AI-native payment infrastructure

Payments built for everyday Africans.

Malipo by Tunzaa is an AI-native payment gateway built for everyday Africans.

Payment infrastructure built differently.

Malipo combines payments infrastructure with AI-native developer tools to make accepting payments simpler to build, integrate, and manage.

Built for everyday Africans

Payment infrastructure designed around the realities of African businesses and their customers.

AI-native by design

Malipo works with the AI tools developers already use, making payment integration part of your development workflow.

Simple to integrate

Go from sandbox to your first payment with straightforward APIs, clear documentation, and AI-assisted integration.

Integrate in minutes, not days.

Two ways to build. One payment gateway.

AI-First Integration

Build with Malipo MCP

Bring Malipo directly into your AI coding environment. Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or another MCP-compatible editor and ask it to help you build your payment integration.

1
Connect Malipo
Add the Malipo MCP server to your AI editor.
2
Describe what you want to build
Tell your AI assistant the payment experience you need.
3
Start building
Your assistant can work with Malipo's tools and documentation to help implement your payment flow.

  }

Prefer the API?

Build directly with Malipo

Use the Malipo REST API to integrate payments into your application with your preferred language and framework.

bash -- Checkout Example

curl -X POST "https://pay.tunzaa.co.tz/payments/initiate-payment" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Environment: sandbox" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
  -d '{
  "customer_msisdn": "255700000000",
  "amount": "1000",
  "reference": "ORDER-123"
}'

From idea to payment.
