# Overview

> Learn how to collect funds from customers across supported mobile money networks with the Nomba DRC Collection API

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](/docs/products/accept-payment/checkout-overview). 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

<Steps titleSize="p">
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customer completes payment">
    The customer approves the payment on their end via their mobile money provider (e.g., M-Pesa, Airtel Money).
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the transaction">
    Use the FetchMobileMoneyTransaction endpoint with the returned transaction reference to confirm the final status of the collection.
  </Step>
