Connect Paystack to Kajabi

Stripe isn't supported in South Africa, which means course platforms like Kajabi, Thinkific, and Teachable won't let you accept local payments out of the box.

CheckoutJoy solves this by connecting Paystack to Kajabi. Payments go directly to your Paystack account, and you can pay out to any South African bank — usually by the next business day.

What You'll Build

A custom checkout page in Kajabi with an embedded CheckoutJoy widget that:

• Accepts Rand payments via Paystack (card, SnapScan, EFT, Scan to Pay)
• Automatically grants offer access after payment
• Triggers your Kajabi automations

The whole process takes about 5-10 minutes.

Prerequisites

• A Kajabi account with an existing offer
• A Paystack account
• A CheckoutJoy account (14-day free trial available)

9. Copy the embed code from the Embed tab

Step 4: Build Your Kajabi Checkout Page

1. In Kajabi, go to Website → Pages → New Page

3. Add your sales content on one side

Recommended Page Structure

• Header section: Two columns — sales copy/image + checkout widget
• Testimonials section: Social proof (the more the better)
• FAQ section: Address objections

Layout Tip

Select your section and enable Equal Height Blocks under Desktop Layout to align your columns properly.

Payment Options

Customers can pay using any method enabled in your Paystack account:

• Credit/debit card (in Rands)

• Scan to Pay

After payment, the Paystack popup confirms success and customers are redirected to your thank you page with automatic access to your Kajabi offer.
