Support Rhino Pay

Rhino Pay is free at the stall. We intend to keep it that way for buyers and sellers.

Shakan Innovations covers the running costs of the platform. Your support helps us keep informal trade digital and instant.

What your support covers

  • PayShap and payment partners. We cover Ozow and gateway fees on every sale during the pilot.
  • SMS alerts: payment confirmations and cash-out codes so vendors never miss a sale.
  • Cash-out network: Flash vouchers so sellers withdraw at Checkers, Pick n Pay, Spar, and more.
  • QR kits and branding: printed stickers and starter materials for pilot vendors.
  • Platform and security: hosting, identity checks, and the team keeping Rhino Pay running.

What we never charge

Buyers pay R0 through Rhino Pay. Vendors keep 100% of every sale in their wallet. We do not take a percentage at the traffic light. Sustainability comes from community support and partner programmes, not taxing a R30 snack.

R20 helps send a handful of vendor SMS alerts. R50 contributes toward payment costs for a day of stall trade. Every rand goes toward keeping the curb free.

Contributions are voluntary. Never required to pay or sell on Rhino Pay. Learn more about us
