Today we’re glad to announce the release of another payment gateway in MicrojobEngine – MjE Paystack Extension. After 1 month since MjE 1st Birthday, we’re back with a new extension and prepare for more upcoming features.
As you know, we have a complete MicrojobEngine Roadmap for the whole year 2017 and are growing MjE User Community where we interact with MjE customers in the best way we could. Initially, MjE Paystack was not our top priority. However, we’re quite flexible with our product plan and always try to listen to our customers via MjE Roadmap and User Community. After learning that many customers are looking for Paystack payment gateway in their MicrojobEngine, we decided to adjust the plan to adapt to it. That’s why MjE Paystack is here today.
