How it works

From sign-up to your first live conversion.

eData Plug sits between your product and the providers. You own the customer experience; we run the transaction engine.

For your Business

Getting set up

Most of this happens in an afternoon. Approval is the only step that involves our team.

01

Create your account

Register your Business and verify your email. You get a dashboard and test API keys straight away.
02

Build with test keys

Integrate the Airtime-to-Cash endpoints against our simulator. Use webhooks to receive every state change.
03

Complete onboarding

Tell us about your Business, choose how you want to be settled and submit for review.
04

Approval & live keys

Once approved, create live keys, configure your networks, limits and customer rates, and go live.

Airtime-to-Cash

All on your website or app, under your brand. Behind each step is one API call.

Step 1
Enter line & network

The customer chooses a network and enters the line they want to convert from.
POST /a2c/otp/request
Step 2
Verify with OTP

They receive a one-time code on that line and enter it on your site.
POST /a2c/otp/verify
Step 3
Confirm the amount

They see your quote, then confirm with their own SIM transfer PIN — used once, never stored.
POST /a2c/convert
Step 4
Get paid by you

The airtime transfer is confirmed, your webhook fires and you pay your customer from your system.

Behind the scenes

The parts your customers never see — and the reason you can trust the numbers in your dashboard.

Server-side pricing: Rates, fees and limits are calculated on our servers, never trusted from the client.
Idempotency: Retrying with the same reference returns the original result — never a second transfer.
Ledger posting: Each confirmed conversion is posted exactly once to a balanced, immutable ledger.
Reconciliation: Unknown provider outcomes are escalated for review, not guessed.
Settlement: Your wallet is credited after a short holding period, or airtime goes straight to your SIM.
Audit trail: Every sensitive action is logged with who did it and when.
