Accepting manual bank transfers

Bank transfer lets you accept payments directly into your own bank account, without a payment processor in between. It is a good option if you do not have Paystack set up yet, or want a backup payment method.

Setting it up

In Settings → Payments, select Bank transfer, choose your bank, enter your account number. We get the account name from your bank and save it, so customers see your real name and a note that Vezstora checked it. That also counts toward the Verified seller badge. When a customer places an order, they get these details along with the exact amount to send and a short order reference to use as the transfer narration. They can tap to copy each one.

Confirming payment

Because bank transfer is manual, there is no automatic confirmation. An order placed this way sits as pending transfer until you check your bank account and mark it as paid from the order page. Once the customer has sent the money, they can tap I've sent the transfer, which lets you know it is worth checking. It is worth checking new orders regularly so customers are not left waiting.

Reducing mistakes

Since customers are transferring manually, double-check your account details are entered correctly before going live. Customers are asked to use their order reference as the transfer narration, so you can match payments to orders quickly.
