详情介绍:
AlkaPay is a complete M-Pesa payment gateway for WooCommerce that enables Kenyan merchants to accept mobile money payments from their customers through Safaricom's M-Pesa.
The free version gives you a fully functional manual M-Pesa payment gateway — your Paybill or Buy Goods (Till) number is displayed at checkout, customers pay directly from their phone, enter the M-Pesa transaction code to confirm, and you verify the payment to complete the order.
The Pro version supercharges your store with automated STK Push — the payment prompt is sent directly to the customer's phone at checkout, and the order is automatically completed the moment they enter their M-Pesa PIN. No manual steps required.

常见问题:
What does the free version do?
The free version displays your M-Pesa Paybill or Buy Goods (Till) number on the WooCommerce checkout page. Customers pay you directly via M-Pesa, then enter their transaction code on the order confirmation page. You can then verify the payment and complete the order from your WordPress admin.
What does the Pro version add?
Pro adds automated STK Push — the M-Pesa payment prompt appears directly on the customer's phone during checkout. Once they enter their PIN, the order is automatically completed without any manual intervention. Pro also includes an analytics dashboard, detailed transaction logging, and enhanced manual payment verification.
Do I need M-Pesa API credentials?
For the free version: No. You only need your Paybill or Buy Goods (Till) number. For the Pro version: Yes. You need to register on the Safaricom Daraja Developer Portal and create an app to get your Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, and Passkey for live STK Push.
Can I try STK Push before buying Pro?
Yes — try it on our live demo store at demo.alkapay.co.ke, which runs the Pro version so you can see the whole STK Push checkout without installing anything.
What payment methods are supported?
- Free: Manual payments via Paybill and Buy Goods (Till) with transaction code verification
- Pro: Automated STK Push via Paybill and Buy Goods, plus enhanced manual payment verification
Is this plugin secure?
Yes. AlkaPay follows WordPress security best practices including prepared database queries, input sanitization, output escaping, and nonce verification. API credentials are stored securely in the WordPress database.
How do I get Pro features?
Visit the M-PESA Gateway > Account page in your WordPress admin and click "Upgrade". You can also purchase a license at alkapay.co.ke.
更新日志:
1.2.6
- New: Guided first-run setup. A "Finish setting up AlkaPay" prompt on the dashboard opens a step-by-step screen that sets up M-Pesa in place — pick how you get paid, add your Paybill or Till number, choose how new orders are handled, and switch it on at checkout, without hunting through the settings. (Pro adds guided steps to connect the Daraja API and register your callback URL.)
- Fixed: On some first installs the AlkaPay welcome and licence-activation screens showed a blank left panel, with the logo, intro and feature list missing. They now display correctly.
- Fixed: Admin notices tidied up — the "SSL certificate" warning no longer appears twice, both it and the "configuration required" notice now stay dismissed once you close them, and they only show on AlkaPay's own screens instead of following you around wp-admin.
- Fixed: The "Enable M-PESA Payment Gateway" checkbox now saves reliably — on the free version, unchecking it previously did nothing. AlkaPay now ships with the gateway switched off by default (turn it on when you're ready, from the setup guide or Settings); stores that already had it on are unaffected.
- Improved: A refreshed AlkaPay sidebar icon, clearer setup-screen controls (tap-to-choose toggles and rounded buttons), and dependable admin styling after an update (no more occasional stale cached version).
- The way customers pay at checkout is unchanged.
- Improved (Pro): More reliable connection to M-Pesa for STK Push — prevents occasional "connection failed" errors seen on some hosts.
- New (Pro): If a customer mistyped their M-Pesa confirmation code, you can now correct it and re-verify in one click from the dashboard, instead of reconciling by hand.
- Maintenance: M-Pesa API request fields brought within Safaricom's documented limits.
- Improved (Pro): When a Pro licence lapses, AlkaPay now falls back cleanly to the Free experience — the same simple Payment Setup screen, no leftover credential fields or "test mode" confusion — and keeps all your settings, so re-activating a licence restores everything with nothing to reconfigure.
- The free manual-payment flow is unchanged in this release. For the changelog of earlier releases, see changelog.txt in the plugin folder.
