Verified Merchants Secure M-PESA Payments Instant Receipts GPS + QR Backup

A better way to pay in Kenya

Stop memorising Till numbers and PayBills. DetectPay makes payments as simple as walking up to a merchant.

❌ The old way
🗣️ Ask the cashier for their Till number or PayBill
⌨️ Type the PayBill or Till number manually
📱 Type a phone number for personal payments
🔢 Enter an account reference and hope it's right
🧾 Show your M-PESA message to the cashier as proof of payment
VS
✅ With DetectPay
📍 Open app — nearby merchants appear instantly
✓ See merchant photos, storefront, ratings, and verified badge — pay faces not numbers
💳 Pay via M-PESA STK push in seconds
🔢 Account reference set for you — or type one if the merchant allows it
📲 Instant digital receipt — share or download it anytime
📷 Scan the merchant's QR code — available as an alternative to GPS
