This is a fully functioning plugin not a demo version. It works in both Sandbox (development mode) and in Live (production mode).

Please keep in mind that MoMo Sandbox has several limitations imposed by MTN, see them here:

• Sandbox is not requesting real money, means no USSD request on your phone. no matter how hard you try 😂
• In the Sandbox you can only use EUR currency and certain test numbers from Sweden 🇸🇪 🥶
• Sandbox is not able to callback your application, to notify about payment status. This one is a sad limitation. 😞
• Test phones numbers to test for error conditions are limited to 46733123450, 46733123451, 46733123452, 46733123453
• Only this number will be able to “pay” after 30 seconds 46733123454 😎
• All other numbers will act like the payment was successful immediately!
