South African payments infrastructure company Stitch has launched PayShap Request for enterprise customers, offering real-time payment collection across all major South African banks. Businesses can send a payment request directly to a customer’s banking app, where the customer can review and approve the transaction. On the acquiring side, Stitch maintains active connections to multiple acquirers simultaneously, rather than relying on a single acquiring bank. PayShap Request is available through the same Stitch API that powers Pay by bank, Capitec Pay, card payments through Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Wallet and Pay Later. Businesses already integrated with Stitch can access PayShap Request without a separate build.
