To set up mobile money payments through Paystack in Kenya, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a Paystack Account​

  • If you don’t already have a Paystack account, visit Paystack's website and sign up by providing your business details. You'll need to complete the necessary verification process.

2. Integrate Paystack with Your Website or App​

  • If you have a website or app, you need to integrate Paystack for processing payments. Paystack offers a variety of integration options, such as using their pre-built plugins for platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, or using their APIs for custom-built websites.

3. Enable Mobile Money (e.g., M-Pesa)​

Paystack allows you to accept payments via mobile money, such as M-Pesa, in Kenya. To set it up:

  • Login to Paystack: Go to the Paystack dashboard.
  • Navigate to the Settings: From the dashboard, go to the settings or payment settings section.
  • Enable Mobile Money: Look for the payment method options and enable "Mobile Money" (specifically M-Pesa in Kenya).
Note: Paystack automatically supports mobile money payments, so you should find M-Pesa as a payment option by default if you're based in Kenya. If it’s not enabled or visible, contact Paystack support for assistance.

4. Add Mobile Money API (for Custom Integrations)​

  • If you’re using custom APIs to integrate Paystack, you can use their documentation to implement mobile money options. You'll need to use the Paystack API to handle payments and provide the correct mobile money options to customers at checkout.

5. Test the Mobile Money Integration​

  • Before going live, you should test mobile money payments. Paystack provides a test environment where you can simulate payments using M-Pesa and other methods to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
  • After testing, switch to live mode to start accepting real payments.

6. Accepting Payments​

  • Once your integration is set up, customers can choose M-Pesa (or another mobile money option) at checkout.
  • They will then be prompted to enter their mobile money details, and after completing the payment, Paystack will process the transaction and notify both you and the customer.

7. Monitoring Payments​

  • Use the Paystack dashboard to monitor payments, view transaction details, and handle refunds if needed.

8. Receiving Funds​

  • After a successful transaction, Paystack will transfer the payment to your linked bank account. Mobile money payments typically take a short time, but it can vary depending on the payment method.
