Accept international guest payments as easily as tips.
Guests scan a QR code or open a payment link, pay with the card or wallet they already use, and you receive settlement in local currency—through M-PESA or your bank account.

Guest checkout
Step 1
Guest opens your link
Share a QR code or payment link. The guest opens it on their phone—no app download required.
How it works
Guest pays internationally. You get paid locally.
No foreign acquiring relationships. No juggling multiple payment providers. One simple path from guest checkout to local settlement.
Share a QR or payment link
Your guest scans or taps. They enter the amount due—no POS hardware or foreign payment provider to manage.
Guest pays how they prefer
Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other supported wallets. Familiar checkout, fewer abandoned payments.
You settle in local currency
Skip complicated international settlement. Funds land in your M-PESA or bank account, ready to use.
