Zapper

Zapper is a South African payments-enabled marketing platform that lets your business accept in-person and online payments while using transaction data to run loyalty, voucher, and customer engagement campaigns. You sign up as a merchant, connect Zapper to your point of sale or eCommerce flow, then customers pay via QR, card, instant EFT, or the Zapper app, with their spend and visit history feeding into your marketing and rewards tools.

Zapper follows a paid, pay-per-transaction model for merchants, with no general subscription fee advertised for the standard basic plan. The pricing page lists a Standard Basic Plan with 2.9% per-transaction fees (excluding VAT) and no monthly charges, and notes that Quick Capital funding is offered as a separate product with its own costs.

Zapper is focused on the South African market and is designed for businesses operating in South Africa. It also references reach to millions of local customers through its own user base and partners, but it does not present itself as a global acquiring solution.

To sign up as a Zapper merchant, you choose a pricing plan on zapper.com, then complete the online registration flow to create your merchant account. Once approved, you can access the Merchant Portal to configure payment methods, online payment tools, and customer engagement features.

Yes, Zapper has a mobile app for consumers on both Android and iOS. Customers use the app to scan QR codes, pay, earn and redeem rewards, receive vouchers, and interact with participating businesses.
