Complete M-Pesa Integration for Kenyan Businesses

Accept, reconcile and report on every M-Pesa transaction — automatically

STK Push Payments

Trigger instant M-Pesa payment prompts from within BetaSuite. Enter the customer's phone number and the amount — the STK Push appears on their screen and they approve with their PIN. Confirmation arrives automatically in BetaSuite within seconds, posting the payment to the customer's account and updating the invoice to "paid". No more waiting for screenshots or manually checking M-Pesa messages to confirm payments have arrived.

Paybill & Till Number Integration

Connect your Paybill business number or Buy Goods Till Number directly to BetaSuite. When customers pay via M-Pesa to your shortcode, BetaSuite receives the payment notification via the Daraja API C2B callback and automatically matches it to the open invoice using the account reference. This eliminates the manual process of cross-checking M-Pesa statements against invoices — one of the most time-consuming tasks in Kenyan business accounting.

Automated M-Pesa Reconciliation

Every M-Pesa transaction received from Safaricom — whether STK Push, C2B Paybill or Buy Goods — is automatically recorded, matched to the corresponding invoice and posted to the accounting ledger. At month end, your M-Pesa account reconciliation is complete without any manual work. Unmatched payments — where customers paid but did not include the correct reference — are highlighted for manual resolution so no income is missed.

M-Pesa Float Account Management

Track your M-Pesa float balance as a separate bank account in BetaSuite. Incoming customer payments increase the float; B2B transfers and withdrawals to your bank reduce it. BetaSuite reconciles your M-Pesa statement — which you download from the Safaricom portal — against the recorded transactions in the system, giving you a clean, auditable M-Pesa cash position at all times.

Real-Time Payment Notifications

Receive instant in-system notifications when an M-Pesa payment arrives. The cashier, receptionist or accounts officer sees the payment confirmed on their screen in real time — no need to check a separate phone or log into Safaricom's portal. Payment notifications include the customer phone number, amount, timestamp and transaction ID — all the information needed to post and reconcile immediately.

M-Pesa Transaction Reporting

View M-Pesa transaction history by date, amount range, customer, branch or payment type (STK Push, C2B, B2B). Export M-Pesa reports to Excel for VAT filing, bank reconciliation or audit evidence. Daily M-Pesa summaries show total received, total withdrawn and closing float balance — the key figures your accountant needs for month-end without hunting through Safaricom SMS alerts.

Multi-Payment Method Support

BetaSuite handles M-Pesa alongside cash, credit cards, bank transfers, cheques and credit account settlements — all in a unified receipting system. Split payments across methods are supported — for example, a customer paying part in M-Pesa and the balance in cash. All payment types produce KRA eTIMS compliant receipts and update the same accounts receivable ledger with zero manual intervention.

Daraja API Security & Compliance

BetaSuite's M-Pesa integration uses Safaricom's official Daraja API with OAuth 2.0 authentication, IP whitelisting and encrypted callbacks. Every API request and response is logged for audit purposes. BetaSuite is tested against Safaricom's Daraja sandbox before going live — ensuring a reliable integration that handles timeouts, duplicate callbacks and network errors gracefully without creating phantom payments or missed receipts.

How M-Pesa Integration Works in BetaSuite

Configure once — all M-Pesa flows work automatically from that moment

1

Configure Your M-Pesa Shortcode

Enter your Paybill or Buy Goods shortcode, Daraja API credentials and callback URLs in BetaSuite's M-Pesa settings. Our setup team assists with Safaricom's API activation and whitelist configuration. The entire setup takes under an hour for a new integration.

2

Accept Customer Payments

At the point of sale or on an invoice, trigger an STK Push to the customer's phone. Alternatively, the customer pays via your Paybill or Till using the invoice number as the reference. BetaSuite receives confirmation automatically within seconds of the customer approving.

3

Payments Post Automatically

Confirmed M-Pesa payments are matched to the open invoice, the invoice is marked paid, the customer's account is updated and the general ledger entry is created — all in the same instant, with no manual posting required from your accounts team.

4

Reconcile at Month End

Download your Safaricom M-Pesa statement and import it into BetaSuite for reconciliation. The system matches statement transactions to ledger records automatically and highlights any unmatched items for review. Your M-Pesa account is reconciled in minutes, not days.

Frequently Asked Questions

BetaSuite supports all major M-Pesa business payment types via Safaricom Daraja API: STK Push (Lipa Na M-Pesa online — where you prompt the customer to pay), C2B Paybill (customer pays to your business Paybill number), C2B Buy Goods (customer pays to your Till Number) and B2B transfers between business shortcodes. The specific types available depend on your Safaricom business account configuration.

Every M-Pesa payment received via Daraja API is automatically recorded in BetaSuite and matched against open invoices using the account reference provided by the customer. At month end, you download your M-Pesa statement from the Safaricom portal and import it into BetaSuite. The system matches statement lines to recorded transactions automatically. Unmatched items — where the reference was wrong or missing — are highlighted for manual investigation so no income is lost.

BetaSuite handles API timeouts and temporary Safaricom outages gracefully. If a payment confirmation is delayed, the system retries the status check automatically at configurable intervals. If connectivity fails during an STK Push, the transaction is marked as pending and checked again when connectivity resumes. Duplicate payment callbacks — which Safaricom occasionally sends — are detected and ignored using idempotency checks, preventing phantom credits on customer accounts.

Yes. BetaSuite supports multiple M-Pesa shortcodes for businesses with different paybill numbers per branch or department. Payments received on each shortcode are posted to the corresponding branch or cost centre automatically. Consolidated M-Pesa reports show total received across all shortcodes as well as breakdowns per shortcode — useful for businesses that use separate shortcodes for different product lines or customer segments.

Yes. M-Pesa transactions are fully visible in the accounting module as bank transactions on the M-Pesa float account. Finance can see every payment received, match it to the corresponding invoice and reconcile the float account balance against the Safaricom statement. M-Pesa income is included in daily sales reports, VAT calculations and all financial statements — treated exactly the same as any other payment method for accounting purposes.

Yes. From an outstanding invoice in BetaSuite, you can trigger an M-Pesa payment reminder to the customer via WhatsApp or SMS that includes the amount due, due date and your Paybill or Till Number as a reference. BetaCom automated payment reminder campaigns can be configured to send reminders at defined intervals for all overdue invoices — running automatically without daily manual intervention from your accounts team.

Yes. When an M-Pesa payment is confirmed for an invoice in BetaSuite, a KRA eTIMS fiscal receipt is generated and submitted to Kenya Revenue Authority automatically. The receipt can be printed on a thermal printer or sent to the customer via WhatsApp. This ensures that all M-Pesa transactions, which are often the dominant payment method for Kenyan SMEs, are fully documented for KRA compliance purposes.
