Payment gateway systems supported in South Africa that integrate easily with Django Apps: include Paygate PayU Payfast Mygate

From the list above only PayU seems to support International payments - still need to verify and contact for payment structures. Paygate offers 4 payment options depending on the business scale ranging from a R0 monthly fee with high 3.9% per transaction to R500 monthly 0.25% transaction. Payfast is mostly a flexible service that has no maintenance/monthly fees and you only pay per transaction. Not recommended if the amount of sales can justify a subscription based service. Mygate offers 4 payment options all of which include a setup and monthly costs, but limited free transactions. Pay per transaction only kicks in after free transactions are used.

Conclusively Estimated sales for certificates should be taken in account when choosing a payment gateway PayU South African pricing must still be verified International support must be verified Most subscriptions are credit card transactions Should we also support cryptocurrencies?

Why not Paypal too? One can do Paypal account and credit card transactions through PayPal and it will suit the international market nicely.
