The thing that catches people out
COOPay and Kaafi both run on the same Ebirr receipt host, and a bare token does not say which brand issued it. links.et routes an unlabelled token to COOPay because that is the more common of the two. If a COOPay lookup comes back empty, try the same token as Kaafi.
How to check a COOPay Ebirr payment before you hand over goods
- 1.Get the reference, not a screenshotAsk for the the receipt link. The COOPay confirmation SMS, or the transaction history in the app. A screenshot is a picture of a claim; the reference is the thing COOPay can confirm.
- 2.Look it upPaste it in, or send it to the API from your own system. links.et fetches the receipt from receipt.ebirr.com, which is COOPay's own receipt service.
- 3.Check the amount and the receiverCompare both against your own record. COOPay Ebirr identifies the parties the way the wallet does, so check that the receiver is you and not somebody with a similar name or number.
- 4.Check it is not a repeatConfirm the reference is not one you have already accepted. A genuine COOPay Ebirr receipt shown to two sellers verifies for both of them, and nothing on the receipt itself says it has been spent.
Questions about COOPay Ebirr
How do I verify a COOPay Ebirr transaction?
Take the the receipt link from the COOPay Ebirr receipt and paste it into links.et. It fetches the receipt from receipt.ebirr.com, which is COOPay's own receipt service, and returns the amount, sender, receiver, reference and timestamp exactly as the wallet recorded them. The COOPay confirmation SMS, or the transaction history in the app.
What does a COOPay Ebirr transaction reference look like?
COOPay Ebirr accepts 2 kinds of input: the receipt link, just the token (Twenty-two characters, mixed upper and lower case). An example of the first shape is https://receipt.ebirr.com/coopay/FAKEtoken0000fake0000FA, which is invented rather than a real reference.
Can a COOPay Ebirr payment screenshot be faked?
Yes. Any screenshot can be edited, and edited COOPay Ebirr screenshots are common enough that a picture should never be treated as proof on its own. What cannot be edited is the receipt COOPay publishes at receipt.ebirr.com. links.et goes and reads that, so the amount you see is the wallet's, not the image's.
Why did my COOPay Ebirr lookup come back empty?
COOPay and Kaafi both run on the same Ebirr receipt host, and a bare token does not say which brand issued it. links.et routes an unlabelled token to COOPay because that is the more common of the two. If a COOPay lookup comes back empty, try the same token as Kaafi.
Is COOPay Ebirr verification down?
links.et probes receipt.ebirr.com every few minutes from inside Ethiopia and publishes the result at https://links.et/status/ebirr, with the history behind it. If that page shows an outage, the wallet's receipt service is unreachable and no verification tool can read it, including this one. Payments made during an outage still verify normally once it clears.
