Payfast
Connects Claude to PayFast, South Africa's payment gateway, letting you query transactions, manage subscriptions, and process refunds through conversational prompts. You get 13 tools covering everything from basic connectivity checks to high-risk operations like canceling subscriptions or charging stored tokens. It defaults to sandbox mode and marks destructive actions (pauses, cancellations, refunds) as requiring human approval. Setup is straightforward with environment variables for your merchant credentials. Reach for this if you're building payment workflows for South African merchants and want to handle PayFast operations without leaving your AI assistant.
