🛠️ Technical FAQs

Q: Does this plugin support STK Push (PIN prompt)? A: Yes! It is built specifically for K2 Connect, which triggers the automatic M-Pesa PIN prompt on the customer’s phone immediately after they click “Place Order.”

Q: What happens if the customer closes their browser after paying? A: No problem. The plugin uses Webhooks. As long as the customer enters their PIN on their phone, Kopo Kopo will notify your website in the background, and the order status will update automatically.

Q: Can I use this with a standard Safaricom Till Number? A: To use the Kopo Kopo API, you must have an active Kopo Kopo account. You will use the Till Number, among other details assigned to you by Kopo Kopo within their platform.

Q: Why isn’t the STK Push appearing on my phone? A: Ensure your Environment (Sandbox/Live) matches your credentials. Also, verify that your Kopo Kopo account has “Online Payments” activated. If testing in Sandbox, ensure the phone number is whitelisted in your Kopo Kopo dashboard.

Q: Does it support other currencies like USD? A: The plugin is optimized for the Kenyan market. As such, we expect that your store uses KES. This is required to ensure 100% transaction success rates.
