without building the integration

Tpay (TPAY MOBILE) is a mobile-payments acquirer for the Middle East, Africa and Türkiye, reaching consumers through direct carrier billing, mobile wallets and mobile money across the region. It bills the purchase to the customer's phone account, so it reaches people with no card and no bank account at all.

Fees

Integration

What PaymentHood handles for you

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

Credentials
Merchant credentials issued per market, held server-side in PaymentHood
Webhook security
Signed billing notification, 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 Tpay is unreachable
  • One reconciliation view across Tpay 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 Tpay takes three steps

1

Open your Tpay account

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

2

Add the credentials to PaymentHood

Paste your Tpay 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 Tpay appears as a payment option. Test in sandbox, then switch to live.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The purchase is charged to the customer's mobile phone bill or prepaid balance instead of a card. No bank account, no card and no app are needed — which is why it reaches audiences no card gateway can.

Low-value digital purchases: games, subscriptions, video, education. Carrier billing fees are far higher than card fees and per-transaction limits are low, so it does not suit physical goods or large baskets.

Markets across the Middle East, Africa and Türkiye, connected to a large number of mobile payment channels. Coverage is defined per operator, so confirm your specific market and network.

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