Four steps from order to settled
No settlement accounts, no waiting for payouts. The money is yours the second your customer sends it.
Create a payment
Your site calls the API (or the WooCommerce plugin does it) and gets a hosted checkout link.
Customer pays you
They pick Telebirr, CBE or any account you added, scan your QR, and send the exact tagged amount.
You confirm
The payment shows up in your dashboard. Spot the tagged amount in your statement and confirm in one click.
Your app knows
The customer is redirected back, and a signed webhook tells your system the order is paid.
Everything a small business needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Your accounts, your money
Payments land directly in your Telebirr, CBE, M-Pesa or bank account. MeskelPay never holds a single Birr.
Scan-to-pay QR checkout
Upload your payment QR and customers scan to pay directly from their Telebirr or bank app.
Unique amount tagging
Every payment carries a unique amount and memo, so you can match it in your statement in seconds.
Multiple businesses
Run your shop, your side hustle and your agency from one account — each with its own accounts, keys and webhooks.
Signed webhooks
HMAC-signed charge.success events with retries, plus a verify API for your thank-you page.
WooCommerce in minutes
Install the plugin, paste your key, and your WordPress store accepts Ethiopian payments today.
An API developers already know
MeskelPay speaks the same dialect as Chapa: initialize a transaction, redirect to the checkout URL, verify by reference, listen for webhooks. Most existing integrations switch over by changing two constants.
