Codes and till numbers

Tanzanian merchants take payments by a displayed code or by a till number the customer types into a mobile money app. Both identify the same merchant account.

Paying a code

The request carries the payload as the camera read it, or the till number as typed. Shilling amounts are whole numbers.

Questions and answers
