Selling across 15+ markets means different rules, partners, and timelines in each.
Happy Customer Service Week to the team that never clocks off.
#CustomerServiceWeek
Most companies expanding into African markets take months to process their first transaction.
The ones that get it right take 14 days or even less.
We tracked 1.9 million transactions across 15+ African markets to understand what separates them.
The 2026 State of MoR in Africa is live 🎉

$10,731 lost in 7 days.
That's one story from 12 months of transaction data across 15 African markets and 1.9 million payments.
Tomorrow, we show you what it costs to get African payments wrong and what changes when you get it right.
66 years ago, our founding fathers drew the blueprint for a nation that could stand on its own.
But a blueprint can't open a shop, ship an order, or write the code. People do.
To everyone building Nigeria today: thank you for keeping the promise alive.
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria 🕊️
Incorporate. Find a local director. Open a local account. Wait 12 weeks. Hope nothing goes wrong.
Or don't.
Startbutton can be your merchant of record.
Erase all the steps. Sell from Day 1.

Submit application. Wait. Resubmit. Wait. 3 months. 6 months. 18 months.
The licensing journey is full of hurdles.
With Startbutton Africa, you handle the selling; we handle licensing.
No more hurdles. Sell from Day 1.

Without Startbutton, you build local rails, get FX approval, wait for settlement. And then, rebuild for the next market.
It's like being stuck repeating the same thing in an argument.
With Startbutton, you have access to local payment infrastructure across 15 African markets. Already built.
Sell from Day 1.

The People of Startbutton.
We had the opportunity to capture headshots for the team at Startbutton during their team’s retreat and it was such a beautiful experience.

One market = One tax framework
Five markets = Five tax frameworks.
All yours to comply with. Can be as frustrating as being stuck in traffic.
Startbutton = Tax registration across 15 markets.
Our headache, not yours.
Sell from Day 1.
Some lessons arrive late. This one doesn't have to.

Look beyond the payment infrastructure @paystack created, and you’ll see that the fintech giant also gave Africa bold, ambitious builders.
From Idorenyin Obong, who went from building at Paystack to founding @greyfinance , to Femi Aluko, who helped lead Paystack’s engineering before co-founding @chowdeck ; Douglas Kendyson, who went on to build @tryselar , to Mallick Bolakale, who now runs @StartbuttonHQ ; and Cossi Achille Arouko, who is building @BujetiHQ , Paystack’s alumni have gone on to build companies of their own and shape Africa’s digital economy. And they are only a few of the builders who came through Paystack.
