Do you want to send to Mpesa WooCommerce payment ? If you do I have a quick FREE solution for your customers to send money to Mpesa for all the orders. You can easily add this solution to your WooCommerce store without any coding just a few clicks to add your payment number and the name for the customers to confirm and you are done. The nest part is that the plugin is free 100%.
This can also be a perfect solution for PayBill and Till number users as a backup plan when the API fails. APIs always fail so in that case the fall back plan can be to send the money for the order and this can ensure you do not lose any sale.
Why Send to Mpesa WooCommerce Payment ?
If you have a WooCommerce store and you would like to add Mpesa payment gateway, you need to have a business shortcode ( Mpesa Paybill or Mpesa Till Number ) to begin accepting the payment from your online customers.
If you don’t have either Mpesa Paybill or Mpesa Till number, you can still receive the payment using the ordinary send money to your number way.
No Mpesa Paybill or Mpesa Till Number
Most of my WooCommerce Mpesa customers lack the Paybill or the Till number and they want to have an immediate solution that works for them to received payments online.
If you are having the same problem, you should not worry, since I created a free solution for you that you can install in your WooCommerce store and start receiving payments via Mpesa for all the orders.
Send to Mpesa WooCommerce Payment Plugin
WooCommerce users who want to receive payment via Mpesa and do not have the PayBill or Till number should consider installing thos plugin since it has the options to send Money to Mpesa from customers.
This plugin is designed to allow shop owners to receive payment from customers who want to send the payment to the business or personal phone number instead of a till number or pay bill number.
The checkout provides the three important fields (customer name, customer mobile number and the Mpesa transaction code ) for confirmation of the payment.
The following are the screenshots to guide you on the features of the plugin and how to set it up :
Important Note: This plugin does not have the API verification capabilities at this time the Mpesa Daraja API does not support the ability to read data from Customer to Customer (C2C) though this is a future possibility.
I will also evaluate the need to add the Lipa na Mpesa or PayBill options if more users make requests for these options.
