The problem

Customers abandon cart because they cannot pay how they want

You send buyers your M-Pesa number. They open another app. They mistype the till. They forget to send the screenshot. You check your messages every two minutes. By the time you confirm, they have changed their mind. Cart abandonment is not about price — it is about friction at the finish line.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need a Daraja API account?

Only if you want automated STK push on the Growth or Business plan. Free and Starter plans use manual till-number display. We guide you through Daraja setup in under ten minutes.

How long does payment confirmation take?

Usually 5–15 seconds. The order dashboard updates automatically when the M-Pesa callback arrives.

Can I use my personal M-Pesa number?

Yes, but we recommend a business till or paybill for cleaner accounting and higher transaction limits.
