What is different from a regular order
The order is created through the standard POST /v1/orders endpoint. The base fields (amount, currency, successUrl, failUrl, callbackUrl, etc.) are the same as for a regular order; on top of them you pass the customer object with payer details.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
customer | object | Payer details. The required set is listed below |
The externalUserId field is required for this payment method.
Operators: MTN, Moov, Orange Money, Wave.
Send the payer to paymentLink: the payment request goes to the operator when the link is opened, and the payer confirms it on their phone (push notification or USSD prompt). The page waits for the result and shows it; the final status also comes to your callbackUrl.
Customer fields
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
phone | string | ✅ Yes | Payer phone number, digits only with the country code: 2250701234567 |
firstName | string | ⚠️ Depends on the operator | First name |
lastName | string | ⚠️ Depends on the operator | Last name |
email | string | ⚠️ Depends on the operator | Payer email |
country | string | ❌ No | Country code CI. Optional: the country is defined by the method |
The required set depends on the operator enabled on your terminal. If a field it needs is missing or the phone does not match the country format, the order is rejected with 400 listing the fields. Send firstName, lastName, email and phone whenever you have them.
