Connecting your Paybill or till

Link your group's M-PESA Paybill or Buy Goods till so payments record themselves.

Payments record themselves when ChamaBook receives M-PESA's confirmation for your group's Paybill or till. You need:

• A Paybill or Buy Goods till in your group's name from Safaricom.
• An app on Safaricom's Daraja developer portal for that shortcode, which gives you a consumer key and secret.
• The Lipa na M-PESA passkey, if you want to send payment prompts from the app.

Connecting

1. Open Settings → M-PESA & Airtel and choose Add channel.
2. Enter the shortcode, the name members will see, and the Daraja keys.
3. Save, then choose Register URLs so Safaricom sends confirmations to ChamaBook.
4. Make a small test payment and check it appears under M-PESA.

To pay members by M-PESA, turn on payouts for the channel and enter the B2C details from the Daraja portal. We help with all of this during set-up.
