Odoo integrates with Network to simplify online payments across Africa

New integration enhances local payment capabilities in response to rising e-commerce and SME demand on the continent.

Odoo, a global leader in open-source business management applications, has officially integrated with Network, Africa’s fastest-growing online payment gateway. The move is part of Odoo’s strategy to deliver localized, user-friendly solutions to businesses across the continent.

Since establishing its African hub in Nairobi in July 2022, Odoo has worked to better understand and address the specific needs of local businesses. Feedback from clients and partners highlighted the need for a streamlined local payment system—particularly amid the rapid growth of e-commerce and digital transactions across Africa.

“Many of our clients were already integrating with DPO Pay by Network through third-party apps. With this new integration, DPO Pay is now fully embedded into our standard system, simplifying the payment process and improving the user experience,” said Victor Maina, Head of Sales, Africa at Odoo.

DPO Pay by Network is widely used by thousands of businesses across the continent and is a trusted payment solution for small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to digitize their operations. This partnership reflects Odoo’s ongoing commitment to supporting digital transformation in Africa by making enterprise tools more accessible, affordable, and relevant to local needs.

“With strong local partners like Network, we’re removing barriers for African businesses and helping them operate more efficiently,” added Maina. “We look forward to enabling even more companies to thrive online.”

Network is Africa’s largest and fastest-growing payment gateway, providing businesses of all sizes, from small enterprises to global companies, with the technology, tools, and support needed to send and receive online payments anytime, anywhere.
