Hi Ridwan,

Just wondering what is the difference or relationship between https://www.flutterwavedev.com/ and https://ravepay.co ?

I already have a flutterwavedev account, is there any way I can tie that account to ravepay? I assume ravepay is just a plug and play interface over the former.

I would also like to know that charges on ravepay. It is not stated on the website.

Thank you

I have a business that requires my clients pay me 50% upfront, 50% after goods are delivered. How can I configure Rave for my model?

Hey how’s it going Ridwan…
Specifically, how is Flutterwave different from Interswitch?

Yes boss, please start.

Hi Ridwan,

What are rave’s plans for integrations into third party services, I currently use Zoho to send invoices to my clients but I want them to start paying directly on the invoice sent.

I would also like to know if you have plans for any plug and play payment invoice solution on rave, I am using Rave on my site and for some reason, my customer is complaining that modal doesn’t open I would like to send him an invoice asap so he can pay and I can deliver service.

Hi Ridwan, which of Flutterwave’s products can a non techy guy set up and use to accept payments real quick

Yes you can!
Ridwan will begin to answer questions shortly

I want to learn programming, how do I go about it ?

Hi Desola,

What you need is www.invoice.ng. Payment is powered by the Flutterwave API.

I hope it meets your needs.

Regards,

Thank you Aayan for asking this question.

Ravepay is a simple payment gateway for accepting payments easily.

Advantages of using Ravepay:

  1. Rave pay is so simple to use, you can complete integration in an hour if you know what you are doing.
  2. Customer card details are secure and do not go through your web server
  3. Ravepay comes with a lot of plugins for e-commerce solutions to ease your payment needs.
  4. No PCI DSS certification is needed by the websites/startups using ravepay.

Ravepay charges merchant 1.4% + N50 naira for local cards.

Hello Ridwan,

I have an e-commerce website and i’d like to receive payments online and from my customers in person (pay on delivery) does flutterwave have anything that can help me?

I’m very interested in the two solutions - online and offline syncing in real time for my records.
