Enter your daily M-Pesa payments to see the time cost.
Assumes 1.5 minutes to match one payment, 26 working days a month, and KES 500/hour for staff time. Indicative estimate, not advice.
Matching M-Pesa by hand costs more than time.
Hours every evening
Someone scrolls the M-Pesa statement line by line against the till slips — after the shop has closed.
Fake messages
A customer shows a fake M-Pesa confirmation, the goods leave, and you only find out at closing.
Gaps nobody can explain
Two payments of the same amount, one sale missing, and no way to tell which is which.
Matched at the till, not at midnight.
- 01
The bill goes to the phone
The cashier sends the bill and the customer gets an M-Pesa prompt for the exact amount.
- 02
Safaricom confirms it
The customer enters their PIN. Safaricom confirms the payment straight to Maamul — not a screenshot or an SMS.
- 03
Attached to the sale
The payment is joined to that sale, in that branch. When you close, the day is already matched.
Every payment stays in your history with its sale, so your M-Pesa, your sales and your eTIMS invoices line up when your tax agent or KRA asks.
M-Pesa, answered plainly.
Does Maamul charge extra for M-Pesa?+
No. M-Pesa collection is part of every plan at no extra Maamul fee. Safaricom’s normal M-Pesa charges still apply.
Does it work across branches?+
Yes. Each payment is recorded against the branch and the sale it belongs to, and you see every branch on one screen.
What about cash and card?+
The till takes cash, card and M-Pesa, including split payments, so the day’s totals cover every way your customers pay.
Which mobile wallets work?+
M-Pesa, plus EVC Plus, WAAFI and other mobile wallets in the region.
What if the internet drops?+
The till keeps selling offline and catches up when the connection is back.
