Sell your photos online, in rand, paid out through PayFast.
To sell photos online in South Africa you need three things: a gallery your clients can shop from, prices in rand, and a way to get paid that local clients trust. Pixsa gives you all three. Upload the shoot, set your prices for downloads, prints and canvases, and send the link. Clients pay through PayFast by card, Instant EFT or SnapScan, and the money lands in your own PayFast account. You pay a flat monthly plan from R 99 and keep 100% of every sale. No dollar billing, no overseas checkout, no waiting for a payout.
No credit card. 0% commission. Paid in rand through PayFast.
Why an overseas platform costs more than it looks
Dollar subscriptions move with the exchange rate. Overseas checkouts are built around Stripe and PayPal, which many South African clients do not use. Print catalogues and shipping are set up for other countries.
Set your own prices, in rand
Digital download price per gallery, a print and canvas price list by size, bundles at one price, and an optional free allowance. Change them any time; the gallery updates.
Get paid the South African way
PayFast is the checkout your clients already know. Pixsa connects to your PayFast merchant account; the money never passes through us. Starter and up can sell; the Free plan is for sharing.
Prints without the admin
Clients choose courier (your fee, free over an amount you set) or collection. Paid orders come out as a lab-ready zip and packing list.
See what sells
The Orders page shows every checkout: paid, pending, prints. Export to CSV for your books.
