Why M-Pesa integration matters for Kenyan apps
Most Kenyan users don't have a credit or debit card. M-Pesa is the primary payment method for the majority of your potential customers. An app without M-Pesa integration is leaving most of the market behind.
We integrate M-Pesa via Safaricom's Daraja API — the STK Push triggers a payment prompt directly on the customer's phone. They enter their PIN and the payment registers in seconds. No card details, no friction.
For businesses that also need card payments (corporate clients, diaspora users), we add Flutterwave or Paystack alongside M-Pesa so every customer can pay how they prefer.
