AfriDirect Payment lets your customers pay you directly, by bank transfer, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Wise, Payoneer, Skrill, mobile money, cryptocurrency or any custom method, and then upload proof of payment. You review the proof and approve it. Use it at WooCommerce checkout or on standalone payment forms for services and donations.
