How Businesses in Kenya Integrate M-Pesa, and What Does JM Innovatech Solutions Do About It?

✍️ By John Muthoga | πŸ“… 20 Aug, 2025

Introduction

In Kenya today, M-Pesa is the backbone of digital payments. Whether you run a supermarket in Nyeri, a restaurant in Nairobi, or an e-commerce store serving clients in Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and beyond, your customers expect to pay conveniently through M-Pesa.

But many businesses still wonder:
πŸ‘‰ What exactly is needed to integrate M-Pesa into my system, and how can I do it seamlessly?

That’s where JM Innovatech Solutions steps in.


Why M-Pesa Integration is Important

  • Convenience for Customers – Over 30M Kenyans actively use M-Pesa.

  • Efficiency for Businesses – Automates payment confirmations (no manual checks).

  • Security – Powered by Safaricom’s encrypted Daraja API.

  • Flexibility – Works with websites, mobile apps, ERPs, POS systems, and e-commerce platforms.


What Do You Need Before Integration?

To integrate M-Pesa successfully, you’ll need:

  1. A Paybill or Till Number

    • Paybill Number (best for businesses that need structured payments linked to accounts or invoices).

    • Till Number (Buy Goods & Services) (best for shops, restaurants, and retail businesses).

  2. M-Pesa Daraja API Account

    • Register on the Safaricom Daraja Portal.

    • Generate your API keys (Consumer Key & Consumer Secret).

    • Get Shortcodes (Paybill/Till) linked to your business.

  3. SSL Secured Domain / Hosting

    • Required to send and receive secure payment confirmations.

  4. Callback URLs

    • URLs on your system where Safaricom sends payment confirmations (success or failure).
