We are excited to introduce PesaPal, now officially integrated with Flicknexs to bring you fast, secure, and region ready payment support customized for the African market.

Whether you are streaming to audiences in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, or anywhere across East Africa, PesaPal makes it easy for your viewers to pay using the methods they trust most, which are mobile money, bank transfers, and local currencies.

As video streaming continues to surge across the continent, many OTT platforms still hit a wall when it comes to monetizing local audiences. 

The challenge? Lack of accessible, reliable payment options. With PesaPal now part of Flicknexs, that barrier is gone, giving creators and businesses a smarter, friction-free way to collect payments and grow revenue from day one.

Here is Why This Integration Changes the Game in Africa

Africa’s OTT market is growing, but monetization remains a challenge due to limited access to local payment methods.

With PesaPal now integrated into Flicknexs, creators can finally offer trusted, mobile-friendly payment options which makes it easier for viewers to pay, subscribe and engage. It is a game-changer for regional growth and revenue.

What Is PesaPal?

PesaPal is a trusted digital payment gateway serving over eight African countries, with a strong presence across East Africa.

It supports a wide range of payment methods including mobile money (like M-Pesa, Airtel Money, and MTN Mobile Money), credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), and local bank transfers. 

This flexibility makes it ideal for OTT platforms, allowing users to pay via their preferred method.

PesaPal also supports local currency settlements (KES, UGX, TZS), which makes the transactions smooth and eliminates currency conversion issues.

Key Benefits of PesaPal Integration on Flicknexs

Accept payments in local African currencies

With PesaPal on Flicknexs, you can now accept payments in local currencies like Kenyan Shillings (KES), Ugandan Shillings (UGX), Tanzanian Shillings (TZS), and Rwandan Francs (RWF).

This eliminates the need for dollar conversions, reduces the risk of failed transactions, and simplifies financial management across borders.

Offer mobile money options preferred by users

In Africa mobile money is king. Services like M-Pesa and Airtel Money are not just common, they are how people expect to pay. By offering these options, you are making it easy for viewers to subscribe with just a few taps on their phones.

Reach underbanked audiences with ease

Millions of people across Africa do not use credit cards or traditional banks, but they do have mobile wallets. 

With PesaPal, you are no longer locked with one way of collecting payments. You are opening the door to everyone with a mobile phone and a data connection.

Reduce payment failures

There is nothing more annoying than losing a customer because of a payment error. Global gateways often glitch on local networks, but PesaPal is made for Africa, so your payments go through. 

No more failed checkouts, no more lost revenue. Just smooth and reliable transactions every time.

Boost trust and conversion rates

When people see payment options they know and trust, they feel more comfortable spending. By showing familiar names like M-Pesa or MTN Mobile Money at checkout, you are giving users that extra push to click “pay now” and come back again next time.

How to Enable PesaPal on Your Flicknexs Platform

Enabling PesaPal on your Flicknexs platform is simple. Just log into your admin panel, head to Settings and click Payments, and select PesaPal from the list. Add your API and Secret Key from PesaPal, hit Save Changes and you are done! 

Your viewers can now pay using trusted and local payment options.
