About Paystack
Paystack breaks an 18-month public changelog silence with a small but practical fee-control toggle.
Paystack's public changelog had been dormant since late 2024 and just resumed with a fee pass-through setting in the Nigeria Dashboard. Looking back across the last 10 entries, the visible body of work is a pan-African expansion story: new payment methods (OPay, PocketApp, Apple Pay), geographic launches and beta cohorts (Kenya transfers, Virtual Terminal across four countries, beta access in Cote d'Ivoire/Egypt/Rwanda), and merchant tooling (Payouts on Demand, Direct Debit beta, international cards on Terminal).
