The goal of this initial release is to reduce the time it takes to find usable SDKs, wrappers, and integration examples for common payment providers.

At launch, we focused on a curated set of integrations across:

  • Go
  • PHP and Laravel
  • Python
  • Community plugin/tooling utilities

This first version started intentionally lightweight:

  • clear documentation structure
  • direct links to repositories
  • provider-focused groupings
  • community-first contribution path

If you are maintaining an integration package and want it listed, open a PR with your repository link and a short usage description. The long-term vision is to make this resource the most useful developer index for payment integrations in Africa.

This update is focused on making the project easier to navigate, easier to maintain, and ready for growth.

What changed​

1) Rebrand and positioning​

The project now presents itself as an Africa-focused developer index for:

  • mobile money rails
  • payment service providers (PSPs)
  • bank and gateway integrations
  • SDKs and plugins

The core discovery model is now explicit:

Region -> Country -> Provider -> SDK/Library

2) Structured data catalogue​

We introduced a machine-readable catalogue under data/ with normalized YAML records and schema guidance. This enables future work like filtering, quality checks, and API-style exports without reworking content again.

Current catalogue sections:

  • data/mobile-money/
  • data/psp/
  • data/sdk/

3) Website recreation (TypeScript)​

The website was recreated with a fresh TypeScript Docusaurus setup, then updated with existing content and branding changes:

  • migrated integration docs and blog content
  • updated homepage copy and feature messaging
  • customized theme via swizzle (footer wrapper)
  • refreshed visual assets and logo

4) Visual refresh​

The theme now uses a black / white / cream palette, and homepage illustrations were refreshed to keep the site visually current.

Why this matters​

This revamp sets a strong base for the next phase:

  • richer provider coverage
  • better contributor workflows
  • automation for content quality
  • eventual search and API capabilities

If you maintain an SDK or integration in this ecosystem, contributions are welcome. The easiest way to help is to add or update a YAML entry and open a pull request.
