This is a fully functioning plugin not a demo version. It works in both Sandbox (development mode) and in Live (production mode).
Please keep in mind that MoMo Sandbox has several limitations
imposed by MTN, see them here:
- Sandbox is not requesting real money, means no USSD request on your phone. no matter how hard you try š
- In the Sandbox you can only use EUR currency and certain test numbers from Sweden šøšŖ š„¶
- Sandbox is not able to callback your application, to notify about payment status. This one is a sad limitation. š
- Test phones numbers to test for error conditions are limited to
46733123450
, 46733123451
, 46733123452
, 46733123453
- Only this number will be able to “pay” after 30 seconds
46733123454
