Can I try Modem Pay before my business is verified?
Yes. Every account starts in test mode with its own API keys. You can build and test payments, payouts and webhooks for free, with no real money. Go live once your business verification (KYC) is approved.
Which payment methods can my customers use?
Wave, Afrimoney, QMoney, APS, Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, and the USDT and USDC stablecoins. Your customers choose at checkout.
Do I need a website?
No. Create a payment link in the dashboard and share it on WhatsApp, Instagram or by SMS. If you have a website, you can add a pay button or hosted checkout.
How much does it cost?
1.25% per successful mobile money or bank payment, 7.5% for cards and 1% for stablecoins. There are no setup or monthly fees, and test mode is free.
How fast do I get my money?
Mobile money payments settle in about 30 minutes, bank transfers the next business day, and card payments in 2 to 3 business days.
Where can I find the API documentation?
Everything is at docs.modempay.com, including a quickstart that takes you to your first test payment in a few minutes.
