cars starting from a rate of Ksh. 600,000 should not use this method as it may be inconvenient

Lipa na M-Pesa has simplified business transactions by allowing direct payments without additional costs for customers, increasing convenience and speed. It has encouraged businesses to adapt mobile payment solutions, reducing reliance on cash and improving transaction tracking .
The customer should immediately call customer care at 100 or 234 (200 for post-pay). The business owner can assist by dialing 2134 from their till SIM card. Safaricom contacts the wrong recipient to request a reversal, ensuring the customer receives a full refund without additional costs .
Businesses should ensure that the till number is clearly displayed and verified by the customer at the point of sale. They should also train staff to assist customers with transaction processes and urge them to double-check transaction details before confirmation .
Using a paybill number is advantageous for businesses with ongoing relationships with customers, such as utility companies, where an account number identifies each customer transaction. It suits scenarios requiring remote or online payments where the cost is justified to the client .
An M-Pesa till statement provides a record of business transactions. If needed for legal proceedings, you must visit a Safaricom retail shop to request it formally. The shop provides a form for submitting details and identity, processing the request within five business days .
The 'Buy Goods and Services' option is designed for immediate, face-to-face purchases where no prior relationship between buyer and seller exists; hence, no account number is needed. In contrast, the 'Paybill' option is for transactions at institutions where a customer has an existing relationship with the business, identified by an account number .
To pay using an M-Pesa till number, the customer should select 'Lipa na M-Pesa' on their M-Pesa menu, choose 'Buy Goods and Services,' and enter the till number. They must enter the payment amount and their M-Pesa PIN, then confirm the transaction by checking the merchant name for accuracy .
To activate an M-Pesa till number for a business, you need business registration documents or permits, a KRA PIN, and national identity cards for all business partners. You should also have an M-Shwari registered Safaricom mobile number. To enroll, visit any authorized M-Pesa agent or Safaricom shop .
With a till number, the merchant bears the transaction costs, so customers do not incur any additional charges. In contrast, when using a paybill number, clients are charged transaction fees .
Businesses can handle bulk payments using M-Pesa's Business to Consumer (B2C) service, which allows transfers directly to customers' mobile phones. Businesses must use the B2C shortcode or conduct an RTGS transfer to their M-Pesa corporate account at partner banks, ensuring the B2C shortcode is quoted for processing .
