Accept SeerBit
without building the integration
SeerBit is a pan-African payment gateway covering West, East and Southern Africa, with local acquiring in several markets. It accepts cards, USSD, bank transfer and direct debit through one integration, which suits merchants selling across more than one African country from a single storefront.

SeerBit fees and pricing
Two separate bills, and only one of them exists.
- What PaymentHood charges
- Nothing on your SeerBit transactions. No percentage and no per-transaction cut, at any volume. Every payment feature is free, and the optional Premium plan only adds white-label checkout branding.
- What SeerBit charges
- SeerBit sets its own rates and bills you directly. PaymentHood never sits between you and that invoice, so switching to or from SeerBit changes what you pay SeerBit and nothing else.
- What moves the rate
- Payment providers price per market and per method rather than as a single global figure. SeerBit operates across 8 countries, so the country the payment is taken in matters. It settles in NGN, GHS, KES, UGX, XOF, ZAR, USD, and cross-currency transactions are not priced the same as domestic ones. It also accepts 5 different payment methods, and card, transfer and wallet rails each carry their own cost.
- Where to check the figure
- SeerBit publishes current rates on their own site (opens in new tab). That is the authority, not this page. We deliberately quote no numbers here, because a rate that has quietly changed is worse than no rate at all.
How PaymentHood works with SeerBit
A direct SeerBit integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- Public and secret keys exchanged for a bearer token, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Webhook security
- Signed transaction notification, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction query against the SeerBit API before fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when SeerBit is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across SeerBit and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
