In order to configure an app for payments the following details need to be specified in your support request:

  1. The Helium server where the app is located
  2. The unique identifier (UUID) of your app
  3. The M-Pesa account number also known as the shortcode
  4. All objects that are involved in payments. In other words the objects that represent entities making payments and receiving payments in the app. In the example shown in Lesson 12 of the tutorial, the objects are Farmer and Shop. For each object the following should also be specified:
    • The field on the object that is to be used as an M-Pesa identifier
    • The type of M-Pesa identifier that is represented by the field mentioned above. This can be, for example, MSISDN (such as a mobile number) or a till number.
