Hi Davis, They have an MPESA web portal from which they download the transactions periodically. For KPLC i suspect they download the payments once a day. On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 3:56 PM, Davis Waithaka <daviswaithaka@gmail.com>wrote:

Do you know what format they get it in, as in is it a database (eg MySql)? excel? CSV? Davis
I'm curious, How do they download the transactions exactly? Copy-Paste, or in some format, and do they do the entries manually to their system?

You can either download as a pdf document or an excel worksheet. It's basically a statement of all transactions sent to their biller code for a defined period.Most organisations have a tool that they use to upload the statement in excel format to whatever billing system they are using.

Dear all, Safaricom will give u what they call a busines terminal. Just the same as what the M-Pesa Agents have. Its basically a sim card that is tied to your business number. So once a transaction hits safcom dbase you also get an SMS confirmation on the simcard. So it depends with an organisation, and how they want to get there information. This will only give you the correct transactions but things like a user sending 30ksh will only reflect on the web interphase.
