Pay before the light turns green.

You are at the traffic light, the vendor is ready, and you do not have exact change. Rhino Pay lets the buyer pay from the banking app already on their phone.

The light turns green, the money's already in.

The vendor gets an SMS the moment the buyer approves. No chasing cash, no lost sale because the customer drove off.

Cash in hand before you pack up the stall.

Withdraw at Checkers, Pick n Pay, Spar, or Flash the same day. Keep trading without a business bank account at the stall.

How it works

1

Display QR

Vendor prints a QR sticker. No card machine, no monthly fees.

2

Customer pays

Buyer scans, enters the amount, and approves in their banking app.

3

Vendor gets paid

Payment lands instantly. Withdraw at national retailers the same day.

Your buyer approves, you get paid

Security

Buyers approve every payment in their own banking app. PayShap is regulated by PayInc (formerly BankservAfrica) and participating banks.

Settlement

Vendors see confirmed sales instantly. Withdraw earnings the same day at Checkers, PnP, Spar, and Flash.

Reliability

Built for the stall, not the boardroom. SMS alerts when you get paid, even on a basic phone.

Compliance

Identity verification before withdrawals. Operated by Shakan Innovations. We are not a bank and do not take deposits.
