Deposits with your own PayFast or Yoco account

Take a deposit when someone books.

Deposits are paid straight into your own PayFast or Yoco merchant account. Cyber Circuit never holds your money.

1. Add your merchant keys

1. In webmail open Bookings and scroll to Deposits & payments.
2. Yoco: paste your public key and secret key from the Yoco portal (Sales › Payment Gateway › API keys). Copy the webhook URL shown, register it in Yoco, and paste the webhook signing secret.
3. PayFast: enter your merchant ID, merchant key and passphrase (PayFast › Settings › Developer Settings).
4. Save. Keys are encrypted and never shown again; use “Remove keys” to clear them.

2. Set a deposit per page

In Bookings, click Deposit on the page, enter the amount in Rand, choose Yoco or PayFast, and click Save deposit.

What happens

• The customer picks a time and is sent to the secure Yoco or PayFast payment page.
• The slot is held while they pay. Unpaid bookings are released automatically after the hold time.
• When payment succeeds the booking is confirmed and your calendar event changes from tentative to confirmed.
