## Description

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.

### External services

This plugin connects to third-party services operated by SimplyPaye. Data is sent
only when a store owner configures the gateway and when a customer initiates or 
checks a payment.

#### SimplyPaye Payment API

 * **What it is and why:** HTTPS API used to initiate Mobile Money payments and 
   poll payment status after the customer confirms the USSD push on their phone.
 * **Endpoint:** https://api-simply-pay.net (configurable in gateway settings; default
   shown above).
 * **When data is sent:** On checkout when the customer submits an order with this
   payment method; when the order thank-you page polls for status; when SimplyPaye
   calls back to your store (reference and order number only).
 * **Data sent:** merchant code, optional API key (header), order reference, order
   total, currency (CDF or USD), customer Mobile Money phone number, store order
   identifier.
 * **Terms of service:** https://www.simply-paye.com/#terms
 * **Privacy policy:** https://www.simply-paye.com/#privacy

#### SimplyPaye merchant portal (onboarding)

 * **What it is and why:** Web portal where merchants create a SimplyPaye account
   and obtain their merchant code.
 * **URL:** https://www.marchand-simplypaye.store (linked from the gateway settings
   screen; opened in the browser by the store administrator only).
 * **When data is sent:** Only if the administrator visits the link and registers
   on that website (outside this plugin).
 * **Terms of service:** https://www.simply-paye.com/#terms
 * **Privacy policy:** https://www.simply-paye.com/#privacy

#### SimplyPaye website

 * **What it is and why:** Product information and legal documents for the SimplyPaye
   service.
 * **URL:** https://www.simply-paye.com
 * **Terms of service:** https://www.simply-paye.com/#terms
 * **Privacy policy:** https://www.simply-paye.com/#privacy
