Peach Payments

This article gives an orientation on the relevant features, to assist with payments operations, once a merchant has gone LIVE.

This covers reconciliation (recon), settlement (deposit of sales into business account), and reporting.

Viewing transaction status and reporting

With regards to reporting, you have access to a console dashboard.

To see what you have been charged, on a monthly basis, you will receive an invoice that contains a tally of all relevant transaction types and corresponding costs.

Understanding why payments are not successful

You can also see which transactions make up the total of what is settled in your bank account. The link below shows you how to reconcile this, using your bank account balance, your website orders, and the Peach transaction data in the console.

Settlement 

Settlement is the payment of funds into your business bank account, for the money collected from customers, when they buy from your online shop or business.

How to find out which merchant account you are using - While setting up with Peach payments;

Did you sign an agreement directly with the bank (eg. ABSA, Nedbank or FNB merchant agreement?)

If the answer is No, then you are most likely using a Peach merchant account

If your answer is Yes, then you are using an ISO Merchant account with Nedbank, ABSA or FNB)

ISO Merchant account

Nedbank

• You should receive settlement on a daily basis from Nedbank. What you make online today, will reflect in your bank account within normal bank clearing periods (typically 1 business day).

ABSA

• You should receive settlement on a daily basis from Absa. What you make online today, will reflect in your bank account within normal bank clearing periods (typically 2 business days).

FNB

• You should receive settlement T + 2 FNB, this means if the transaction is on the Monday, you would be settled on the Wednesday. What you make online today, will reflect in your bank account within 2 days bank clearing periods (typically 2 business days). The settlement cycle will be dependent on what FNB has set up on your profile with FNB. No settlements on bank / public holidays and Sunday's
