How it works
- Same registration. The merchant key you already have works for every rail.
- Pick the provider. provider "paypal" for PayPal (its checkout also takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and JCB); "paynow" for the hosted checkout that carries Visa and Mastercard alongside the Zimbabwean rails.
- Settle in one ledger. Local and international payments appear in the same ledger, so reconciliation is one feed.

- A seller in Harare, Nairobi, Lagos or Lisbon uses the same API; the rails offered depend on what the deployment enabled.
- PayPal and PayNow fees are their own.
