DSTV from the wallet you already use
Renew without leaving the app
Enter the smartcard or IUC number on the account, choose the package you are renewing, and pay from your wallet balance. PopnChat also supports GOTV, Startimes and Showmax on the same screen, so a household with more than one service does not need more than one app.
Check the details before you pay
The confirmation screen shows the package and the amount leaving your wallet before you enter your transaction PIN. Every renewal is written to your transaction history, so you have a record of what was paid and when — useful when a renewal is disputed.
One balance behind it
The subscription is paid from your PopnChat wallet, the same balance that covers airtime, data and electricity. Fund it once and it covers the household's bills.
Frequently asked
Which TV services can I pay for?
DSTV, GOTV, Startimes and Showmax subscriptions are all supported.
What do I need to pay my DSTV subscription?
Your smartcard or IUC number, and enough balance in your PopnChat wallet to cover the package you are renewing.
Where can I see what I paid?
Every renewal is recorded in your PopnChat transaction history with its amount, date and status.
Can I pay for someone else's decoder?
Yes. The smartcard number determines which account is credited, so you can renew a decoder that is not in your own home.
