pawaPay Builders: Cameroon Hackathon

The starter kit for the pawaPay × Mountain Hub hackathon at PROMOTE.

Build on top of pawaPay between Monday and Wednesday. Demo Thursday. Pick anything: a mobile money checkout, a payouts dashboard, a bill-splitter, a remittance flow, a crypto on-ramp. Any language, any framework.

👉 Start here

getting-started.md: get sandbox access and an API token in two steps.

Then pick a path:

• Build something custom in any stack → load the skill/ into Claude and ask it to write your integration.
• Use the WooCommerce plugin → see plugin/ for a pre-built WordPress payment gateway.
• Track your transactions on the shared sandbox → tracking-transactions.md.
• All the links → resources.md.

🎥 Watch the skill in action: Loom walkthrough. The WooCommerce plugin in this repo took about six prompts to build with the skill.
