How it works - Paybill and Till Numbers
With STK Push Enabled
At the checkout page, the client clicks on “Complete Payment” button. This send a request to MPESA system indicting the amount to be paid by the client, the clients phone number and your pay bill or till number. The request is processed and a push notification is send to the clients phone number with a prompt to enter MPESA PIN only.
On completing the payment from the phone number, your website redirected the client to the next page which display the order details and payment details.
With STK Push Disabled
A client is presented with instructions on how to pay using MPESA from the checkout page. When a client makes payments to your MPESA Till or Pay Bill Number, a confirmation request is send to your web server.

- The client keys in Transaction Code received from MPESA and clicks on “Verify Payment and Place Order“
- The system looks up for transactions originating from the Clients Phone that have not been used and sums up the amount. If the total sum is less that the order total, the client is notified and asked to top up the difference.
