How It Works

How the Driveway Magic Happens.

Shaya Pay bridges the gap between digital payments and physical reality. We use standard NFC technology to make tipping as fast as tapping a card.

Step 1: The Hardware

The Silicone NFC Wristband

Every attendant on shift wears a durable, waterproof silicone wristband. Embedded inside is a passive NFC (Near Field Communication) chip.

This chip acts like a digital business card. It requires no battery, no charging, and no Bluetooth pairing. It simply holds a unique secure link to that specific attendant's digital profile.

Step 2: The Tap

The Smartphone Scan

While the fuel is pumping, the driver pulls out their smartphone. They simply tap the top of their phone against the attendant's wristband.

Because Apple and Android devices have built-in NFC readers, the phone instantly detects the chip and opens the attendant's secure Shaya Pay tipping page—no app download required.

Step 3: The Payment

Instant Checkout & Delivery

The driver selects an amount (e.g., R20) and pays instantly using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or their saved Shaya Pay wallet.

The money is instantly routed into the attendant's personal digital wallet. They can cash out to their bank account, use it to buy airtime, or transfer it to a peer.

Financial Empowerment at the Driveway.

A seamless mobile payment experience that connects drivers and attendants through authentic human interaction. Modern fintech innovation meets daily convenience.
