Let guests pay by M-Pesa STK push straight to your till. Funds land with you in seconds — Short Stays Kenya never holds your money.
Cards and foreign checkout flows don't fit how Kenyan guests pay — M-Pesa does. If a guest can confirm a booking with an STK prompt on their phone, they book; if they have to hunt for a card, they hesitate.
Short Stays Kenya wires bookings to M-Pesa via Daraja, with the money going directly to your till — never through us.
The guest enters their M-Pesa number, confirms the prompt, and it's done — no USSD codes.
Payment confirmed and receipt sent in under a minute; you're notified immediately.
Funds go to your own Daraja paybill or till — Short Stays Kenya never holds your money.
Guests can pay instantly or reserve and settle with you later — your choice of policy.
You configure your own Daraja consumer key and secret — you stay in control of your merchant account.
