Orange Money Web Payment / M Payment in Africa
E-commerce in Africa boosted by Mobile Money
E-commerce is growing significantly in Africa, thanks to local actors (Jumia, Abidjandeal.com…) and major international retailers.
However, this growth has been slowed down by the lack of available payment methods. Cash continues to be the preferred payment method, card penetration is still very low and Paypal doesn't offer cash out.
Web Payment / M Payment now available to Orange Money merchants only
Orange Money enables major market players to accept online payments.
It was designed for Web merchants, but other types of services can also now benefit from the Web Payment / M Payment service (tax collection, donations, school fees,…).
As this is an extension of the Orange Money service, the same limitations apply as with any financial service. It must be approved by the relevant central bank, and is subject to strict regulations on security and fraud prevention.
Orange Money is part of a restricted ecosystem with limited API exposure to ensure compliance with these necessary rules.
*Please contact your local Orange operator to know more about the registration process and compliance rules.
