This project demonstrates how to integrate the M-Pesa API into Python applications for seamless mobile payment processing. M-Pesa is a mobile money service offered by Safaricom in Kenya, allowing users to transfer money, pay bills, and more, directly from their mobile phones.
The M-Pesa API provides developers with various endpoints for initiating transactions, querying transaction status, and managing accounts. This project focuses on leveraging the M-Pesa Daraja API, which offers a straightforward and secure way to integrate M-Pesa functionality into Python applications.
