*Unlocking Africa’s SME Digital Potential: The Case for a Strategic Alliance between Pesapal, Wix, and Zoho* After extensive research and market observation, it is increasingly evident that *Wix and Zoho* possess immense untapped potential across the African continent—starting with East Africa, particularly *Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda.* These platforms offer exactly what African SMEs need: accessible, scalable, and affordable digital solutions for business management and online presence. However, the *biggest barrier to adoption remains payment gateway integration.* Most global platforms are not optimized for the *local financial ecosystem,* especially in regard to mobile money and regional compliance. This is where *Pesapal* stands out. Unlike *DPO,* which has proven to be rigid in its protocols and often unresponsive to the nuanced needs of SMEs, Pesapal demonstrates a clear advantage: It is *SME-friendly* with simplified onboarding processes. It supports *local payment methods,* including *MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money,* and *regional cards.* It has *a track record of responsiveness and client support,* which is critical in markets where customer service builds brand trust. A strategic alliance between *Pesapal, Wix, and Zoho*—spanning all their products—could unlock exponential growth across African markets. By integrating Pesapal’s payment infrastructure natively into Wix’s and Zoho’s platforms, the trio could become the *cornerstone of digital transformation for African SMEs.* Africa is at the edge of a digital revolution, and the right integrations will define who leads it. If these three players align, *Africa is theirs to win.*
