If you operate an online store in Ghana, accepting credit cards alone is not enough. Over 75% of local digital transactions occur via Mobile Money (MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, and AT Money).
Integrating seamless Mobile Money checkout into your WordPress & WooCommerce site takes less than 15 minutes.
Step 1: Choose a Payment Gateway Aggregator
Rather than dealing directly with individual telecommunication telcos, use an accredited payment aggregator:
- Paystack (Recommended): Owned by Stripe; robust uptime, clean checkout modal, transparent 1.95% transaction fee, and daily automated bank payouts.
- Hubtel: Pioneer Ghanaian payment processor with direct POS and SMS integration.
- Flutterwave: Pan-African reach supporting international card payments and local MoMo.
Step 2: Install the Paystack WooCommerce Plugin
1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Search for Paystack WooCommerce Payment Gateway.
3. Install and click Activate.
Step 3: Connect API Keys
1. Log into your Paystack Dashboard at dashboard.paystack.com.
2. Navigate to Settings > API Keys & Webhooks.
3. Copy your Live Public Key and Live Secret Key.
4. In WordPress, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Paystack.
5. Enable the gateway, paste your keys, and click Save changes.
Your store can now accept instant MTN MoMo and Telecel Cash payments with automated stock reduction and SMS order receipts!
