Local and international clients, one website
Your website already takes Rand payments through PayFast. This add-on opens your bookings to clients outside South Africa as well. Each visitor is shown the right currency for where they are: South Africans see your Rand prices and pay with PayFast, and everyone else sees your fixed US dollar prices and pays with PayPal. It happens automatically, so nobody has to pick a currency or work out a conversion.
What your clients see
01
South African visitors
See your prices in Rand and pay with PayFast, just as they do now.
02
International visitors
See your prices in US dollars and pay with PayPal.
03
Your own USD prices
Set a US dollar price for each service, package and event. It stays fixed and doesn’t move with the exchange rate.
04
Set by location
Your site picks the right currency and payment option for each visitor. There’s nothing for clients to choose.
Only work with South African clients? You don’t need this add-on. Your site takes Rand payments through PayFast as standard.
What you’ll need
Both a PayFast and a PayPal account.
PayFast takes your Rand payments and PayPal takes your US dollar payments, so you need an approved account with each. Opening them means sharing your bank details and ID with each provider, so you sign up yourself. Your guides walk you through it step by step.

Questions
Do I need a PayPal account as well as PayFast?
Yes. PayFast handles your Rand payments and PayPal handles your US dollar payments, so you need an approved account with both.
Will my US dollar prices change with the exchange rate?
No. You set a fixed US dollar price for each service, package and event, and international clients always see exactly that price.
How does my site know where a visitor is?
It looks up the visitor’s country from their internet connection when they open your booking page. We add a line to your privacy policy to explain this.
Can a client choose the other currency?
No. The currency and payment option are set by location, so South African clients always pay in Rand and international clients always pay in US dollars.
Do I need a Nunkio website?
No. If you already have a WordPress website, you can move it to Nunkio hosting and add the Nunkio booking system, and then add international pricing too. Using your existing website →
Is this a once-off cost?
Yes. R850 once, with no monthly fee. PayFast and PayPal charge their own transaction fees.
Can I add it later?
Of course. Add it any time from your Nunkio account, whenever you start working with clients outside South Africa.
