Unanswered questions

I'm building a marketplace-style platform where a payment is collected upfront but shouldn't be paid out immediately — it needs to be held and only released to the recipient once the payer approves a completed stage of work, which could be a few days after collection.Is there any native support in the Collections/Disbursements APIs for a conditional or delayed release like this, or is holding funds purely something I'd need to handle in my own backend — i.e., collect immediately via the Collections API, hold the amount in my own ledger, and only call Disbursements once the stage is approved? Trying to understand where the boundary is between what the API handles and what has to live entirely on my side. Any guidance appreciated.

Hello,I cannot subscribe to the Collections product in the sandbox. The subscriptionrequest fails server-side with HTTP 400.Steps to reproduce:1. Log in to momodeveloper.mtn.com2. Go to Products > Collections3. Enter a subscription name, accept the terms, click SubscribeRequest:POST /developer/users/<my-user-id>/subscriptions/<id>?api-version=2022-04-01-previewResponse: HTTP 400 Bad Request{"error":{"code":"ValidationError","message":"You've reached the maximum numberof Subscriptions (25000) in Product. Please delete one or more Subscription(s)from Product to continue, or consider upgrading your plan to increase thelimit.","details":null}}My account has no subscriptions at all — the page shows "You have nosubscriptions yet". The 25000 limit is the Azure API Management cap on theProduct itself, not on my account, so there is nothing I can delete on my side.Could someone on the MoMo team clean up stale sandbox subscriptions on theCollections product, or raise the APIM tier

Hello MTN MoMo Team,I am developing Amasampo Palletmarket, an online marketplace operating in Zambia where sellers can list products and buyers can find and purchase items.I would like to integrate MTN MoMo so that our website can receive real payments, including seller subscription/listing fees and potentially customer payments.I have already created an MTN MoMo Developer account and I am interested in the Collections API or Collection Widget for Zambia.I would like guidance on the requirements for going live in Zambia. In particular:Can an individual or sole proprietor apply for production access, or must the business first be formally registered?What KYC documents are required in Zambia?Do I need an MTN MoMo merchant/business wallet for Collections?I currently have an MTN MoMo agent line. Can this line be used for API Collections, or will I need a separate merchant/business MoMo account?Which product should I apply for if I want customers to make payments directly from their MTN MoM

Hello,I am integrating the MTN MoMo Remittance Sandbox API from a cloud-hosted server environment.The integration previously worked successfully. We were able to:generate an OAuth access token; validate a Sandbox account holder; submit a Remittance transfer (202 Accepted); retrieve the transfer status as SUCCESSFUL.However, the OAuth endpoint is now being rejected:POST https://sandbox.momodeveloper.mtn.com/remittance/token/Instead of the documented OAuth JSON response, MTN returns:HTTP status: 200 Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 247 message: Request RejectedA Support ID is also returned for the rejected request.The issue appears consistent with a Sandbox WAF/network restriction affecting server-to-server requests from a cloud environment.Could you please confirm:whether the MTN Sandbox WAF may be blocking our server requests; whether an outbound IP or IP range needs to be allowlisted; whether there are specific network/IP requirements for server-to-server access to the Remittan

Hello,My name is Nana, and I’m working on a POS platform for businesses in Ghana.We are currently integrating Mobile Money payments into Tabworthy through a payment provider (Paystack), and we have encountered a customer authentication flow that we'd like to understand directly from MTN.The current flow for an MTN customer making their first MoMo payment through our application is: The customer provides their MTN phone number. We initiate the Mobile Money payment. MTN sends a 6-digit code to the customer's phone. The customer has to provide that 6-digit code to the merchant/cashier. The code is entered into the payment flow. The customer then receives the normal MTN MoMo prompt and enters their MoMo PIN. The payment is completed. Interestingly, after the customer completes this process once, subsequent payments do not appear to require the 6-digit code again.Our payment provider has confirmed that this 6-digit code is generated and controlled by MTN and that they cannot byp

Hello,I’m writing this topic because we have successfully completed the integration and sandbox testing of the MTN MoMo Collections API into Equinox, our SaaS invoicing and payment platform : equinox.passerel.caSeveral customers are waiting for us to enable MTN Mobile Money payments in production.Cabinet Passerel, the company operating Equinox, is incorporated in Canada. During the Go-Live process for Benin, we noticed that the onboarding documents request local information such as an IFU, physical address and other Benin-specific company documentation.Can a Canadian company obtain production access to the MTN MoMo Collections API for Benin, or is a locally registered entity/establishment required ?Our technical integration is already complete and working successfully in the sandbox.Best regards,

Hi, I'm integrating the MoMo Collections API (sandbox) into a server-side application. Requests to /collection/v1_0/requesttopay are being rejected with a WAF block page ("Request Rejected... The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator") when sent from my cloud-hosted server (Render.com), even though the exact same request succeeds when sent from my local machine using identical code and credentials. Could someone confirm whether cloud/datacenter IP ranges are blocked in sandbox, and if so, help whitelist these outbound IP ranges for my app? 74.220.51.0/24 74.220.59.0/24 Account details: API User ID: b3342b64-ffd2-4746-a771-b884953cc72e Thank you!
