So I am utilising PayFast as my payment gateway for an Angular Project, I got everything to work up till the ITN callback, I am using my express Api to catch the callback and send to the DB but there is nothing being caught and PayFast is stating an invalid header error message.

So for anyone utilising Payfast I finally found a solution:

router.post('/payfast', function(req,res,err) {
  res.sendStatus(200);

  var payment = {
    payment_id: req.body.pf_payment_id,
    status: req.body.payment_status,
    orderName: req.body.item_name,
    gross: req.body.amount_gross,
    fee: req.body.amount_fee,
    net: req.body.amount_net,
    name: req.body.name_first,
    last_name: req.body.name_last,
    signature: req.body.signature
  };
...
});

Payfast won't send data until you send a 200 OK status first, only then will they send the appropriate details.
