Introduction

CamelPay is a developer-first payment platform for Tanzanian students. Integrate mobile money payments and payouts with a single API.

Everything you need to integrate with the CamelPay API and start collecting payments.

What CamelPay gives you

Unified API — one platform for payments and payouts.
Multiple providers — M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Mixx by Yas, Halotel.
TZS native — all amounts in Tanzanian Shillings, integer format.
Webhooks — real-time payment status notifications pushed to your own endpoint.
Idempotent — safe retries with idempotency keys.

Base URLs

Environment	Base URL
Production	`https://api.camelpay.in`
Local Dev	`http://localhost:8080`

There is no separate sandbox domain — test and live are the same base URL, distinguished entirely by which API key you send (cp_test_... vs cp_live_...). See Testing for details.
