We have since made modern online and offline payments accessible to Africa and emerging economies as a whole through several innovative software solutions, namely Flutterwave for Business (Checkout and Store), Barter, Invoices, payment plans and customisable payment links. We have also made it easier for African and Tanzanian businesses to receive payments from as far as Qatar, Dubai, UK, US etc. That is a whole new market for your business.
With our payment tools, merchants can collect payments from customers anywhere in the world using desktops, Android, iOS, and even in-person. Payments can be made in your clients’ local currencies, with over 150 options that include Naira, Dollars, Pounds, Euro and Yuan.
To ensure higher transaction success rates, we also allow you to offer your clients modern payment methods, such as debit and credit cards, bank accounts and transfers, Mobile Money, POS, M-Pesa, Visa QR, and USSD.
