This plugin allows you to collect payments on your WooCommerce eShop using MTN MoMo in 13 countries
You must have WooCommerce because we developed this plugin as a WooCommerce payment gateway
This is a fully functioning plugin not a demo version. It works in both Sandbox (development mode) and in Live (production mode).
Please keep in mind that MoMo Sandbox has several
limitations
imposed by MTN, see them here:
Sandbox is not requesting real money, means no USSD request on your phone. no matter how hard you try
In the Sandbox you can only use EUR currency and certain test numbers from Sweden
Sandbox is not able to callback your application, to notify about payment status. This one is a sad limitation.
Test phones numbers to test for error conditions are limited to
46733123450
,
46733123451
,
46733123452
,
46733123453
Only this number will be able to “pay” after 30 seconds
46733123454

All other numbers will act like the payment was successful immediately!
