Migrating from i-Pay to Ozow domain

Introduction

In our continuous effort to innovate and enhance the payment experience, i-Pay has evolved into Ozow. This transition is not just a rebranding; it's an upgrade to a more sophisticated, user-friendly, and technologically advanced platform. To align with this significant evolution, we are moving from the i-pay.co.za endpoints to the new and improved ozow.com endpoints. This document serves as a comprehensive guide to facilitate a seamless migration for all our valued merchants.

Why Migrate?

The migration to Ozow encapsulates our commitment to providing an exceptional payment experience through advanced features, optimized APIs, and adherence to the latest technology standards. By migrating, merchants will benefit from:

Update Your Endpoints: Replace all instances of i-pay.co.za endpoints in your codebase with the corresponding ozow.com endpoints. Pay close attention to the API paths and parameters, as there may be slight differences.
Test Your Integration: Utilize our testing environment to ensure that your integration works correctly with the new endpoints. This step is crucial to identify and rectify potential issues before going live.
Go Live: Once testing is completed successfully, update your production environment with the new Ozow endpoints. Monitor the integration closely for any anomalies or issues.
