Capitec Pay lets Capitec clients approve a payment directly in their Capitec banking app using only
their mobile number. There are no internet banking details to enter on the payment page and no card
details, so it's a faster, more convenient way for Capitec clients to pay you at checkout.

Capitec Pay is one of the [bank app methods](https://hub.ozow.com/payment-methods/money-in/pay-by-bank.md#bank-app-methods) under Pay by Bank.

## Enabling Capitec Pay

Capitec Pay is opt in. If it isn't showing on your payment page, contact
[Ozow support](mailto:support@ozow.com) or your account manager to enable it. No additional
integration is required: once it's enabled, Capitec Pay appears on the Ozow payment page.

Capitec has its own onboarding and compliance requirements for businesses that offer Capitec Pay.
Read them before you go live: [Bank API compliance](https://hub.ozow.com/integration-methods/apis/money-in/bank-api-compliance.md)

## Integrating Capitec Pay

Capitec Pay works with every integration that supports Pay by Bank. See
[Integrating Pay by Bank](https://hub.ozow.com/payment-methods/money-in/pay-by-bank.md#enabling-pay-by-bank).

**Standalone bank buttons.** To show your own Capitec Pay button and send customers straight to it,
skipping the bank list, pass its `institutionId`. See [Payment Method
IDs](https://hub.ozow.com/integration-methods/apis/money-in/payment-method-ids.md) and [Standalone payment
buttons](https://hub.ozow.com/integration-methods/apis/money-in.md#standalone-payment-buttons).
Capitec icons are in [Brand assets](https://hub.ozow.com/payment-methods/brand-assets.md).

**Confirming payment.** Only fulfil an order once you've received a confirmed successful status from
Ozow. See [Statuses](https://hub.ozow.com/integration-methods/statuses.md).

## Testing

We recommend testing with small live payments in production. Production payments settle back to
you as normal, so it's safe to test this way. If you need staging credentials, contact
[Ozow support](mailto:support@ozow.com) or your account manager.

## Refunds, settlement and reconciliation

- **Refunds:** you can refund a Capitec Pay payment. That's your decision, not something the
  customer can force through their bank. See [Refunds](https://hub.ozow.com/payment-methods/refunds.md).
- **Settlement:** Capitec Pay payments are settled once a day: 15:00 on weekdays and 08:00 on
  Saturdays. No settlement occurs on Sundays or public holidays. See
  [Settlements](https://hub.ozow.com/payment-methods/settlements-and-float/settlements.md).
- **Ozow Portal:** transactions and statuses update in real time on the Ozow Portal.
