Hi Skunk(ette)s, Below are the speakers for the upcoming BitMagic: Michael Pedersen MpesaPi. Open source API for Mpesa commercial accounts. Abstract: If you want to integrate Mpesa with your system (i.e. e-commerce) today, you have to sign up with one of the payment-aggregators, and pay all the way up to 3.5% of the transaction in fees. If you only need Mpesa integration and not the full "aggregating", it is very limited what extra service you are receiving for those 3.5% - you are already paying Safaricom for the transaction, that should be enough. Using MpesaPI, it is possible for any developer to integrate directly with Safaricom, and thereby removing the need to utilize a "middleman" (aggregator), without having to spend time on developing infrastructure/API himself, hereby greatly reducing the cost of creating online commerce solutions in Kenya. In this talk I will present the system design behind the API, as well as a give a short introduction to the actual code. Dale Zak An iPhone App developer from Ushahidi. (Topic to be announced) Richard (Topic to be announced) I would like to thank them for volunteering their time and knowledge! 8~)
Question: Does it mean there is actually an Mpesa API? David. On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 6:03 PM, wesley kirinya <kiriinya2000@yahoo.com>wrote:
