Direct payment links for in-game purchases—global buyers, Zim payouts.
Game developers in Zimbabwe have their payouts delayed or blocked by international payment gateways that reject Zimbabwean currency, preventing global app monetization.
GamePayZim generates embeddable payment links and APIs for Unity/Unreal games, accepting cards/crypto from anywhere and settling to Zim mobile money instantly. Bypasses app store cuts and gateway blocks with African gateway integrations like Flutterwave. Devs customize products like 'gem packs' with one dashboard.
