Enterprise Daraja 3.0
M-Pesa Systems Architecture.
High-throughput financial rails built for Kenya's leading e-commerce platforms, SACCOs, and digital lenders. Zero failed callbacks, automated reconciliation, and 99.99% uptime SLA.
Mission-Critical Payment Infrastructure
Engineered from the ground up to prevent dropped orders, transaction mismatches, and reconciliation bottlenecks.
Sub-Second STK Push
Triggers customer SIM popups with pre-filled billing references in under 500ms. Supports automatic query retry if customer PIN entry is delayed.
Automated C2B Reconciliation
Real-time validation and confirmation handlers for Paybill and Till numbers. Auto-credits user wallets and updates order status instantaneously.
B2C Bulk Disbursements
Automated payout engines for salary distribution, vendor settlements, and affiliate commissions with queue-based transaction throttling.
Encrypted Security & Audit
HMAC-SHA256 signature validation on every webhook, IP whitelisting against Safaricom gateway CIDR blocks, and full tamper-proof audit logs.
Clean, Production-Ready Code
Drop-in SDKs and idiomatic templates for your language of choice.
import { DarajaClient } from "@nethub/daraja-sdk";
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const daraja = new DarajaClient({
consumerKey: process.env.DARAJA_CONSUMER_KEY!,
consumerSecret: process.env.DARAJA_CONSUMER_SECRET!,
passkey: process.env.DARAJA_PASSKEY!,
shortCode: process.env.DARAJA_SHORTCODE!,
environment: "production",
});
const { phone, amount, reference } = await request.json();
// Trigger Sub-Second STK Push
const response = await daraja.stkPush({
phoneNumber: phone,
amount,
accountReference: reference,
transactionDesc: "Enterprise Order Checkout",
callbackUrl: "https://api.nethub.co.ke/v1/payments/callback",
});
return Response.json({
status: "PENDING_CUSTOMER_PIN",
checkoutRequestId: response.CheckoutRequestID,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
});
