Pay@ has partnered with R&A to bring bill payments to spaza shops and traders across South Africa. Through your R&A device, your shop can now connect to 500+ billers on the Pay@ network, from municipal accounts and insurance premiums to smartphone repayments and subscriptions. Meaning customers can now settle multiple bills at their local spaza shop.

Who is R&A?

R&A is a one-stop payment and prepaid solutions provider for traders with card acceptance devices behind the counters of 16 000 spaza shops and small independent traders across the country, giving traders the tools to sell everyday services on a single system. R&A's one stop payment platform helps simplify traders' day-to-day operations through reliable technology and 24/7 technical support.

Many bills, one stop

Right now, customers looking to pay their bills have to travel and go to different places. With Pay@ on your R&A device, that whole errand stays local, and your shop is where it all happens. That gives your regulars another reason to stop by, and help you meet your customers where they already are.

How to pay - Customers can easily settle bills at any spaza shop or trader with Pay@ on an R&A device

1. Customers can use their unique Pay@ reference number, found on their invoice, statement, or WhatsApp message from the biller, and share it at the till.
2. The trader selects Pay@ on their R&A device.
3. Enter the reference number, and the bill details appear on screen.
4. Confirm the amount and confirm to pay with cash or card.
5. The payment is processed in real-time and the biller is notified immediately.
6. A receipt is provided for proof of payment.

Why this matters for traders and spaza shop owners

Pay@ runs on the R&A device already on your counter, so there is no extra machine to buy and no new supplier to manage. Bill payments simply join the airtime, data, and electricity you sell every day, all on one system. And because that device accepts cards, taps, your customers can settle their bills whichever way suits them.

Having Pay@ on your R&A device gives customers another convenient way to pay, making your shop a one-stop destination for everyday payment needs.
