Over the years, mobile money has emerged as a crucial payment method across Africa. Concurrently, e-commerce platforms, experiencing swift growth in the region, are incorporating mobile payment solutions to streamline transactions on their sites.

TillPaid, a fintech solution developed by a Beninese startup, allows owners of e-commerce platforms running on Woocommerce and WordPress to integrate mobile money payments on their sites. The startup, based in Cotonou, was launched in 2022 by Bilal Enangnon.

“The development of e-commerce in Africa cannot be achieved without mobile money payment. This vision is at the core of TillPaid, a young start-up that aims to provide e-merchants with simple and easy-to-configure payment modules for their online stores. [...] The service aims to support small and medium-sized businesses by providing them with mobile money payment methods on their e-commerce websites,” Enangnon said in 2023. 

The fintech has several programming interfaces that enable e-commerce platforms to accept mobile money payments from various telecom operators. While it does not charge commissions on sales from the online stores where its solutions are installed, it should be noted that these solutions are not free. They are offered in packs of two or three solutions.

TillPaid integrates various solutions, including Orange Money via its OrangePaid solution, and Celtiis with its CashPaid solution, among others. The solution supports several telecom networks operating in most French-speaking African countries including Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Congo, and Togo.
