DRC Collection simplifies the process of receiving funds in the DRC, giving you reliable tools to collect money from customers across supported mobile money networks. Whether you’re triggering a payment prompt or checking the outcome of a collection, DRC Collection keeps your inflow operations running smoothly. If you want a hosted payment experience instead of a direct collection API, use Checkout. Our Checkout solution supports DRC payment methods including Mobile Money in both USD and CDF collections, as well as Apple Pay and International Card for USD collections.

How it works

1

Initiate a mobile money inflow

Call the InitiateMobileMoneyInflow endpoint with the customer’s phone number, the amount, and a callback URL. This sends a payment prompt to the customer on their mobile money network.
2

Customer completes payment

The customer approves the payment on their end via their mobile money provider (e.g., M-Pesa, Airtel Money).
3

Receive webhook notification

Nomba sends a webhook event to your callback URL when the transaction status changes. Set up your webhook handler to process the result.
4

Verify the transaction

Use the FetchMobileMoneyTransaction endpoint with the returned transaction reference to confirm the final status of the collection.

​
Reading the outcome

A collection is initiated as PENDING and settles asynchronously, because the customer still has to approve the charge on their phone. Two fields tell you where it stands. gatewayMessage is the response from the customer’s mobile money network. gatewayCode says what it means: See Fetch Transaction for the full field reference.
