Best Payment Gateway with PayPal
Reviewed on 29/04/2023
Using flutterwave for over 3years now has been good so far.
Using flutterwave for over 3years now has been good so far.
Pros
My company uses Flutterwave to create payment links for customers so as to enable them pay however they want. I personally like the fact that they integrated Paypal because most of our foreign clients prefer it. At a point, they stopped offering the PayPal payment option to all vendors and limited it to just registered businesses. As a result, we were forced to register our business with CAC and become a legal entity. Thanks to flutterwave and their seamless payment options.
Cons
Apart from delayed response from customer service at times, I think they should also consider reducing the number of days for dollar payouts.

Best payment gateway for Africans
Reviewed on 09/04/2023
Pros
Rave is very easy to set up and use. It also integrates many African mobile payment methods like orange money, MTN mobile money, express union, and even credit cards.
Cons
There are a lot of failed transactions recorded within my period of use. They upgraded to a be dashboard that was not mobile responsive and did not really look good to me as compared to v2.
Reasons for Switching to Flutterwave
It's the only one of these that has mobile money for MTN and ORANGE in Cameroon.

RAVE by FLUTTERWAVE; WORTH IT OR NOT

Now I can receive payments from my customers directly from their cards. This makes transactions on my website seamless and I’ve seen an increase in sales as a result of integrating RAVE into my platform. Prior to RAVE, integrating payment gateways into my platform used to be a challenge because the giant payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal don’t allow users from certain regions which my country is a part of.
Pros
It allows one to receive payments online from customers' cards directly on their websites even though the business is yet unregistered.
Prior to RAVE, I was using PayStack, which was great until they dropped support for businesses who weren’t registered with the government at the time. I had to switch to RAVE so that by business could continue while I underwent registration. Since then, I haven’t looked back.
Cons
While I believe RAVE is a great product, I think they could improve with respect to direct integration with other common and mostly used platforms without needing integration softwares like zapier for instance. For example, even though I integrated RAVE into my LMS with the use of Zapier, its difficult to run affiliate marketing on my platform directly because RAVE isn’t the default LMS payment gateway. Much could be done on this.

I am certainly solving the problem of receiving payments for goods in Africa by using Rave/Flutterwave.
Pros
Paypal/Payoneer and some of the other big names do not allow e-commerce stores to get payments. Flutterwave does.
Cons
It did take a long time and was quite cumbersome to set up but after the initial frustration, it worked well.
