HOW TO CREATE MPESA PUGIN FOR WORDPRESS

In this blog post, we've discussed the steps to create a WordPress plugin that integrates with M-PESA, a popular mobile money service in Kenya. With this plugin, you can easily accept payments from your customers using their M-PESA accounts.

One of the key advantages of using M-PESA as a payment method is its wide adoption in Kenya. According to the Communications Authority of Kenya, as of 2019, there were over 32 million active M-PESA customers in the country. This means that by integrating M-PESA into your website, you can tap into a large market of potential customers.

Another advantage of using M-PESA is its simplicity. The process of making a payment is straightforward and can be completed within a few minutes. This is particularly beneficial for small businesses that may not have the resources to set up more complex payment systems.

However, it's important to note that while M-PESA is a popular and convenient payment method in Kenya, it may not be suitable for all types of businesses. For example, businesses that operate primarily outside of Kenya may not find it as useful. It's also worth noting that M-PESA is a mobile-based service, so it may not be accessible to customers without a mobile phone or internet connection.

In conclusion, if you're a business owner based in Kenya and looking for a simple and convenient way to accept payments from customers, integrating M-PESA into your website using a WordPress plugin can be a great option. However, it's important to consider the limitations and suitability of the service before implementation.

MPESA PUGIN FOR WORDPRESS

However, I can give you some information on how to create one.

1. First, you will need to have a basic understanding of WordPress plugin development and programming languages such as PHP and JavaScript.
   
2. Next, you will need to register as a developer on the M-PESA website and obtain your API keys.
   
3. Once you have your API keys, you can start building your plugin. You can use the M-PESA API to create payment buttons or forms on your WordPress site and handle the communication between the plugin and the M-PESA API.
   
4. Make sure to include options for the user to configure the plugin, such as setting their M-PESA phone number and business number.
   
5. Test your plugin thoroughly before publishing it on the WordPress plugin repository or your own website.
   
6. Keep in mind that M-PESA updates their API constantly so you should keep an eye on their website for any updates to the API, and adjust your plugin accordingly.
   

Please note that the above information is just a general idea on how to create a wordpress plugin for mpesa, you will have to research on the details of the mpesa API and how to integrate it with wordpress.

HOW TO CREATE MPESA PUGIN FOR WORDPRESS IN DETAIL

Sure, here are some more detailed steps on how to create a WordPress plugin that integrates with M-PESA:

1. Create a new folder in the wp-content/plugins directory of your WordPress installation, and give it a unique name (e.g. "mpesa-payment").
   
2. Inside the new folder, create a new file called mpesa-payment.php and add the plugin header information at the top of the file. This includes the plugin name, author, version, and a short description.
   
3. Next, you will need to register as a developer on the M-PESA website and obtain your API keys. These will be used to authenticate your plugin with the M-PESA API.
   
4. In your plugin file, include the M-PESA API library and use the API keys to authenticate your plugin.
   
5. Create a new form for the user to enter their M-PESA phone number and the amount they want to pay. This form should also include a button to initiate the payment process.
   
6. Use the M-PESA API to create a payment request and handle the communication between the plugin and the M-PESA API.
   
7. Once the payment is complete, you can use the M-PESA API to confirm the payment and retrieve the transaction details.
   
8. Add options to your plugin for the user to configure the plugin, such as setting their M-PESA phone number, business number and so on.
   
9. Test your plugin thoroughly before publishing it on the WordPress plugin repository or your own website.
   
10. Keep in mind that M-PESA updates their API constantly so you should keep an eye on their website for any updates to the API, and adjust your plugin accordingly.
    

Note: This is a basic idea on how to create a plugin that integrate M-PESA, you will have to research on the details of the M-PESA API and how to use it with WordPress. The M-PESA API documentation will be a good place to start.

Here is a sample code snippet for mpesa plugin for wordpress

$url = 'https://sandbox.safaricom.co.ke/mpesa/stkpush/v1/processrequest';

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json','Authorization:Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN'));

$curl_post_data = array(

  //fill in the request parameters with valid values

  'BusinessShortCode' => '123456',

  'Password' => 'password',

  'Timestamp' => '20221212121212',

  'TransactionType' => 'CustomerPayBillOnline',

  'Amount' => '1',

  'PartyA' => '254712345678',

  'PartyB' => '123456',

  'PhoneNumber' => '254712345678',

  'CallBackURL' => 'https://yourwebsite.com/callback',

  'AccountReference' => 'Invoice 1234',

  'TransactionDesc' => 'Payment for Invoice 1234'

);

$data_string = json_encode($curl_post_data);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);

$curl_response = curl_exec($curl);

print_r($curl_response);

You will need to replace the placeholder values (e.g. ACCESS_TOKEN, BusinessShortCode, etc.) with the appropriate values for your application. Also, you will have to make sure that you have the necessary libraries installed, such as cURL.

This is just a sample code and it might not work out of the box, you will have to research on the M-PESA API documentation for more details, also you will have to make sure that you are following the plugin development guidelines for wordpress and PHP.

Kenyan Online Jobs That Pay Via Mpesa | How To Make Money Online In Kenya Through Mpesa

hi guys this is your girl hilda back

again with more tips on how to make

money

online 
so today this is what we're going to

talk about

kenyan online jobs that pay via m pesa

kenyan online jobs that pay via m-pesa

we are going to look at two types of

online jobs in kenya that will pay you

through your m-pesa

account

so if you've been looking for a way to

make money for your m better this is a

video for you

also if you've been looking for a way to

make money online in kenya there's a

video for you remember these are totally

free

opportunities you'll not need any

capital to get started and again i'm

going to give you some payment proof

that i have actually received the money

i'll be talking about

so this is the first payment proof that

i'm going to give

so

on

this is 12th of this month

12th of this month that is around four

days ago i received 41 000

kenyan shillings for my mpesa account

so this money

was sent to me on

november 12th

so how did i or who sent me this money

or how did i make it so interesting

enough

initially this money was sent to my

paypal account this is it

initially this money was sent to my

paypal account by a company known as

profit anywhere is approved here

and

it's very possible to get paid via

paypal but receive the money

to your m-pesa account

and the app that makes that possible is

this paypal mobile money service so if

you go to google and just search paypal

let me just zoom this

it's called paypal mobile money service

if you just go to google and search that

uh this

this company is the one that

makes it possible for you to move money

from your paypal account

to your m-person account something

interesting about this app is that you

get your money within minutes

okay so if you want to withdraw any

money from your paypal account you just

come here with the draw from paper

so like currently i don't have any money

in my paypal account you would put the

amount here like let's put the balance

in my account right now you put there

you will say

uh

it can't continue because i don't have

any balance but you would put the amount

there continue and then you would

withdraw from your paypal

and they say

you can withdraw up to 150 kenya

shillings per transaction

so the advantage of this app is that

it makes it possible

yes you have been paid through paypal

but you can

actually receive that money to your

m-pesa account the other advantage is

that you receive this money to your own

peso account within minutes so like i

withdrew

on within within less than 10 minutes

you should receive the money to your

uh mpes account so if we look at

transaction history this is the

transaction you see

12

november 12th november which

is the same transaction here 12 november

this time friday

1 22 p.m

let's see this gives the time here

you see these are with drew on 12th

november 1 25 p.m you see so it's the

same transaction these these are with

the drill on 12th november 1 25 pm while

this

it's

12 november 1 21 pm so you see you

literally receive your money almost

immediately when you withdraw it from

this app

so

maybe you're wondering why forty one

dollars this you see forty one dollars

from the three hundred

and eighty four dollars that is because

the value of a dollar is one or eight

dollars

so

to get the how much you should receive

you should multiply this by one or eight

kenyan shillings one dollar is

equivalent to one or eight kenyan

shillings

so what i'm trying to say is that

yes don't be afraid of ways that pay you

through paper because it's very possible

to withdraw that money to your m-pesa

account using a simple app

like this one and then the thing is that

this app is totally free that is paypal

mobile money service it's totally free

you don't have to pay for it and it can

help you withdraw direct to your m-pesa

account so the next question is how did

i make this money so i made this money

through a strategy known as

affiliate marketing

and this strategy i explain it on this

video so i want you to go to my channel

that is hilda one day and then you're

going to search for this video how to

get free traffic to your affiliate links

that is free traffic for affiliate

marketing in 2021 so in this video i

explain how i promote this affiliate

product and how i make money with it and

interesting enough just this one

affiliate product has made me over five

thousand dollars

and

the thing is that i totally use free

traffic so if you want to know exactly

how i made this money through this

affiliate product i would encourage you

to go watch this video

i hope that you've seen the title let me

just zoom in

let me zoom in for you to clearly mark

the title this is it how to get free

traffic to your affiliate links so this

is the video go watch it and you will

clearly understand how

i came to settle on this affiliate

product how i build its landing pages

and the free sources of traffic i use to

convert

that landing page to sales

so before i show you the next

uh

way that i make money through m pesa in

kenya with a simple online job so on

this online job this specific online job

was affiliate marketing

and before i show you the next this is

what i want you to do

so i want you to post that video right

now

that video which you're watching i want

you to post it right now and then you're

going to scroll here and then you're

going to subscribe if you've not

subscribed kindly hit the subscribe

button and after you subscribe you'll be

presented with the option of turning on

the notification to receive

updates when i upload a new video kindly

turn on that notification too again

kindly like this video

share it

then in the description you can look

through the description and you will see

this blogging course that i share how i

make money with a blog remember blogging

is the main way i make money online so

you can get my blogging course here

which is free and then you can also get

related content and so many other things

on this description you can get

information on how to get in touch with

me and so much more

so this is a second payment proof that i

was paid through my mpesa account

and this one was sent to me on november

8th

and

i was paid by a company known as

reachable

ventures

so richable ventura sent me

2490 kenya shillings that is on 8th of

november

and

this is the company that paid me

so

eco pesa is the company that paid me and

you see

your payment

is sent through reachable ventures so

reachable ventures is the

company that manages payments for eco

vessel so the company that i was working

for which helped me make that money is

eco

pesa

so let's go to my ecopes account so that

i show the different ways i make money

with ecopesa so ecopesa is simply a free

app

this is totally a free app

uh and

all you need to get started is ata kenya

eta shillings

80

shillings

so you register with eight shillings

sorry i say that it is free but

to get started you have to pay a

registration fee of 80 shillings sorry

so

you see i have made over 13 000 with

this app

and basically the ways you make money

with this app is through referrals

so you share your referral link here and

everyone who signs up using your

referral link

remember they are paying

eight shillings so you get 40 shillings

out of that so you make money through

referrals you also make money through

spins you see these pins

you can play these pins

[Music]

[Music]

so that's the other way you can make

money through the spins like you saw i

spin but didn't get anything and you see

i have made over 190 shillings with the

spins so you can make money with the

spins

again they have competitions they open

competitions

once in a while you can make money

through the competitions you can also

make money through taking these digital

courses and you can also make money

through

writing

blog posts so those are the simple ways

to make money with ecopesa but for me

mostly i make money through referrals

and making money through referrals is

easy with this app because this app is

genuine and all i do is i do videos like

this these videos on ecopressa

and then on the description of the video

i add my affiliate link and basically

that's how i've made this money so i

don't sweat a lot going to like post my

affiliate link on facebook groups and

quora and things like those i believe it

was more vigilant to promote this app i

would make more money but for now i just

simply do videos like this and then add

the affiliate link on the description

so this is another app that has been

consistent in paying me through and pesa

and i have done several videos to show

proof that this app actually pays

so other alternatives to ecopressa

include mullah empire where you get paid

to do close to the same things like

watch videos

uh you get paid to do trivia quizzes you

get paid to do blogging you get paid to

do referrals and you get paid to do free

spin so basically just

close to the same ways

uh or now you get paid to ecopressa but

it's also a legit company that will pay

you through mpesa we also have bold

caches

so bold caches also has a very vibrant

referral program whereby

for people to get started on bold caches

they pay 1500 so out of that money will

get

some part of it from the referees so

they have this cash chat app where you

get paid to make money so it's very a

very legit company which you can use to

make money with and it also pays to do

and person

so there are so many other options of

apps that can play through and pesa in

kenya and i have done so many videos so

if you go to my channel hilda monday and

search and pesa here you'll see how to

get paid withdrew and pesa by easy cash

but i would really discourage you from

using easy cash they are not legit

anymore let me log into my easy cash

account you see

so

this video i did it nine months ago

and so

uh currently easy cash

the credibility of easy cash is not

is questionable right now

so i wouldn't encourage you to use easy

cash at all so this is my easy cash

account i was using them for a while and

they had paid me several times let me

show you that with the draw history so

they had paid me 13600

for several times but look at this

amount

this

i withdrew this amount since

this should be

september

right

since july i withdrew this money since

july and it has never been paid so

if they have never paid me that means

this company is not legit since july so

don't try it i don't think they're legit

anymore

don't try them

that is easy cash so i wouldn't

recommend this

first video again when we come to cue

cash

well personally i've never tried the q

cash i've never tried q cash

but after i did

this video after i did this video it got

so many negative comments so of people

saying how they have been scammed or

lost their money so that's also another

company i wouldn't like recommend maybe

but remember i always say that

help them to do your research before you

try something just because i recommended

it

doesn't mean i'm 100

accurate so take your time to go do your

research before you invest your money

and then again

i did this video recently and i was

exploring

three new apps three new apps that play

through m-pesa so this is a video i will

recommend you see i did this video one

month after this

this video one month ago and in all

this i'm exploring

new apps that pay you through empeza so

it's a video would encourage you to go

watch to learn those other new methods

even this

these two videos in fact these are the

two videos i would encourage you to go

watch this

and this if you watch these two videos

and you see the eyes they are done one

month ago but they have attracted

uh some viewership so go watch these two

videos and you will discover over seven

apps that will pay you through m-pesa so

that was the other second strategy that

is the use of apps

so remember

in this video we were talking about

we're talking about opinion online jobs

that favor m-pesa the first online job

which we talked about was affiliate

marketing and the second online job that

we are talking about is the use of apps

apps that will pay you through

and i've given you a variety of them

i've given you so many options and i

started by giving you proof of the one

that pays me and i gave you all these

other options

you can go go watch this video or this

for more options which will pay you to

make money through m pesa in kenya
