Introduction

🚧
As described in the table below, Payments API and Checkout support different payment methods.

To learn more about the payment methods, see the Peach Payments website.

📘

Hosted Checkout powers Payment Links and all payment extensions, including Xero, so all payment methods that Hosted Checkout offers are available on these services. Capitec Pay has certain restrictions for high-risk merchants.

Enable more payment methods on your Peach Payments account using the Dashboard.

For more information on payment types, see the payments reference material.

Choose the right product

The Peach Payments product portfolio contains multiple products suited to different requirements. The following diagram can help you choose which products are right for your requirements.

📘
The Payments API does not support card payments, so if you want to accept card payments, you must use Checkout in conjunction with Payments API.
