# Pay with EcoCash

Buy a Plus or Gold pass with EcoCash in the Android app downloaded from murudo.co or on Murudo Web, step by step.

You can pay with EcoCash in the Android app downloaded from murudo.co and on Murudo Web. You type your EcoCash number, a prompt appears on that phone, and you enter your PIN there. The app installed from Google Play pays through Google Play instead: see [Why do I not see EcoCash as a payment option?](https://help.murudo.co/premium-and-payments/which-payment-methods-do-i-have/)

## Before you start

- You need an Econet number with EcoCash. For a NetOne number, choose **OneMoney** instead.
- Have enough balance for the pass.
- Keep the phone with that SIM next to you, switched on and unlocked. The prompt only lasts about a minute.

## Pay in the Android app

1. Open **Profile** and tap **See Plans**.
2. Under **Choose your tier**, tap **Plus** or **Gold**.
3. Under **Choose your pass**, tap the 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day pass.
4. Tap the button that starts with **Get Plus** or **Get Gold**. It names the pass and its price.
5. On **Buy Pass**, under **Payment method**, tap **EcoCash**.

6. Under **Phone number**, type your EcoCash number, for example `0771234567`. Tap **Send USSD prompt**.

7. The screen changes to **Check phone**. When the prompt appears on your phone, enter your EcoCash PIN.
8. Stay on the screen. When the payment is confirmed you see **Payment Successful** and your pass is active. Tap **Done**.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Enter your PIN only in the EcoCash prompt on your own phone. Murudo never asks for your PIN in the app, in a chat or by email.

## Pay on Murudo Web

1. Open **Profile** and tap **See Plans**.
2. Under **Murudo Plus** or **Murudo Gold**, tap the price of the pass you want: **24 hours**, **7 days** or **30 days**.
3. In the **Buy Pass** box, tap **EcoCash**.
4. Type your number under **EcoCash Phone Number** and tap **Send USSD prompt**.
5. Enter your PIN in the prompt on your phone. The box tells you when the payment is confirmed. Tap **Done**.

## While you wait

- **Cancel** in the app, or closing the box on Murudo Web, only closes the payment screen. It does not cancel a prompt that is already on your phone. If you enter your PIN on that prompt, you still pay, and Murudo keeps checking for the payment so that your pass can be switched on.
- If you see **Checking your payment**, do not start another payment. See [What "Checking your payment" means](https://help.murudo.co/premium-and-payments/checking-your-payment/).
- If the prompt never arrives or the payment is refused, see [My payment is not going through](https://help.murudo.co/premium-and-payments/payment-not-going-through/).

## After you pay

Your pass starts when the payment is confirmed and ends on its end date. It does not renew, and Murudo does not take another payment when it ends. To check the date, see [See your plan and when it ends](https://help.murudo.co/premium-and-payments/see-your-plan/).

The number does not have to be your own. See [Can I pay for someone else?](https://help.murudo.co/premium-and-payments/gift-or-transfer-premium/)
