Payment gateway · Zimbabwe
Take EcoCash payments,
and see every cent of what it costs.
Lango collects for you online and in person, shows the full charge before it happens, and settles to your bank with a line-by-line advice. No surprises on payday.
Sandbox keys the moment you register. No paperwork until you go live.
The gateway
Accept payments anywhere you sell
Hosted checkout, payment links, QR codes, and a clean API. A customer taps a link, approves on their phone, and you both get an answer you can trust — even when the network doesn't cooperate.
- Hosted checkout built for 3G and small phones
- Payment links and printable QR codes — no website needed
- Webhooks, dashboard, and settlement advices that add up
The POS
Ring up sales at the counter
A point of sale for the shop floor: products, tills, daily totals — with EcoCash built in. Free while you use the gateway; a simple subscription on its own.
- Works on the Android devices you already own
- Every sale lands in the same dashboard as your online payments
- One reconciliation, not two
The true cost
"2%" is rarely 2%
The advertised rate is the start, not the total. By the time commission, IMTT and bank transfer fees have taken their share, many merchants pay roughly double what was on the poster — and find out on payday. Lango itemises everything up front.

What Lango shows you
How it works
Three steps between you and paid
Create a charge
From your dashboard, a payment link, a QR code, or one API call.
Customer approves
They confirm on their own phone with their EcoCash PIN. We chase the answer, not you.
Money settles
Funds land in your bank on your cycle, with an advice that names every deduction.
For developers
One call to charge.
One webhook to know.
Idempotent by design, honest about uncertainty — a payment is never marked failed while the network is still deciding. Test against the sandbox tonight.

Built like a bank, not a startup demo
Your money is treated as your money
Client funds are segregated
Money we collect for you sits in a dedicated client account, separate from Lango's operating funds — and the books that prove it are checked continuously.
Dual control on every payout
No single person at Lango can move merchant money. Every settlement takes a second approver, enforced by the database itself, not by policy.
An append-only ledger
Every cent is double-entry accounted. Records are never edited or deleted — corrections happen in the open, as new entries.
