    Query transaction status, handle timeouts, and process reversals through the Daraja API.

    M-Pesa integration questions

    What is the Safaricom Daraja API?

    Daraja is Safaricom's official API platform that allows developers to integrate M-Pesa payment services into applications. We use it to implement STK Push, C2B, B2C, B2B, and transaction query features.

    How long does M-Pesa integration take?

    A standard M-Pesa STK Push integration takes 3–5 days. Full payment system builds with multiple payment methods, reconciliation, and reporting take 2–4 weeks.

    Do I need a Safaricom business account?

    Yes. You need a Paybill or Till number from Safaricom. We guide you through the application process and handle all the API setup, sandbox testing, and production go-live.

    Can you integrate M-Pesa with our existing system?

    Yes. We integrate M-Pesa into existing websites, ERPs, CRMs, POS systems, school management systems, and any custom software.

    What about payment failures and reversals?

    We build robust error handling, timeout management, automatic retries, and reversal flows. Your system will correctly handle every edge case Daraja throws at it.
