If you’re taking deposits for online bookings and selling vouchers online through Kitomba Online Booking, you can now choose Kitomba Pay as your online payment gateway.

If you’re currently using PayPal for your online payments and want to know the key differences, this guide will tell you everything you need to know before you make the switch to Kitomba Pay.

One of the main benefits of using Kitomba Pay over PayPal is that it’s considerably cheaper.
PayPal charges a higher transaction fee on every payment processed, plus a higher rate, than Kitomba Pay. Kitomba Pay offers much lower domestic and international rates, which will save you money!

Automatic next-day funding
Being in the hair and beauty industry we know how important it is to get paid faster to improve your cash flow. If you use PayPal as your payment gateway you need to manually transfer funds from your PayPal account into your business’s bank account.
With Kitomba Pay, funds will be automatically paid into your nominated bank account the next business day. That means you don’t have to worry about manually transferring funds, which can be time-consuming.
Additionally, in some countries, PayPal charges (yet more) fees when you transfer funds. With Kitomba Pay, you can save time and money by avoiding these additional fees altogether.
Unlimited, free support
When you have questions or are experiencing issues, it’s important that support is at hand to help. With Kitomba Pay, you’ll receive unlimited free support from our team six days a week with emergency support available on Sundays, contactable by phone, webchat and email. PayPal doesn’t offer this level of support, and it can be challenging to have your queries answered within a reasonable timeframe.
That means with Kitomba Pay you can get the help you need when you need it, without having to deal with the frustration of waiting on hold for hours, waiting weeks for a reply to an email, or not receiving helpful solutions to your issues.
