Lýsing

MTN MoMo is a mobile payment system which is available in Uganda, Ghana, Cameroon, Zambia, Swaziland, Rwanda, Ivory Coast, Benin, Guinea-Conakry, Congo Brazza and Nigeria

💥 November 2022 💥 also available in Nigeria 🇳🇬

You must have WooCommerce because we developed this plugin as a WooCommerce payment gateway 🚀

This is a fully functioning plugin not a demo version. It works in both Sandbox (development mode) and in Live (production mode).

Please keep in mind that MoMo Sandbox has several limitations imposed by MTN, see them here:

  • Sandbox is not requesting real money, means no USSD request on your phone. no matter how hard you try 😂
  • In the Sandbox you can only use EUR currency and certain test numbers from Sweden 🇸🇪 🥶
  • Sandbox is not able to callback your application, to notify about payment status. This one is a sad limitation. 😞
  • Test phones numbers to test for error conditions are limited to 46733123450, 46733123451, 46733123452, 46733123453
  • Only this number will be able to „pay“ after 30 seconds 46733123454 😎
  • All other numbers will act like the payment was successful immediately!

Yes, it is here demo.momo.clickon.ch, no real payments can be done, eShop currency EUR

Do you have a Live demo?

No yet. We are working on it. However, you can check https://kivea.net for inspiration 😎

Which phone number the MoMo request is sent?

We are sending the MoMo Pay request to the phone number provided on the checkout form. The format is 256XXXXXXXXX, where 256 is country code.

How can we do real payments?

To accept real aka Live payments you must be approved by MTN, the process is called „Go Live“ you can read about it here https://momodeveloper.mtn.com/go-live
Remember it will require you do submit the KYC documents, your passport copy etc. it is quite some paper work, so please seek legal advice!

What is the phone number format to use during the checkout?

We are sending MoMo requests to the phone number provided during the checkout, so it must follow a certain format, for example:

  • 237698936XXX – Cameroon
  • 233204701XXX – Ghana
  • 256700908XXX – Uganda
  • 268782XXXXX – Eswatini
  • 24206422XXXX – Congo B

No „+“ in front and always with the country code!

For Rwanda is it possible to use momodeveloper.mtn.com to get Sandbox primary key?

In case you are in Rwanda you should use a dedicated portal at https://momodeveloper.mtn.co.rw, however if you
set your WooCommerce Country / State to anything but Rwanda you can use Sandbox Primary key from https://momodeveloper.mtn.com

Recently there were many reports that https://momodeveloper.mtn.co.rw Portal is not very stable, so we do advice to use https://momodeveloper.mtn.com instead.

I am someone who is interested in having the abilities of running an ecommerce website where clients will be able to pay using MoMo. I am not a programmer and that’s why I approached the developer for help. I am moved by the time he took answering all my questions and guiding me with steps to take. I received all the support I needed and in a very short time. He is always available. I also like the fact that this plugin is consistently updated. Thank you.
