Configure Payment Gateways (Card & Mobile Money)

Summary Payment gateways let guests pay by card or mobile money using your own provider account, so the money settles directly to you. Connect Stripe, Asaas, or M-Pesa in the Integrations section, or sell over WhatsApp. Several more gateways — including Mercado Pago — are on a waitlist you can join.

Beyond Pix, WiFi Monetization lets guests pay through a payment gateway you own. You connect your provider account once, and card or mobile-money payments settle directly to you under that provider’s terms — the 5% platform fee that applies to Pix does not apply here.

Gateways are configured per voucher, so different campaigns can use different providers.

Three gateways are live and configurable now:

Gateway	Best for	Guests pay by
Stripe	Card payments worldwide	Credit / debit card
Asaas	Brazilian operators	Card (and local methods)
M-Pesa	East Africa / mobile money	Mobile money wallet

In your voucher, open the Integrations section. Each gateway appears as a card showing whether its keys are set.

Open the card for your gateway and enter the API keys from that provider’s dashboard. Save — the card updates to show it is configured.

Once a gateway is configured, guests can select card or mobile money when they buy a plan on the captive portal.

WhatsApp is a simple, no-gateway option. Add a seller number in Payment Methods, and a guest who chooses WhatsApp gets temporary access and a link to message you. You arrange payment directly, then mark it paid or assign a plan from the Realtime screen. It is a good fit where cards and Pix are uncommon and a personal touch closes the sale.

Additional gateways are in private beta and shown as a waitlist you can join. Joining tells the team there is demand in your market and gets you early access when they go live. They include:

MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Orange Money, OPay, Mercado Pago, Paystack, EcoCash, AzamPay, ZenoPay, Pesapal, Relworx, Hallopesa, and M-Gurush.

To join, open the waitlist tile for the gateway you want and submit the request.

• Selling in Brazil? Start with Pix — it is the fastest for guests — and add Asaas or Stripe for card payments.
• Selling in Africa or a mobile-money market? Connect M-Pesa, and join the waitlist for your local wallet (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, and others).
• Selling internationally by card? Stripe is the broadest option.
• Small, in-person, or cash-first? WhatsApp and Point of Sale may be all you need to start.

You do not need every method. Turn on the one or two that fit your guests, launch, and add more only if real demand appears.

Does the 5% Pix fee apply to gateway payments? No. Card and mobile-money payments through your own gateway settle under that provider’s terms. The 5% platform fee applies to Pix only.

Where does the money go? Directly to your connected provider account, not through MKController.

Can I use more than one gateway? Yes. Configure the gateways that fit your guests; they choose at checkout.

Is Mercado Pago available? Not yet — it is on the waitlist. Join it to register demand and get early access.

What if my country’s wallet isn’t listed as live? Join its waitlist tile. Live availability expands based on demand.
