Questions

Is PayFast down, or is it just me?

The PayFast status page reports no problem and our own checks reach payfast.io. If it isn't working for you, the cause is more likely near you: your network, your browser, or a problem only in your area. Try another network or device.

How do we know?

We read the official PayFast status page and load payfast.io from our own probes in several cities. We don't guess from social media posts or reports.

How often do we check?

The status page every 15 minutes, day and night, and the website every 5 minutes. We keep 90 days of history: a day we have no reading for shows as "no data yet", never as working.

Official status from the PayFast status page. HonkWatch also checks websites from 24 cities.
