It’s a huge challenge trying to run a small business in South Africa that has the potential to sell globally. It could elevate the ecommerce landscape if WooPayments were made available. South Africa likes to boast some of the best banking technology in the world which may be so for traditional banking but ecommerce is very much in its infancy due to lack of support and cost as most software is only available in $s.
We desperately need this – the limited international payment gateways available to South africa and their very high total transaction costs, is a huge hurdle for business in SA. PLEASE open this up to us!!
This is really important for us living in SA to be able to use this as WooCommerce is from South Africa. But it does not seem that anyone is responding to these comments or votes?
It is a disgrace that WooCommerce WooPay doesn’t work in South Africa, the birthplace of WooCommerce. Like PayPal and a lot of other world changing inventions and services that began in South Africa or with South African involvement and backing, it is difficult if not impossible for South Africans to use those same services.
It’s a fact. South Africans are hard working entrepreneurs, inventors and problem solvers. Imagine what we could do without all the limitations deliberately imposed on us.
Anyway, shame on you Automattic/WordPress/WooCommerce for leaving out the country that created the platform that powers so many of the world’s eCommerce websites.
Seems this thread has the most votes, Woo are you paying attention? Please expedite as this will make entrepreneurs here immensely efficient with their online endeavours.
I joined 10 Web without knowing you have limitations on how we can trade. This is not advertised on the homepage or I wouldnt have signed up to 10 Web who is your business partner/ associate. I feel scammed. Africa is always been left out of things, yet the West needs us. How long have we lived in a global world yet were still excluded? Honestly what is “free trade” when some of us are not free to trade? This limits my business being global in nature and for what, because I am from Africa? Guys please catch a wake-up. We’re tired of being excluded. Its economic discrimination is what it is!

Nothing like buying a domain, paying for premium plan on woo to find out woo payments are not supported in South Africa… Please enable us to be part of the ecommerce world. after all, South Africa is large and once this is available you will find the floods of store owners coming in since shopify does not offer us much.
Was able to add to versysmedia.com via some VPNs and addresses although this might cause some issues in the future. Please add this for South Africans
Voted

We really do need woo payments in RSA, it’s a must.
Definitely need this as an options for South African sites. It would be of major benefit to small online businesses especially.
Would be great to have this available in SA
When is WooCommerce payments coming to South Africa?

Any indication when this will become available for SA? Or any feedback from Woo?
It would have been nice if the South Africans supported South Africans. Please bring Woopayments to RSA

Please bring Woopayments to SA. I am quite surprised it is not yet supported in a country where Woocommerce was built.

m shocked that we cannot use Woo in SA, it comes from us for heaven’s sake!! How and where do we address this?
Imagine south Africa inventing woo and then Europeans gate keep it from us

I was really expecting WooPayments in SA, since Woocommerce was built originally in SA.
What are the chances I come here to vote and my country is already top of the list? Woo, please make it happen. We need this like yesterday!
WooPayments Needed In South Africa

Definitely needed asap
How many votes do we need for Woo to make this happen? I’ve never wanted any so bad in my 6 years of building with WordPress and WooCommerce.
