    Designed for Ethiopian banks and mobile money, enabled as each rail goes live.

    Practice collections safely, then switch to LIVE when your flow is ready.

  • Keys and webhooks

    Scoped API keys and signed events so integrations stay verifiable.

  • Merchant ops clarity

    Volume, refunds, and exceptions stay visible in one portal for your team.

Features

What makes BitBirr feel ready for real business.

From the first payment link to the merchant dashboard, tools that stay clear, fast, and built for Ethiopia.

  • Payment links in seconds

    Create a link, share it anywhere, and start collecting ETB without building a checkout page.

  • Hosted checkout

    A clean pay experience for customers on web or in the BitBirr app, with the same flow and less friction.

  • Live merchant dashboard

    Track volume, pending payments, refunds, and TEST vs LIVE activity from one place.

  • Developer ready APIs

    Scoped keys, signed webhooks, and a REST API that fits into the product you already run.

  • Receipts customers keep

    Successful payments land in a clear history, with no hunting through chats or email threads.

  • Local payment rails

    Built for Ethiopian banks and mobile money, ready as each rail is officially enabled.

How it works

Three steps from request to receipt.

Start simple with a link, then deepen into APIs when your product needs payments inside its own flow.

  1. 01

    Create a payment

    Make a link, open hosted checkout, or call the API with an ETB amount.

  2. 02

    Customer pays

    They complete payment on web or in the BitBirr app through an enabled local rail.

  3. 03

    You reconcile

    Status lands in the dashboard, receipts stay with the customer, webhooks update your system.
