Network & Odoo Partner to Power SME Growth in Africa
We are excited to announce our strategic partnership with Odoo, a global leader in open-source business management software, aimed at delivering seamless, secure, and omnichannel payment experiences to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Africa.
As Africa’s fastest-growing online payment gateway, Network is now fully integrated into the Odoo platform, offering businesses an all-in-one solution for managing their operations and accepting payments directly within the Odoo ecosystem. This powerful integration allows African businesses to easily process mobile money and card payments, enhancing operational efficiency and driving digital transformation
A Milestone in Digital Enablement for African SMEs
Odoo officially established its Africa regional headquarters in Nairobi in July 2022 to better understand and support local business needs. One of the most consistent requests from Odoo users has been streamlined local payment processing a necessity as e-commerce adoption and online transactions surge across Africa.
Responding to this need, Odoo has selected Network as a payment service provider (PSP) within its suite of business tools. This direct integration eliminates the need for third-party applications, providing plug-and-play online payment solutions for businesses in key markets like Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and beyond.
By integrating our payment solutions with Odoo’s tools, we’re enabling businesses to optimize operations, offer better customer experiences, and track real-time transactions, all while staying protected by advanced fraud prevention.
A Unified Solution for E-Commerce Growth in Africa
This collaboration comes at a critical time when Africa’s digital economy is experiencing rapid expansion. The need for robust, scalable, and secure payment infrastructure has never been more urgent.
With this new partnership, SMEs can:
