Accept MyCash mobile money payments at your captive portal

How it works

MyCash connects to Powerlynx via the API key, Username, Password and Product ID issued by Digicel for the MyCash e-Commerce API, plus the merchant mobile number that receives the money. Navigate to Config / Finance / Payment gateways / MyCash in Powerlynx and enter the details. Digicel accepts requests only from approved IP addresses, so the Powerlynx IP addresses listed in the guide must be allowed on the Digicel side.

At checkout the customer chooses MyCash and confirms their MyCash mobile number, which is pre-filled when Powerlynx already has it and can be changed to another wallet. MyCash sends a one-time code by SMS, the customer enters it, and MyCash approves the payment. Access starts straight away.

If the code is wrong or the wallet has too little credit, the customer sees MyCash’s own message. They can request a new code, up to 3 times per payment and at most once a minute, or change the number.
