Ghana Mobile Money for Odoo
MTN MoMo and AirtelTigo Money collections and payouts — bring-your-own-key
Accept and send money over Ghana's two biggest mobile-money rails — MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) and AirtelTigo Money — without leaving Odoo. The connector builds the exact request-to-pay and transfer payloads each operator's API expects, automatically routes a transaction to the right rail from the customer's phone number, and polls the operator until the payment reaches a final state.
This is a bring-your-own-key (BYOK) connector: you paste the API credentials from your own MTN MoMo developer subscription and your own AirtelTigo / Airtel developer account. No transaction data is sent anywhere except to the operator endpoint you configure, and your keys never leave your database.
What it does
Collections (request-to-pay)
Pull money from a customer's wallet into your merchant account. The customer approves the debit on their handset; the connector tracks the request to a successful, failed, rejected or timed-out outcome and stores the operator's financial transaction id.
Payouts (transfer / disbursement)
Push money from your merchant account to any MTN or AirtelTigo wallet for refunds, supplier payments, commissions or payroll top-ups. The AirtelTigo PIN is RSA-encrypted with the operator public key before transmission, as the API requires.
Key features
Automatic operator routing
Every Ghana number is normalised to international MSISDN format and matched against the published MTN (024/025/053/054/055/059), AirtelTigo (026/027/056/057) and Telecel (020/050) prefix ranges. The transaction is routed to the rail that serves the number; numbers no rail can reach are rejected with a clear message instead of being sent down the wrong rail.
Real status polling
Mobile-money payments are asynchronous. A built-in (opt-in) scheduled action polls every pending transaction and resolves it to a single canonical state — pending, successful or failed — translated from each operator's own status vocabulary.
Collect straight from an invoice
A Collect via MoMo button on posted customer invoices opens a wizard pre-filled with the customer's phone and the amount due, then fires the request-to-pay and links the transaction back to the invoice.
Full transport log
Every API call is logged with operation, HTTP method, status code, latency and a response excerpt, so failed payments are easy to diagnose. Sensitive credentials and PINs are never written to the log.
Supported operations
| Rail | Collection | Payout | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) | requesttopay | transfer | poll by reference id (UUID) |
| AirtelTigo Money | merchant payments | disbursements | poll by transaction id |
Endpoints default to the operators' documented sandbox and production hosts and are fully editable, so you can point at a reverse proxy or a future host without code changes. The Ghana Cedi (GHS) is the production transaction currency; the MTN sandbox is provisioned in EUR.
How it works
- Open Mobile Money → Connection and paste your MTN MoMo API user/key/subscription keys and your AirtelTigo client id / secret / PIN. Toggle Sandbox while testing.
- Use Transactions or the invoice button to create a collection, or New Payout to send money out.
- The connector detects the operator, submits to the right rail and the transaction becomes Pending.
- Check the status manually or let the scheduled action resolve it to Successful or Failed.
Requirements
- Odoo 18.0 or 19.0 (Community or Enterprise).
- An MTN MoMo developer subscription (Collection and/or Disbursement product).
- An AirtelTigo / Airtel developer account with client id and secret.
- Python packages
requestsandcryptography(standard in Odoo installs).
Disclosure: this module transmits transaction data only to the MTN and AirtelTigo endpoints you configure. Your credentials are bring-your-own-key and never bundled or shared. This connector is not affiliated with, or certified by, MTN or AirtelTigo; it integrates with their published APIs using your own merchant credentials.
