Fosia Pay Lite is a free WooCommerce payment gateway for Mobile Money in Africa, powered by the PawaPay<\/a> API. You need your own PawaPay merchant account<\/strong>: a Sandbox account to test is free and opens in minutes; PawaPay opens the Live account after checking your business (see the FAQ). Accept MTN MoMo<\/strong> (MTN Mobile Money), Airtel Money<\/strong>, Orange Money<\/strong>, M-Pesa<\/strong>, Moov Money, Wave and the other Mobile Money networks served by PawaPay: 43 networks in 21 African countries, from Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Ghana to Cameroon, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Senegal and DR Congo.<\/p>\n\n The customer sees the amount in their own Mobile Money currency before paying, is sent to PawaPay's secure payment page, picks their operator, approves the payment on their phone with their Mobile Money PIN, and comes back to your store. The order is marked paid only once PawaPay confirms the payment, and a customer who comes back without paying sees \"Payment not received yet\" with a \"Pay now\" button, never \"Thank you\".<\/p>\n\n No commission on your sales, ever.<\/strong> The only fees are PawaPay's own processing fees, agreed directly between you and PawaPay. No limit on the number of payments<\/strong>, no licence key, no time limit.<\/p>\n\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zkjFS6S72Vc<\/p>\n\n En fran\u00e7ais : Fosia Pay : le Mobile Money sur WooCommerce<\/a><\/p>\n\n Fosia Pay Lite works with the countries and operators enabled on your PawaPay account:<\/p>\n\n Your store can keep its prices in US dollars, euros or any currency: the amount is converted to the customer's Mobile Money currency (RWF, UGX, KES, TZS, GHS, XOF, XAF, CDF, ZMW, NGN and more) at checkout.<\/p>\n\n Fosia Pay Pro is a separate, paid plugin by the same team. It adds on-site checkout without redirect, refunds from WooCommerce, payouts, payment links with QR codes, a REST API, and a callback router for several sites on one PawaPay account. Fosia Pay Lite works fully on its own. Learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The plugin cannot take payments without PawaPay. Requests go to PawaPay Merchant Terms of Service<\/a> and Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Used only when your store currency differs from the customer's Mobile Money currency (for example, a EUR store and a customer in Rwanda paying in RWF). When no rates are cached, the plugin requests ExchangeRate-API Terms of Use and privacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Off by default: nothing is sent to Fosia unless an administrator ticks the consent box and clicks \"Connect this site\" in FosiaPay > Dashboard > \"Connect this site to Fosia (optional)\".<\/p>\n\n Fosia Terms of Service<\/a> and Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n When you click \"Deactivate\" on Fosia Pay Lite in Plugins, a \"Quick feedback\" window asks why. It is optional: nothing is sent if you click \"Skip & Deactivate\", the \u00d7 or Escape (closing it keeps the plugin active).<\/p>\n\n Fosia Terms of Service<\/a> and Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The Welcome step of the guided setup shows a picture of the Fosia Pay video, stored in the plugin. Nothing is requested from YouTube until you click it; the video then plays from YouTube Terms of Service<\/a> and Google Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n No other external request is made. The dashboard, its insights and the guided setup load nothing from outside your site (apart from the video above, on click); links to pay.fosiarw.com, PawaPay and WhatsApp only open when you click them.<\/p>\n\n\n Everything can also be changed in WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Fosia Pay Lite.<\/p>\n\n\n Install and activate Fosia Pay Lite, then follow the guided setup: choose Sandbox or Live, paste your PawaPay API token and copy the callback URL into your PawaPay Dashboard. Place a test order in sandbox mode, then switch to Live. Customers choose MTN MoMo (MTN Mobile Money) on the payment page and approve the payment on their phone. MTN MoMo is available in Benin, Cameroon, Congo, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia, if it is enabled on your PawaPay account.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. M-Pesa is supported in Kenya, Tanzania (Vodacom M-Pesa), DR Congo, Mozambique, Lesotho and Ethiopia, if it is enabled on your PawaPay account.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, in Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, DR Congo, Congo, Gabon and Nigeria, if it is enabled on your PawaPay account.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, in Cameroon, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Senegal, Burkina Faso, DR Congo and Sierra Leone, if it is enabled on your PawaPay account. Wave, Moov Money and Free Money are supported in West Africa too.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. It is free, with no limit on the number of payments, no licence key and no time limit. Fosia takes no commission on your sales.<\/p><\/dd>\n No, never. The only fees are PawaPay's own processing fees.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Fosia Pay Lite has no payment limit and no time limit.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Fosia Pay Lite connects to the PawaPay API to process payments, and the money goes to your own PawaPay merchant account, never through Fosia.<\/p>\n\nFeatures<\/h4>\n\n
