Virtual account collection confirmed in real time

Cards

Verve, Mastercard and Visa

Agent network

Cash collection through Moniepoint agents

Integration

What PaymentHood handles for you

A direct Moniepoint integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.

Credentials
API credentials exchanged for a bearer token, held server-side in PaymentHood
Webhook security
Signed transaction webhook, validated before an order is released
Payment verification
Server-side transaction status re-check before fulfilment
  • Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
  • Automatic failover to another configured provider when Moniepoint is unreachable
  • One reconciliation view across Moniepoint and every other provider you run
  • Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
  • Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
Setup

Connecting Moniepoint takes three steps

1

Open your Moniepoint account

Register directly with Moniepoint and complete their onboarding. Funds settle from Moniepoint into your own bank account — PaymentHood never holds merchant money.

2

Add the credentials to PaymentHood

Paste your Moniepoint API credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They are stored server-side and never exposed to your storefront.

3

Enable it at checkout

Install the PaymentHood plugin for your platform, paste your PaymentHood API key, and Moniepoint appears as a payment option. Test in sandbox, then switch to live.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Monnify is Moniepoint's payment gateway product — the developer-facing collection API. If you are integrating online payments you are working with Monnify; Moniepoint is the wider banking and agent business around it.

Cash reach. Customers without a bank app can pay in cash at an agent and have the order confirmed, which no purely digital gateway can offer.

Card penetration is lower than transfer usage, and card declines are common. A checkout offering a one-time virtual account number — the customer transfers from any bank app and the payment confirms in seconds — will convert materially better than one offering cards alone. It is the single most important local method to enable.

No. Moniepoint bills you directly for its own fees, and PaymentHood takes no percentage and no per-transaction cut at any volume. See PaymentHood pricing.
