ཞིབ་བརྗོད།
The Pay via ProxyAPI (PVP in short) extension for WooCommerce enables you to accept payments for Safaricom’s M-Pesa payment gateway via ProxyAPI.
PVP enables one to directly integrate into MPesa using both Lipa na M-Pesa and C2B APIs. It enables you to simplify your checkout process and allow a customer to simply enter their phone number and have the Lipa na MPesa payment prompt sent immediately to their phone numbers, and the responses and callbacks automatically processed by WooCommerce.
For any assistance in your setup, please join the Support group at Telegram or drop your query in the Support Section. A response will be given asap.
DISCLAIMER
This is not an official plugin from M-Pesa, and this plugin does not have any control over the availability of M-Pesa APIs. Any issues not directly caused by or related to the plugin should be addressed to the Safaricom support group.

-
Can someone on Daraja API use this plugin?
-
No, you need to be aboard ProxyAPI to be able to use this plugin.
-
Does this plugin process M-Pesa callbacks?
-
Yes, the plugin is set up to directly receive callbacks from both Daraja and ProxyAPI and process each separately for the same transaction
-

-
No, the plugin places the transaction details directly as metadata into the order. This enables for a simpler and more convenient way to view MPesa results. But in case you need to check all transactions or get a separate list of transactions, you have access to the ProxyAPI portal where you get a list of all Pay via ProxyAPI transactions sent through it and their current status (whether they were succesful or not).

-
Yes, depending on the result received from Daraja or ProxyAPI. If a transaction returned a failed error code, the equivalent order is marked as failed too.
