Features

​
Auto-saved Variables

When you create a resource, the ID is automatically saved for subsequent requests: 
// After creating a payment intent
pm.environment.set("payment_intent_id", response.id);

// The "Get Payment Intent" request automatically uses this ID
GET /v1/payment_intents/{{payment_intent_id}}

​
Built-in Tests

Each request includes automatic validation: 
pm.test("Status code is 201", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(201);
});

pm.test("Response has payment intent data", function () {
    var jsonData = pm.response.json();
    pm.expect(jsonData).to.have.property('id');
    pm.expect(jsonData).to.have.property('status');
});

​
Pre-filled Examples

All requests come with realistic example payloads: 
{
  "amount": 10000,
  "currency": "XAF",
  "description": "Payment for Order #12345",
  "metadata": {
    "orderId": "12345",
    "productName": "Premium Subscription"
  }
}

​
Environments

We provide two environment configurations:

Sandbox

For testing
  • URL: api.sandbox.yabetoo.com
  • Use test API keys (sk_test_...)
  • No real money is transferred

Production

For live payments
  • URL: api.yabetoo.com
  • Use live API keys (sk_live_...)
  • Real transactions
Never commit your API keys to version control. Use Postman’s environment variables to keep them secure.

​
Typical Workflow

Here’s a common testing workflow:
  1. Create Payment Intent - Initialize a payment
  2. Confirm Payment - Add customer’s mobile money details
  3. Check Status - Poll or wait for webhook
  4. Create Disbursement - Send payout (if needed)

​
Test Phone Numbers

Use these test numbers in sandbox mode:
NumberOperatorCountryBehavior
242066000001MTNCongoAlways succeeds
242066000002MTNCongoAlways fails
242055000001AirtelCongoAlways succeeds

​
Troubleshooting

  • Check that your API key is correctly set in the environment
  • Ensure you’re using the right key for the environment (test key for sandbox)
  • Verify the key hasn’t been revoked in your dashboard
  • Make sure you’ve selected an environment (top right dropdown)
  • Run the “Create” request before the “Get” request to auto-populate IDs
  • Check the environment variables by clicking the eye icon
  • In Postman Settings, disable “SSL certificate verification” for testing
  • This should only be done in development environments
