Paying by M-Pesa

Paying from outside Kenya? Mobile money is a Kenya-only option. See payment methods for Visa, Mastercard and bank transfer.

Mobile money in Kenya

Kenyan businesses can pay for HabariChat entirely by mobile money. M-Pesa, Airtel Money and MTN Mobile Money all work, and none of them require you to hold a card.

That matters more than it sounds. For a lot of businesses here, needing an international card is the difference between being able to buy software and not, which is why mobile money is a first-class payment method rather than something bolted on at the end.

Add or update your payment method in Settings → Payments. See payment method & invoices for the steps.

Cards work too

If you would rather pay by card, Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards are accepted through our payment partner Paystack, including cards issued by Kenyan banks. Mobile money and card are equally supported, so pick whichever suits how you keep your books.

Enterprise accounts can also be invoiced and settled by bank transfer, arranged with the team at [email protected].

What you pay in shillings

Prices are shown to you in Kenyan shillings, with the dollar figure alongside, so there is no conversion to work out before you commit.
