About our PayFast status page integration

PayFast is a Finance and eCommerce solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since August 2021. Over the past over 3 years, we have collected data on on more than 637 outages that affected PayFast users. When PayFast publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 83 components and 10 groups using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

If you're wondering, "Is PayFast down?", or need to know its current status, we've got you covered. Our platform tracks every reported outage, performance issue, and maintenance window to ensure you're informed. Whether PayFast is experiencing a problem now or has recently resolved one, our detailed history keeps you updated.

More than 100 StatusGator users monitor PayFast to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular eCommerce services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 1,400 notifications to our users about PayFast incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

  • Down Notifications

    If PayFast is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.

  • Warning Notifications

    Warn notifications are used when PayFast is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

  • Maintenance Notifications

    PayFast posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when PayFast enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.

  • Status Messages

    When PayFast posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.

  • Status Details

    When PayFast has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.

  • Component Status Filtering

    Because PayFast has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you whenever a particular component is down. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
