icrackthecode commented 8 years ago

Yeah. However it not a requirement.

kn9ts commented 8 years ago

This is new info to me. Do they limit the transactions limits? Or it is not required for a experimental/test environment?

icrackthecode commented 8 years ago

Minimum amount is 10 KES. Limit remains the same as MPESA's limit on daily transactions(which i guess is 70,00 KES per transaction and only two are allowed last i checked). Unfortunately, mpesa don't have a sandbox environment the only way to test is by making a minimum transaction o 10 KES. However since the pay bill used in this API is registered to safaricom as a testing pay bill. Upon request, they can easily revert the transaction for you.

Ok. Understood. Thank you.
