Description
This is the official WooCommerce plugin of the E-Billing payment gateway.
This E-Billing plugin for WooCommerce allows you to accept payments from mobile wallets of operators and banks on your WooCommerce store.
E-Billing is a payment gateway that aggregates mobile wallets of operators and banks in Gabon and Africa.
E-Billing currently integrates the following mobile wallets:
– Airtel Money (Gabon)
– MobiCach (Gabon)
Only WooCommerce stores in Gabon can therefore use this plugin at the moment.
E-Billing does not manage any financial flows, all payments are validated by the mobile wallet. Customer is redirected to E-Billing portal which displays instructions for paying per wallet provider. Once the payment is validated by the operator or the bank, E-Billing is automatically notified and in return notifies the merchant of the validation of the payment. This plugin automates all this notification process.
This plugin comes with 3 deployment modes: LAB, STAGING, and PROD. By default, LAB Mode is active. It is highly recommended to test your integration in E-Billing LAB environment before you move to STAGING or PROD.
