MO and MT billing are two billing methods used by mobile operators. Both MO and MT billing are specific for Premium SMS billing method where customers pay by SMS. On MO billing customer is billed for the SMS they send from their mobile phone, while on MT billing the customer needs to receive a reply SMS from MoCoPay for the billing to be executed.

Direct operator billing – DOB, or also commonly referred to as Mobile Content Billing – MCB, is a billing method used by mobile operators that does not require SMS to charge customer’s mobile bill. Using DOB, customers authorize the payment with a PIN code or with a click in the MoCoPay checkout.

No. MoCoPaypays out your revenue without any additional taxes and withholding.

MoCoPay pays out your earned revenue to your bank account (wire transfer) or PayPal.

MoCoPay offers payment in EURO (EUR).

Payout cycle depends on when mobile operators pay the money to MoCoPay. In most cases, mobile operators pay MoCoPay within 1 to 3 months, while MoCoPay pays his Merchants within 3-5 days from receiving the money from the mobile operator.

MoCoPay is sharing revenue from the customer price excluded from taxes. I.e. if the user is billed €10, VAT is €2 and payout percentage is 80%, you as a Merchant will get €6.4 to your bank account. All payout percentages found on countries page represent the end-user price without VAT.

When people do not pay their phone bill, operators are not able to collect this sum. Some mobile operators treat uncollected sum as bad debt which is withheld from the payout.

This can be because mobile operators have either refunded some of your end-users or people did not pay their phone bill or you have missed the part that the revenue sharing is calculated from the end-user price without VAT. If any of the above-mentioned reasons is not valid, it may be a technical error on our side. In that case, please let us know – contact us via support@mocopay.com.

The most common reason is that the mobile operator will not deliver a reply message in case of unsuccessful payment. If you believe the billing has been successful, first check if the user has sent the message to the right short code and started the message with the right keyword. If everything is alright, then check your service settings – whether the service is still active and the back-end is properly set up. If no problem is found, please contact MoCoPay Support and explain the issue, while including the phone number of the customer with date and time the message was sent.

Most common reason for payment to fail is that the customer has insufficient funds in his prepaid mobile phone SIM card. In this case, the customer should top-up his mobile phone to be able to pay. Another reason that may cause failed payment is that the customer’s mobile phone is disabled for payments by his mobile operator, in which case the customer should contact his mobile operator and ask to be enabled. In rare cases other issues may cause payment to fail, like temporary technical issues, errors in service setup etc. If you suspect of any technical error, please let us know at support@mocopay.com.

Generally all countries native alphabets are used within MoCoPay incoming messages, exceptions from that rule are possible because of mobile operators’ specific restrictions.

All languages are supported. MoCoPay currently offers native libraries for Android apps and Web pages, the rest of programming languages are supported by using cross platform API integration.

MoCoPay uses attractive, responsive, HTML5 based payment forms which are presented to the customer before the actual purchase happens. For Android in some countries those forms are presented with native layouts and purchase flows are optimized for the platform. Exact content of the forms is country depended but, for general impression here is a preview of the forms:

Mocopay ensures best payment experience worldwide so it’s very important to ensure all language specific characters get displayed properly to your customers. Non-Latin letters used in SMS reply reduce the number of characters in an SMS, and this is the main reason why the limit is set to 120 characters.

If you encounter any difficulty while integrating our system you should:

• check in our control box if there are any mismatches in parameters you are using

• if nothing above helped you, contact our support team.

It is recommended to use a backend server to handle purchase results more efficiently because of the asynchronous nature of SMS message delivery. Alternatively, you can check your payment outcome by calling verifyPayment towards MoCoPay API server.
