WooCommerce M-PESA STK Integration: Using Buy Goods Till No.

Many Kenyan business owners believe that integrating M-PESA STK Push into their WooCommerce stores is only possible with a PayBill No. However, this is a widespread misconception. In reality, you can definitely enable M-PESA STK Push using your existing Buy Goods Till No, opening up powerful online payment capabilities for small and medium-sized enterprises across Kenya.

Clearing the Misconception: It’s Absolutely Possible!

Contrary to popular belief, integrating M-PESA STK Push with a Buy Goods Till No works seamlessly. STK Push allows your customers to receive an immediate payment prompt on their mobile phones, simplifying the checkout process and significantly reducing cart abandonment.

Requirements for Using a Till Number with STK Push

To successfully enable STK Push using your Buy Goods Till No, here’s what you’ll need:

  • Registered Business Name or Limited Company: Your Till No. should be officially registered under your business’s legal name.
  • Business Bank Account: The funds from your Till Number should automatically terminate in a verified business bank account.
  • M-PESA Business Portal Access: A valid username from the M-PESA Business Portal is required to apply and authenticate your business via Safaricom’s Daraja API platform.

These credentials ensure smooth integration with the Daraja API, which powers the STK Push functionality.

Why Most SMEs Prefer Till Numbers

Small businesses, startups, and growing enterprises frequently opt for Buy Goods Till No. due to the ease of setup, and quicker onboarding process compared to PayBill No. Fortunately, choosing a Till No does not exclude you from enjoying innovative online payment solutions like STK Push.

Local Kenyan Small Business Use Cases

Whether you operate in Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu, Thika, or Nakuru, here’s how integrating STK Push can help your business:

  • Nairobi: A boutique clothing store in Westlands can seamlessly process online fashion orders directly via customers’ mobile phones at checkout.
