Flutterwave vs Paystack: which should you use in 2021?

Please bear in mind that I am writing this post in comparison between these two fin-tech giants (flutterwave vs paystack) as a software engineer. I have used these two platforms over the years and it is time for me to give you my honest but unbiased opinion about them.

Let’s consider these them based on 5 categories

  • Country coverage
  • Rate of charge (- processing fee)
  • Ease of use and friendliness
  • Popularity
  • Support – (in terms of response time)

Without further story, let’s dive into it. Shall we?

Country Coverage: The both companies targets the African market and tries to steal our hearts with their services. Of cause, the African market is huge making about $600m or more of the entire market in the world right now by CGTN with the largest fintech residing in Nigeria amongst who are flutterwave and paystack. Paystack according to their website only supports 3 countries; Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa for reasons best known to them, while on the other hand flutterwave according to their website, supports 15 countries; Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Mozambique, Morocco, South Africa, Zambia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Gambia and Mauritius.

Aside from these, I had cause to integrate a payment solution in D.R Congo and even though this country was not listed on their signup page, I was able to integrate by contacting their support team. So on this category, FLUTTERWAVE WINS.

Rate of Charge: It is important for all fintechs to state their rate of charges i.e processing fees. Of cause they are out there to make money haven provided an easy payment integration solution for businesses. This category is actually based on country so I’ll use Nigeria as case study. Paystack charges 1.5% + N100 for local transaction and 3.9 % + 100 for international transaction with a cap of N2000 (means charges cannot exceed 2000), they also with waive the N100 for transactions under N2500. On the other hand, Flutterwave charges 1.4% with a cap of N2000 for local transactions and 3.8% for international transactions. The numbers speak for themselves and flutterwave seem to have lower processing fee charges. So on this category, FLUTTERWAVE WINS.

Ease of use and Friendliness: This category is very subjective to be honest. I say this because, there are many angles to look at this from; like i said before, I am doing my comparison as a software developer. A regular user may not agree with me on my opinion. Having said that, I found the Paystack documentation and API much easier to use and integrate than that of flutterwave. Also looking at their website landing pages for regular users to sign up, create things like stores or just to have a dashboard, I’ll still give it to Paystack on this one. I can say for sure that paystack’s platform was modelled after Stripe’s who eventually acquired them in 2020 So for this category, PAYSTACK WINS.

Popularity: This category is really dicy because Paystack was founded in 2015 and flutterwave was fouded a year after that, 2016, but the fact that flutterwave operates in 15 countries and paystack in 3 speaks for itself. More people know flutterwave than paystack now. Also, I should say that flutterwave has built more relationships with Asia, and particularly in China with the likes of Alibaba’s Alipay. So for this category, FLUTTERWAVE WINS

Technical Support (response time): Again, this is based on my personal dealings with flutterwave and paystack support teams. I’ll cut right to the chase. Flutterwave’s support team were very helpful when I had a little difficulty integrating their API, but they responded poorly in terms of response time, I really don’t know why, and then I found Paystack’s team to be very diligent and pain-staking with fantastic response time for a small issue I had. In fact, I didn’t have to contact them for integration because the documentation was clear right out of the box. So for this category, PAYSTACK WINS

SUMMARY: Flutterwave vs paystack

I have considered 5 key points in form of categories to base my comparison and like I said, this is my personal opinion. You may have a different opinion or experience about these two giants, but in summary, I think I will stick with Flutterwave because they have wider coverage for my clients, lower processing fees and though their support team is a bit slow, they are still very helpful once you reach them.

So that’s all for now guys… If you have a different opinion about this, kindly leave a comment on this post

Concerned about a missed period but certain you’re not pregnant? Missed or late periods occur for a variety of causes other than pregnancy. Common reasons range from hormone abnormalities to life-threatening medical disorders.

In addition, there are two occasions in a woman’s life when it is quite natural for her period to be irregular: when it first begins and when menopause begins. Your usual cycle may become erratic while your body goes through the adjustment.

The majority of women who have not achieved menopause get a menstruation every 28 days. A healthy menstrual cycle, on the other hand, might last anywhere from 21 to 35 days. If your period falls outside of these ranges, it might be due to one of the following factors.

Low body weight

Missed periods are common in women suffering from eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia. Weighing 10% less than what is deemed typical for your height might disrupt the way your body operates and even stop ovulation. Getting therapy for your eating problem and gaining weight in a healthy way can help you get back on track. Women who engage in strenuous activity, such as marathons, may have a cessation of their menstrual cycle.

Stress

Stress may disrupt your hormones, disrupt your daily pattern, and even alter the area of your brain that regulates your period – the hypothalamus. It can cause illness or rapid weight increase or loss over time, all of which might disrupt your cycle. If you suspect that stress is interfering with your menstruation, consider practicing relaxation methods and adopting lifestyle adjustments. Including additional exercise in your routine may help you get back on track.

Birth Control

When you start or stop using birth control, your cycle may fluctuate. Birth control tablets include the chemicals estrogen and progestin, which inhibit egg production in your ovaries. After discontinuing the pill, it may take up to six months for your cycle to return to normal. Other kinds of implanted or injectable contraception can also cause missing periods.

Early Peri-menopause

Menopause usually begins between the ages of 45 and 55 for most people. Women who start symptoms at the age of 40 or earlier are said to be in early peri-menopause. This indicates that your egg supply is diminishing, which will result in missing periods and, finally, the cessation of menstruation.

Chronic disease

Diabetes and celiac disease, for example, might have an impact on your menstrual cycle. Changes in blood sugar are connected to hormonal changes, thus even though it is uncommon, poorly managed diabetes can induce irregular periods.

Celiac disease causes inflammation in the small intestine, which may hinder your body from receiving essential nutrients. This might result in missing or late periods.

Obesity

Being overweight can trigger hormonal changes in the same way as being underweight may. If your doctor determines that obesity is a cause in your late or skipped periods, he or she will prescribe a diet and exercise regimen.

Entrepreneurship is for everyone, but not everyone can be. To be honest, it is difficult to become an entrepreneur. This takes a lot of time, energy, skills and sometimes money. Another reality is that not everyone is born to be an entrepreneur.

From the outside, it looks fun, challenging, and straightforward. Once you get into the game, there will be a lot of hard work, long days, and frustration, and there will be exciting times from time to time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an entrepreneur, but I don’t think everyone is fit to be an entrepreneur

Entrepreneurship is only suitable for those who can surpass mediocrity and walk on this path of continuous improvement. Not everyone has an entrepreneurial mindset. Many, many people prefer to let others make important decisions.

With the power of the Internet, anyone can start an online business and sell a certain product or service. But one thing you must understand is that starting as an entrepreneur does not mean that you will become an entrepreneur. 95% of small business fail in the first five years for a reason. This is because so-called “entrepreneurs” are not qualified to operate businesses. They lack the skills and qualities necessary to become successful entrepreneurs. They started their business just to make money, and then quit 9-5 jobs.

Becoming an entrepreneur has nothing to do with what you know, your experience, but everything you are willing to do to be successful. Not everyone is suitable to be their own boss. You must have the “right thing”. You need a lot of discipline, confidence, and willingness to go beyond your comfort zone. In addition, you need to feel comfortable working alone. Many people draw energy from interactions with others at work and find that doing business for themselves can be very isolated.

There’s this pressure to be start a business because practically, everyone is selling something. You shouldn’t start a business because everyone is doing business that is a wrong reason to start rather focus on creating a solution to a problem. If you really want to be an entrepreneur you can always be as long as you’re ready to have the WILLINGNESS to stay through it all, the challenges, the bumps and ride. Entrepreneurship is beyond the flashy cars and suit.

Waist trainers are underwear made of thick fabric and hard metal bone, worn around the tummy and fasten with a lacing or hook. It is mainly worn to make your waist softer and smaller. Waist trainers are garments similar to corsets or girdle, they can make the waist slim and help people get an hourglass figure. It is believed that the waist can be “trained” to maintain a slimmer shape after prolonged and frequent use. Some people suggest that wearing a waist trainer during exercise can help you lose weight.

Waist trainers can temporarily reduce waist size, and ond sees immediate results. However, once the waist trainer is removed, the waist no longer look smaller.

Waist trainer will not reduce a person’s body fat. People who want to lose fat around the abdomen or reduce overall weight should not rely on the use of a waist trainer to do this. However, a person can experience loss of appetite while using a waist trainer, or puts pressure on the stomach, making you feel “full”.

In general, it is recommended that the waist trainer be used for 8 hours during the day, as this is considered risky. Wearing it in bed is also not safe. It is strongly recommended not to use during exercise.

What are the risks and side effect?

Wearing a tight waist trainer for a long time, especially a steel corset, can actually cause your organs to move permanently and cause permanent internal damage.

The doctor recommends that you proceed with caution and do not put unnecessary pressure on your abdomen, as this will also restrict blood flow to the organs, which can be very dangerous. Also, the upper organs and lower organs can move from their respective positions. When your internal organs are misaligned, the result can be painful, not to mention dangerous.

If you attach it firmly to the skin for a long time, abrasions may occur which may cause discomfort. You might think that the rash is just the guarantee necessary to achieve the hourglass look you want. However, be aware that some rashes can cause infection if left untreated. There are many other side effects of waist trainers. Also note that it also has it advantages. It can help with correcting posture etc.
