Mpesa for Online payment?? For now its at your own risk. If you want to trade with mpesa in your small business the best thing would be to signup for an account with paybill-mpesa. When signed up you will be the only one who can reverse a transaction or any errors in payment. But for the sim based one reversals are all over and there are too many conmen out there doing it. Theres is no API yet for Mpesa but the ZAP one is pretty good for system integration(but can be improved), which means that for your online payments youre given a ready platform to hook up to your web/trading portal.

Hi Ok3ch ,
Safaricom setup is free, the catch is the transaction fee, ranging from 25-175ksh. Zain you actually pay a setup fee of 180,000 ksh and a monthly fee of guess 24K, but there transaction fee is fixed at 10bob, But the CEO must Approve.. they have a lot of ducumentation ang afreements... You must start bt signing a non-disc before they give you the niti gritis of the system. Hope this clears the Air.

Ok3ch - I'm sure if you call/walk up to the mpesa division at Safaricom they have all the information you need, ofcourse its all about how much money your mpesa number can bring in.
I agree with Dennis, become an mpesa partner.. that is what the Paybill function is all about (reversal of a paybill transaction is not possible by a customer, if he/she calls customer care they will be referred to the company they made the payment to).

seems the only option at the moment is to register your business with mpesa. it also discourages you from using the normal mpesa in your business.
