Why Daraja integrations break in production

Callbacks break silently

Don't count on retries. Miss a callback and payments look failed when they succeeded.

Error codes are cryptic

"resultCode: 1037" tells you nothing. The kit includes a reference table with actual fixes.

Go-live is a maze

App approval, shortcode vs till, B2C whitelisting, HTTPS requirements — the playbook covers it all.

import { DarajaClient } from '@daraja-kit/core';

const client = new DarajaClient({
  environment: 'production',
  consumerKey: process.env.DARAJA_CONSUMER_KEY,
  consumerSecret: process.env.DARAJA_CONSUMER_SECRET,
  passkey: process.env.DARAJA_PASSKEY,
  shortCode: '174379',
  callbackUrl: 'https://yourapp.com/api/callback',
});

const result = await client.stkPush({
  phoneNumber: '254712345678',
  amount: 1000,

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my own Daraja credentials?

Yes. You need a Safaricom Daraja developer account (free). The kit uses YOUR credentials and connects directly to Safaricom — no middleman, no monthly fees.

Is this a library or full source code?

Full source code. You get repo access after purchase. Modify, extend, or integrate it into your app however you want. Commercial license included.

Can I use this in production?

Yes. Pro and Team licenses allow commercial use. Ship it in your SaaS, client projects, or internal tools. Personal license is for non-commercial use only.

Can I try before buying?

The AI documentation (llms.txt) is publicly available to review what's included. All sales are final and non-refundable.

Do I get updates?

Yes. All future updates to the kit are included. No separate fee for new features or Daraja API changes.

Can I use this with other frameworks (Express, Fastify, etc.)?

Yes. The core SDK is framework-agnostic. The Next.js app is just an example. Use the SDK with Express, Fastify, Hono, or any Node.js framework.
