Common questions

What does the UGX 150,000 fee cover?

It is the one-time activation fee for live API access. Creating your account is free; payment confirmation is required before you create an application and API key.

Is the activation fee refundable?

The fee is non-refundable after live API access has been activated.

What does a customer pay?

The merchant enters the amount to receive. Billwebb adds a 1% app charge and the applicable withdrawal reserve; ioTec adds its 4% customer charge separately on the payer's phone.

What reaches the merchant wallet?

After the provider confirms a successful payment, the merchant wallet receives the original amount requested by the merchant.

Are there monthly minimums?

No. Billwebb has no monthly minimum or recurring platform fee for live API access.

Can I withdraw my wallet balance?

Yes. After identity, phone and business verification, you can request a withdrawal to your approved MTN/Airtel number or approved bank account. Requests are reviewed and paid manually, and the withdrawal form shows the applicable fee before submission.

Are hosted checkout and subscriptions available?

No. Hosted checkout, payment links, sandbox and subscriptions are still in preparation.
