PayLinks let you create payment pages in a few clicks from the LigdiCash dashboard. No technical integration required: you enter the product or service details and LigdiCash generates a payment URL you can share via WhatsApp, email, SMS, or social media.

​
Requirements

  • An active LigdiCash account
  • A PayLink contract signed with LigdiCash (separate from the API contract)
  • A PayLink project enabled by the LigdiCash team
The PayLink contract is separate from the payment API contract. Contact developper@ligdicash.com to enable it.
PayLinks are organized in two levels inside the dashboard:
A PayLink project is a container that groups your PayLinks together. Each project has its own merchant sub-account, just like an API project. A PayLink is the individual payment link tied to a product or service. From the dashboard: Merchants → Paylinks → Create a new PayLink.

​
Payment configuration

You set a fixed amount in CFA francs. The customer cannot change it. Fits products with a single price.
The customer enters the amount they want to pay. A free-text field is shown on the payment page. Fits donations or open-amount payments.
You set a minimum amount. The customer can pay that amount or more, but not less. Fits subscriptions or contributions with a required floor.
You set a global target amount. Each customer contributes freely until the total target is reached. Fits fundraisers or group pots.

​
Other parameters

​
Post-payment action

LigdiCash displays the post-payment message you set. The customer stays on the LigdiCash confirmation page.
The customer is redirected to a page on your website after payment. You enter the target URL.
The “Generate a ticket” and “File download” options appear in the interface but are not functional.

​
The generated URL

Every PayLink is reachable at:
This URL is public and directly shareable. It opens in any browser and shows a LigdiCash payment page with the mobile money operators available under your contract.
The keyword appears in the URL — pick something short and memorable. Example: invoice-123 rather than payment-for-invoice-number-123-january-2024.

​
Callback

If you set a Callback URL, LigdiCash sends a notification to your server after every validated payment. It works exactly like the payment API callback: double request (application/x-www-form-urlencoded + application/json), same payload shape. See Callback security for the recommended re-verification pattern.

​
Payment tracking

Payments received via a PayLink appear under Merchants → Payin with the source PAYLINK. Each row shows the token, the trans_id, and a PayLink button to identify the source link. Funds are credited to the merchant sub-account of the PayLink project that matches the operator the customer used, just like any other LigdiCash payment.
