About this plugin
SimplyPaye Mobile Money Gateway adds Orange Money, Airtel Money, M-Pesa and Visa card payments for online stores in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It works as a payment gateway when the required e-commerce plugin dependency is installed (see Requires Plugins header).
At checkout, the customer can choose Mobile Money (USSD push on their phone) or Visa card (secure redirect).
Trademarks: This plugin is developed by SimplyPaye. “SimplyPaye” is the payment service operated by SimplyPaye.
No analytics or user tracking: The plugin does not include analytics, advertising, or behavioral tracking. It only sends payment-related data to SimplyPaye when a customer chooses this payment method at checkout.
Setup: install the required e-commerce dependency, then go to Settings → Payments → SimplyPaye and enter your merchant code. An optional API key is recommended for new accounts.
