A Paystack Starter Business is for merchants who haven't registered their business with regulators in their country. We allow these merchants to test their ideas with real customers, while they prepare to scale and register their companies.
Collection Limits
Starter Businesses have a lifetime collections limit. At this limit, payment will be disabled for your business. To remove the limit, simply upgrade to a Registered Business.
