link directly from an order in the Invoices and Payments tab. Send it to your client — and once paid, the transaction will be recorded in your selected financial account.

If you use Public pages, you can enable online payments so clients can pay for their orders themselves via the payment button.

Accept in-person payments using QR code

In the integration settings, download and print a generated for a merchant QR code to place it at your checkout and accept in-person payments from clients for their orders and sales.

Generate payment links for invoices automatically

Enable online payments for invoices in Settings > General.

When an invoice reaches a selected status, RO App will automatically generate a payment link. You can also configure automatic status updates after successful payment reducing manual work for your team.

Create standalone payment links

Go to Finance > Payment links and create a standalone payment link for one-time services, deposits, or additional charges.

Accept payments from mobile

In RO App mobile application, you can generate a payment link and display a QR code for your client to scan and pay instantly.

Supported Payment Methods

Depending on your Paystack account and country, your clients can pay using:

  • Visa and Mastercard

  • Verve

  • Bank transfers

Payment channels may vary by country and merchant configuration.
