In Cameroon, Mobile Money is often customers’ preferred payment method. Adding it to your website significantly increases conversion.
Use an approved gateway
Payment aggregators let you accept MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money and bank cards with a single integration. They provide a secure payment page and confirmation notifications.
The golden rule: verify server-side
A payment must never be considered successful based only on a browser redirect. The website must query the gateway to confirm the status and amount before validating the order.
Log every transaction
Every attempt, notification and verification must be logged with its reference. This is essential for accounting reconciliation and handling disputes.
Offer alternatives
Bank transfer, cash on delivery or Mobile Money with manual confirmation: offering several options reassures customers and avoids lost sales.
