Currencies and amounts

LigdiCash operates exclusively in XOF. Amount formats and limits per operator.

LigdiCash operates exclusively in CFA francs (XOF). All amounts sent to the API, regardless of the display currency in your interface, must be expressed in XOF.

Currency

The devise field in the body of all your requests must always be "XOF":

{
  "invoice": {
    "total_amount": 5000,
    "devise": "XOF",
    ...
  }
}

If your application handles several currencies internally, the conversion to XOF is your responsibility before calling the LigdiCash API. The API does not perform any conversion — it interprets the received amount as XOF.

Amount format

XOF has no decimals. All amounts are integers:

✅ Correct	❌ Incorrect
5000	5000.00
100	100.5
25000	"25000" (string)

Amounts must be passed as integers (type integer), never as strings or with decimals.

Limits per operator

Each operator enforces its own amount limits per transaction. These limits generally cover:

• Minimum amount per transaction
• Maximum amount per transaction
• Daily cap (depending on the operator)

The exact limits are documented on each operator’s page. See the Operators section for the operator you are interested in.

If an amount exceeds the operator’s limit, the transaction will return an error. See Sub-codes per endpoint — notably Echec (Code02) on createInvoice — for details.
