Integrations / Safaricom M-Pesa Daraja
M-Pesa integration for ERPNext, reconciled to the ledger
STK Push at the till, C2B collections that reconcile themselves to Payment Entries, and B2C payouts, all posting to the real ledger instead of a side spreadsheet.
Why this matters now
Mobile money is the dominant payment rail in East African B2C, but most businesses reconcile M-Pesa statements to their books by hand at month end. Unmatched collections become revenue leakage and audit findings.
What the integration covers
Customer-initiated payment prompts from POS and invoices, with the confirmation callback matched to the sale automatically.
Paybill and till collections post as Payment Entries against the right customer and invoice. The Kimzone Autospares implementation reconciles M-Pesa C2B automatically across 35,000+ SKUs of trade.
Refunds, farmer settlements and supplier payouts initiated from ERPNext with approval workflows and full audit trail.
Stanbic bank transfer integration alongside Daraja, so mobile money and bank rails live in one payments layer.
Every movement is a real Payment Entry or Journal Entry. Reconciliation reports show unmatched items daily, not at month end.

Production cutover with daily reconciliation reports comparing M-Pesa statements to ledger entries from day one.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work outside Kenya?
M-Pesa Daraja covers Safaricom markets, and the same payments layer supports other rails per country: MTN MoMo and Airtel Money integrations follow the same ledger-first pattern. We scope the right rail per market during discovery.
How are duplicate or orphan payments handled?
Callbacks are idempotent, and collections that cannot be matched to an invoice or customer land in a suspense workflow for review instead of disappearing. Daily reconciliation reports surface unmatched items immediately.
Is this in production today?
Yes. Kimzone Autospares runs M-Pesa C2B auto-reconciliation live, and Toysam Distributors runs the integrated POS stack. Both case studies are published with the operational details.
