M-Pesa Integration for Websites, Shops and Systems
If customers pay by M-Pesa and someone on your team checks messages to confirm each payment, you’re losing time and sales. We integrate M-Pesa directly through Safaricom’s Daraja API, so payments are requested on the customer’s phone and confirmed in your website or system automatically. We also integrate M-Pesa through iPay and Pesapal when a gateway suits you better.

M-PESA OPTIONS
What we integrate
STK Push (Lipa na M-Pesa Online)
The customer enters their number and gets a payment prompt on their phone; your system receives the confirmation.
Paybill and Till
Payments to your Paybill or Till number are matched to orders, invoices or accounts automatically.
Payment confirmations
Callbacks update the order or invoice status the moment the payment is complete.
Via iPay and Pesapal
We also integrate M-Pesa through iPay and Pesapal, alongside cards and PayPal, where a gateway suits you better.
USE CASES
Where we add M-Pesa
We add M-Pesa to online shops and WooCommerce checkouts, booking and deposit forms, membership and school fee payments, and custom business systems and web applications. The aim is the same each time: the customer pays on their phone and your records update without manual checking.
PROCESS
How a Daraja integration works
01 Your Safaricom account
You apply for, or already have, a Paybill or Till; we guide you through the Daraja portal.
02 Sandbox build
We build and test the integration in Safaricom's sandbox first.
03 Go-live approval
We help you complete the go-live steps with Safaricom.
04 Live testing
Real small transactions are tested end to end before launch.
05 Handover
You get documentation and the credentials stay in your name.
YOUR ACCOUNT
Security and ownership
Your Paybill or Till and your Daraja credentials stay in your name; we never route your money through our account. Payment callbacks are validated on the server, and credentials are stored securely, never in the page code.
PRICING
M-Pesa integration pricing
M-Pesa integration is quoted per project: adding STK Push to an existing shop is a different job from integrating Paybill reconciliation into a custom system. Contact us for a quote. If it is part of a new website, websites start from KES 65,000 (USD 600 for international clients).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you add M-Pesa to my existing website?
Yes. We can add STK Push or Paybill and Till payments to most existing websites and shops after a quick review of how the site is built.
What is the Daraja API?
Daraja is Safaricom’s API platform that lets websites and systems request M-Pesa payments and receive automatic payment confirmations.
Do you integrate M-Pesa directly or through a gateway?
Both. We integrate M-Pesa directly through the Safaricom Daraja API, and through the iPay and Pesapal gateways.
What is STK Push?
STK Push sends a payment prompt to the customer’s phone. They enter their M-Pesa PIN, and your website receives the confirmation automatically.
Do I need a Paybill or Till number?
Yes. M-Pesa payments go to your own Paybill or Till. We guide you through setting up Daraja access and the go-live steps with Safaricom.
How much does M-Pesa integration cost?
It is quoted per project, depending on the site or system and the payment flows you need. Contact us for a quote.
Can you integrate M-Pesa into a custom system or app?
Yes. We integrate M-Pesa into custom business systems and web applications, including payment matching for invoices and accounts.
