About SimplyPaye Mobile Money Gateway
From the official readme · v0.2.4Description
SimplyPaye Mobile Money Gateway adds Orange Money, Airtel Money, M-Pesa and Visa card payments for online stores in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It works as a payment gateway when the required e-commerce plugin dependency is installed (see Requires Plugins header).
At checkout, the customer can choose Mobile Money (USSD push on their phone) or Visa card (secure redirect).
Trademarks: This plugin is developed by SimplyPaye. “SimplyPaye” is the payment service operated by SimplyPaye.
No analytics or user tracking: The plugin does not include analytics, advertising, or behavioral tracking. It only sends payment-related data to SimplyPaye when a customer chooses this payment method at checkout.
Setup: install the required e-commerce dependency, then go to Settings → Payments → SimplyPaye and enter your merchant code. An optional API key is recommended for new accounts.
External services
This plugin connects to third-party services operated by SimplyPaye. Data is sent only when a store owner configures the gateway and when a customer initiates or checks a payment.
SimplyPaye Payment API
- What it is and why: HTTPS API used to initiate Mobile Money payments and poll payment status after the customer confirms the USSD push on their phone.
- Endpoint: https://api-simply-pay.net (configurable in gateway settings; default shown above).
- When data is sent: On checkout when the customer submits an order with this payment method; when the order thank-you page polls for status; when SimplyPaye calls back to your store (reference and order number only).
- Data sent: merchant code, optional API key (header), order reference, order total, currency (CDF or USD), customer Mobile Money phone number, store order identifier.

- When data is sent: Only if the administrator visits the link and registers on that website (outside this plugin).
