PPayKato
Product roadmap

What we're building, in order

PayKato is in a controlled Nigeria pilot. This roadmap is honest about what's already live, what's actively in progress, and what we'll only build once partners and volume justify it. Status can change as partner integrations and regulatory approvals advance.

Want a feature pulled forward?

Pilot merchants and partners can request prioritization. Concrete volume, country, or partner commitments help us re-rank the queue.

Roadmap items are informational and not a contractual commitment. Features depend on licensed partner availability, regulatory approval, and merchant category. Final scope and timing are confirmed in your signed merchant agreement.
