Payments for developers.

Build with SDKs, test in sandbox, and stay in sync with webhooks. Everything you need to ship a reliable integration.

Quickstart

Copy, run, and ship.

Create a payment intent in Node

import { PayMate } from "paymate";

const pm = new PayMate("pm_live_xxx");

const intent = await pm.paymentIntents.create({
  amount: 15000,
  currency: "MWK",
  payment_method: "airtel",
  customer: { phone: "+265..." },
});

console.log(intent.id);

First-class developer experience

Everything you need to build and debug quickly. Clear responses, predictable errors, and webhooks you can trust.

Test Mode

Simulate events safely

HTTP 200Sandbox

payment.created { id: "pi_3h8k2..." }

payment.pending { id: "pi_3h8k2..." }

payment.succeeded { id: "pi_3h8k2..." }

Validate your integration without sending real payments. Move through every state with predictable responses.
