Accept card and mobile money payments across Africa via DPO Pay

How it works

DPO Pay connects to Powerlynx via Company Token and Service Type from your DPO merchant account. The currency is selected per location in Powerlynx. Before going live, you must contact your DPO account manager to set up a webhook — the webhook URL is your Powerlynx base URL followed by /dpo-pay/result (for example, https://my.powerlynx.app/dpo-pay/result). Without this step, payment confirmation will not reach Powerlynx.

When a user selects DPO Pay at the captive portal, they are redirected to the DPO payment page where they choose their payment method: credit card or mobile money options including Tigo Pesa, Vodacom M-PESA, Airtel Money, Zantel, and others depending on country.

What this integration provides
