Working with Payment References: A Guide to the MoMo Invoice API
Working with Payment References: A Guide to the MoMo Invoice APIBlog

📘 Introduction to the Invoice API The Invoice API allows businesses to generate a payment reference (invoice) that can be paid by the customer (Payer) within a specified validity period. This invoice is currently payable through MoMo Pay via USSD, enabling structured and trackable payments for various use cases. 💼 Real-World Use Cases Businesses already using MoMo Pay codes can integrate this API to benefit from automated reconciliation, as payments are directly linked to internal systems such as order or invoice records. Point of Sale (POS) systems in restaurants, supermarkets, retail stores, etc. School management systems for collecting school fees. Public transport operators for digital fare collection.  💡 Why Use the Invoice API? Improved reconciliation: Payments are automatically tied to internal orders or invoices, reducing manual tracking. Simplified payment experience: The invoice reference can be embedded in a QR code, allowing the Payer to simply scan and pay. Fl

Explaining API to Children using #kitchenAnalogy
Explaining API to Children using #kitchenAnalogy

Explaining API to Children using #kitchenAnalogy  Imagine our kitchen is like a complex computer system. Mum, who's cooking, represents the system's inner workings. You, wanting food, is the user trying to access the system. The problem is, if you go into the kitchen to get food yourself, you might get hurt because of the hot surfaces and sharp objects. This is like trying to access the complex system directly, which can be difficult and risky. That's where I, Dad, come in. I'm the Application Programming Interface (API). My job is to safely get the food from the kitchen (the complex system) and bring it to you in a way that's easy and safe to use. An API saves time, minimizes risk, scalable and accessible anywhere, from authentication to product/service utilizationSign-up and Get Started with MoMoAPIs Home - MoMo Developer Portal – SandBox  to access growth enebaling products for your bussiness and your customers Pay, Get-Paid, Invoice, Vouchers, Subscriptions, Cash-Transfer (Remittan

General questions about MTN MoMo

Hey everyone! I’m working on an application what will have an integration with MTN MoMo API, and I’m trying to wrap head around how Mobile Money works. I’m not from Africa and I can’t find some ready good source about the topic, so I hope my questions will be answered here.Can users of MoMo operate their account and transfers both via mobile app and USSD. If it is possible to work with MoMo only via USSD, is there a documentation about it? Is it possible to transfer money to the person who is not a customer of MTN MoMo (perhaps just using MTN as their operator), or all transactions happens between MTN MoMo clients only?
