November 28, 2025

How 1Voucher Works for Prepaid Digital Payments?

1Voucher is a widely adopted prepaid digital voucher system used across South Africa and neighboring regions. It allows customers to buy a single-use voucher – typically from major retailers, supermarkets, local shops or other channels, and redeem the code as secure digital payment.

This is especially popular because it gives customers safe, cash-based way to pay online without needing bank card or mobile wallet.

Where 1Voucher Is Most Popular:

  • Cash driven markets. 1Voucher is widely used in areas where customers rely on cash-based or prepaid payment methods
  • South African communities. Where access to traditional banking is limited
  • Hotspot & Internet Services. 1Voucher is popular for hotspot and ISPs, allowing to easily top up access with prepaid vouchers

Now, with direct integration, 1Voucher is native payment option within Powerlynx. This means businesses can offer it directly at plans, simplifying the payment flow, improving transaction reliability, and providing smoother experience for both merchants and customers.
