The Rise of Digital Payments in Kenya

M-Pesa has revolutionized commerce across East Africa. However, for e-commerce stores, supermarkets, and service providers, waiting for manual SMS notifications to confirm customer payments creates bottlenecks and opens doors to fraudulent payment screenshots.

What is Safaricom Daraja API?

The Safaricom Daraja API allows businesses to programmatically interact with M-Pesa. By implementing STK Push (Lipa Na M-Pesa Online), customers receive a payment prompt directly on their mobile phones with the exact amount already filled in.

Automated Reconciliation & Webhooks

With ApexTechX Daraja integration, payment notifications (C2B and B2B webhooks) update your inventory and sales ledger instantly. Orders are confirmed and dispatched without human intervention.

Why Choose ApexTechX for Daraja Integration

Lightning-fast STK Push responses in under 3 seconds.

Bulk B2B salary and supplier disbursements via API.
Full sandbox testing and live production deployment support.
