Payment operations for Cameroon
Take mobile money payments, and know exactly where the money is.
LonghoPay is a payment platform for businesses in Cameroon. Your customers pay with MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money, at your counter, through a link or QR code, or inside your own website or app. LonghoPay records every payment, matches it to what was owed, and pays the money out to your own number.
Free to open an account. Payouts begin once your business is verified.

What LonghoPay does
Collect on MTN and Orange
Take a payment at the counter, send a payment link or QR code, or let your website or app start it. Your customer approves on their own phone, and the payment lands with the reference it belongs to.
Match every payment to its request
Send a payment request or share a payment page, and see what is paid, partly paid or overdue. A payment that arrives without a reference waits in one worklist, not in a statement.
Follow the money to your payout
What you collected reaches your own mobile money number, with the fees recorded at the time and a trail from each payout back to the payments that make it up.
Who it is for
The same account fits a counter, a school office, a front desk or a checkout page. These are the ways businesses in Cameroon use it.
Shops and counters
Take payment at the till from a phone or a computer, hand over or send the receipt, and close the day knowing what came in on each network.
Schools
Give each pupil’s account a permanent payment page, follow fees paid in instalments, and see at once who still owes what.
Guest houses and hotels
Confirm a booking once the deposit arrives, send a link for the balance, and keep every stay’s payments together.
Bus, event and ticket sales
Sell a seat or a ticket online, hold it until the payment is confirmed, and release it if the payer never approves.
Services and invoices
Send a payment request for an invoice, accept part payments, and let a colleague answer “has it been paid?” without calling you.
Online shops and software
Add mobile money to your own website or app through a hosted checkout, signed webhooks and a sandbox to rehearse in.

How a payment looks
Three screens, all real: what your customer sees, what their network asks, and what you see the moment it lands. The names and amounts are an example.

Built for money you have to account for
History that cannot be quietly edited
Corrections and reversals stay visible next to what they corrected, so the record of a disputed payment is the same record everyone sees.
Each person sees their own work
A cashier takes payments. Finance handles payouts and refunds. Sensitive actions ask for your password again and are written to an audit trail.
Build it into what you already run
If you sell online or run your own software, LonghoPay has a documented interface for taking payments, checking where one has got to and being told when it settles.
- One request from your server creates a hosted checkout page; your customer pays on their phone.
- Signed webhooks tell your server when a payment succeeds or fails, and can be replayed.
- A sandbox scripts success, decline and no-answer from the payer number, before a single franc moves.
