Frequently asked questions
How does Stitch source its enterprise clients?
Stitch sells directly to in-country enterprise treasuries and engineering teams, with public reference clients spanning telecoms (MTN, Vodacom/VodaPay), mass retail (Bash, Takealot), and on-demand delivery (Mr D). Its contact page routes through a dedicated enterprise sales team based in Cape Town, suggesting a high-touch, direct-sales motion rather than a self-serve funnel.
Does Stitch operate only in South Africa?
All publicly listed clients and use cases on the firm's website are South African, and its platform is described as covering 'any available payment methods in South Africa.' No cross-border offices or multi-currency capabilities are disclosed, indicating the firm is currently single-market.
What compliance certifications does Stitch hold?
Stitch states it is ISO 27001 certified for information security management and PCI DSS Level 1 certified for payment-card data security. PCI DSS Level 1 is the highest merchant and service-provider level, requiring annual on-site assessments and quarterly network scans.
Is Stitch a bank or a licensed financial institution?
The firm's website does not claim a banking license. It operates as a payment gateway and technical service provider, integrating directly with multiple South African banks and networks to process transactions, payouts, and collections on behalf of its enterprise clients.
What is Stitch Express?
Stitch Express is a pre-built payments integration for e-commerce platforms — specifically Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, and Webflow. It layers enterprise-grade routing, tokenization, and alternative payment methods onto mid-market merchant checkouts without requiring custom API development.
