Get started with iKhokha
Create your iKhokha profile, add your business details and complete the required checks to get your business ready to accept payments.
1. Create your iKhokha profile
You can sign up on your card machine, in the iKhokha app or on the iKhokha website. You can complete your setup later if you don't have everything ready.
Enter your email address and mobile number, then create a password. Use these same login details whenever you return to complete your setup.
If you start on a card machine, you'll need to continue on your phone or computer. Scan the QR code or open the email link shown on the machine to continue.
2. Get set up to accept payments
Once you've created your profile, open the iK Dashboard and select Get started to continue setting up your business.
You'll see cards for the information you need to complete. Open each card and fill in the details about yourself and your business. Your information will be submitted automatically once all the required sections are complete.
The information you need to provide depends on your business type. Choose the option that matches your business to find out what you need to get set up:
3. Wait for approval
Once you've submitted the required information, iKhokha will review your details.
Keep an eye on your email in case iKhokha needs anything else. If iKhokha asks for additional information or documents, send them so the review can continue.
You'll need approval before you can start accepting payments.
4. Start taking payments
Once your business is approved, set up the iKhokha product you want to use to take payments.
If you're using a card machine, log in with the same email address and password you used to create your iKhokha profile. Your card machine should link automatically. If it doesn't, follow the instructions shown on the machine. For the full setup, see Set up your card machine.
Once your card machine is ready, make a real payment to check that it's working. The payment can be for as little as R2.00.
