Quick Answer

To integrate Mobile Money into your Ghana e-commerce site: Use payment gateways like Paystack, Flutterwave, or Hubtel that support MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, and AirtelTigo Money. These platforms handle the technical integration, security, and reconciliation, typically charging 1-2% per transaction.
