lightly,,, I humbly request that we "advertise" own products (even "offlist") but without seemingly "bashing" other skunkers' solutions? developers that have taken their time to showcase theirs to us at skunkworks@tuesdays.. +plus..there's 17 million mobile users out there ~ enough for 100 web-interfaced mobile payment solutions to happily live on after successful deployments. just how I see it, sawa?

Hi, Its a solution i have been selling without much advertisement because we are working on a more comprehensive payment gateway for East Africa that will use the local payment methods, airtime, Visa and other means to process payments.

David, Why don't you share on the list what the current payment gateway offers. You've mentioned many times to be contacted offlist but I'm sure many people on the list are interested in a solution, the topic keeps coming up. On one hand someone could copy your idea and do you a Safaricom vs Zain, on the other hand guys may share ideas and greatly improve the current mpesa online payment solution (leave alone the East African Visa) By the way, I&M Bank are now offering online payment solutions for sellers in Kenya. 2009/11/9 David Mugo <raidarmax@gmail.com>

David,
Why don't you share on the list what the current payment gateway offers. You've mentioned many times to be contacted offlist but I'm sure many people on the list are interested in a solution, the topic keeps coming up.
On one hand someone could copy your idea and do you a Safaricom vs Zain, on the other hand guys may share ideas and greatly improve the current mpesa online payment solution (leave alone the East African Visa)
By the way, I&M Bank are now offering online payment solutions for sellers in Kenya.

Hi,
Its a solution i have been selling without much advertisement because we are working on a more comprehensive payment gateway for East Africa that will use the local payment methods, airtime, Visa and other means to process payments. If you want details of the current solution, contact me offlist.
David.

Any one know if there is an MPESA API that can be integrated into a website to sell digital data.

@guys, just an amatuer input on this API thing. In our past comms days, we used to connect eg cellphones/gsm modems via serial ports and read data realtime from them. Eg, using hyper-terminal or using a serial data device convertor that will pick eg characters or dump to a file. Then your gateway can convert the dump file to a format eg XML, CSV, XLS that will be helpful to your webpage code? I dont think you need an Mpesa API, as long as you can read serial data from the sim using serial methods and that data can be converted. If you look carefully at the mpesa process, the transaction is a few characters with eg sender code, your code etc. Me thots... an apology if have not stepped on any toes.. :-)

disclaimer>>me amatuer thots, thought so too, Aki! I'm wondering how much control of the transactions these 'APIs' that have been developed actually have... I mean, without safaricom in the mix. Anything extra? Access to accounts? USSD+encryption? Just wondering...

Speaking for myself: my mainstay is not coding, but I thrive on Joomla and making it look and work however the client wants it to. I'd sweat my way through building an application from scratch, but I dont think I should even bother because there are guys (on this list) who thrive in that. Speaking for Skunkworks, why should more than 4 people work on duplicate projects? Suppose Pesapal, David Mugo and Wanjiku (Kenyan Jane Doe) develop a mobile payment API, then have guys critic them to excellence and the web developers have something to resell to clients. Apply the same to other problem areas. I think the aim is to come up with working solutions, that is best done by the best. If we all focus on what we are really good at, the combined end result should be profitable for all. I think 2009/11/9 Edward Obiko <edobie@gmail.com>

In fact I would say companies like PesaPal are the way to go. If you program against the MPesa API you are in effect bound to Safaricom as opposed to going through an aggregator where you can swap out payment gateways as the need arises.

These Modem-based work-arounds are helping to offer the solution in the meantime, but what happens when the transactions exceed 5 per minute to a vendor during peak-time??? On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 9:21 AM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:
