Make payments

Info
Info

With the Chipdeals sending API, you can make payments to your customers' mobile money accounts.

Test & production environment

We can't stress this enough: please test our APIs against our sandbox environment before pushing them into production. We prefer to avoid service interruptions in production caused by untested code.

The base URL is the same whether in production or in test. Only your API key distinguishes the two environments.
