It is the only platform in Africa that actually allows African Entrepreneurs to compete on a global stage.
I remember Shola Akinlade talking about how this was the goal - t make sure we could play on a global stage without all the inaccessibility that as Africans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You sold out to Stripe...
Why this sucks is because now Paystack is a direct competitor of Stripe and now none of my platforms feel the need to integrate with you.
So I can't use Circle.so, Beehiiv or any really enabling entrepreneurship tools in a way that actually allows me to make money for my business.
Now I'm stuck begging tool providers to integrate with you, but I'm pretty sure your parent company, Stripe, has some kind of non-compete which makes them refuse to integrate with Paystack.
You've done an exceptional disservice to your own mission, your continent and your audience by selling out to Stripe and ensuring that African businesses will never be able to play fairly on a global stage.
We will have to pay more for tools with less payment functionality.
We have to pay more for automations and integrations just to make things actually work.
And then we will STILL end up scaring customers away because of all the complicated steps in our buyer journey because you sold out to Stripe and now have essentially blocked African's out of the international market - or doomed us to expensive operational setups.
(YET internationals still think we should charge less as "cheap" labour from Africa).
This isn't spoken about enough and I think both Stripe and Paystack need to take accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
