Updating.

Instant EFT is set on original payment architecture and is in process of update

(December 2022)

  • Merchant partners display a Ozow approved payment button in their checkout page when a customer is ready to complete payment for their purchase. (Guides to come)
  • The merchant sends a POST request with credentials & purchase details to the Ozow service
  • The customer is then redirected to the Ozow Instant EFT payment gateway. Ozow reflects the purchase amount and reference number along with merchant logo (if applicable)
  • The customer completes the Ozow payment process and necessary 2FA

If successful payment is complete the customer is redirected back to the merchant website, confirmation of transaction is presented.

If unsuccessful, the customer is notified of failure, and prompted to attempt again or cancel.

  • Upon completion the customer is then prompted to return to the merchant or will be automatically redirected.
  • If the merchant supplies a notification webhook in their initial POST, the merchant receives a response to their server endpoint with the details of the completed, cancelled, or expired transaction.
