Payment operations for Cameroon

Take mobile money payments, and know exactly where the money is.

LonghoPay is a payment platform for businesses in Cameroon. Your customers pay with MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money, at your counter, through a link or QR code, or inside your own website or app. LonghoPay records every payment, matches it to what was owed, and pays the money out to your own number.

Free to open an account. Payouts begin once your business is verified.

An example of the payments list: two collections have settled, and the third is still being confirmed, which is why it is not yet part of the total.

The two networks your customers already pay with

  • MTN Mobile Money
  • Orange Money

What LonghoPay does

  • Collect on MTN and Orange

    Take a payment at the counter, send a payment link or QR code, or let your website or app start it. Your customer approves on their own phone, and the payment lands with the reference it belongs to.

  • Match every payment to its request

    Send a payment request or share a payment page, and see what is paid, partly paid or overdue. A payment that arrives without a reference waits in one worklist, not in a statement.

  • Follow the money to your payout

    What you collected reaches your own mobile money number, with the fees recorded at the time and a trail from each payout back to the payments that make it up.

Who it is for

The same account fits a counter, a school office, a front desk or a checkout page. These are the ways businesses in Cameroon use it.

  • Shops and counters

    Take payment at the till from a phone or a computer, hand over or send the receipt, and close the day knowing what came in on each network.

  • Schools

    Give each pupil’s account a permanent payment page, follow fees paid in instalments, and see at once who still owes what.

  • Guest houses and hotels

    Confirm a booking once the deposit arrives, send a link for the balance, and keep every stay’s payments together.

  • Bus, event and ticket sales

    Sell a seat or a ticket online, hold it until the payment is confirmed, and release it if the payer never approves.

  • Services and invoices

    Send a payment request for an invoice, accept part payments, and let a colleague answer “has it been paid?” without calling you.

  • Online shops and software

    Add mobile money to your own website or app through a hosted checkout, signed webhooks and a sandbox to rehearse in.

How a payment looks

Three screens, all real: what your customer sees, what their network asks, and what you see the moment it lands. The names and amounts are an example.

    Your customer opens your link or scans your QR

    They see your business, what they are paying for and the amount. They type their MTN or Orange number and their name. Nothing else.

    They approve on their own phone

    The network asks them to confirm with their PIN. Until they do, LonghoPay says the payment is waiting, not done.

    You see it land, with its receipt

    The payment appears in your list with its reference and receipt, matched to what it paid for, and counts towards your next payout.

Built for money you have to account for

  • History that cannot be quietly edited

    Corrections and reversals stay visible next to what they corrected, so the record of a disputed payment is the same record everyone sees.

  • Each person sees their own work

    A cashier takes payments. Finance handles payouts and refunds. Sensitive actions ask for your password again and are written to an audit trail.

Build it into what you already run

If you sell online or run your own software, LonghoPay has a documented interface for taking payments, checking where one has got to and being told when it settles.

  • One request from your server creates a hosted checkout page; your customer pays on their phone.
  • Signed webhooks tell your server when a payment succeeds or fails, and can be replayed.
  • A sandbox scripts success, decline and no-answer from the payer number, before a single franc moves.
