I want to add a farmer number in the farmers details so that we could have a back up phone number in case the first

one has reached it's Mpesa payment limit. But the problem is, this added number is not recognised. Even if I try to search

for that particular person by using the added number, the farmer will not be found and when I try to make a payment using

the added number, I am told "the farmer number is not found please register the farmer". 


When I view this particular farmers details, the additional phone number is available in this farmer details dashboard. 


The next of keen number is not used for payments, it's only used for notifications that is authorised just in case

the farmer is not able to access their number.


Also the next of keen number is used for reaching out to the farmer in case his or her number is off. 





Mpesa Payments FAQ's


Question

Answer

1.

If paid using MPESA, between the company and the farmer who will be charged the withdrawal charges? 

The farmer will be charged the standard MPESA withdrawal charges. 

2.

How long will the payment take from the point of delivery at the buying center through the MPESA platform? 

Payment will happen between 0 – 10 minutes after transaction. In case you don’t receive payment in that time, call or go to the buyer who bought your crops.
3.

Can a farmer use a non Vodacom line? 

No, the service is only available for Vodacom customers 

4.

In case there is a system delay, or poor network, what is the escalation process for the farmer? 

In case the farmer does not receive any communication or MPESA payment, call the buyer/Milk Grader who bought your crop. The buyer will then follow up with the relevant office on the cause of the delay. 

5.

What if I have not received any SMS communication, e-receipt or MPESA payment in my phone? 

If a farmer does not receive any message, first confirm that there is mobile network at the location they are in. If there is no network, should they move to a network area they will receive the messages. In the event that there is network and they have not received any message, they should check their message inbox to see if it is full with messages. If this is the case, the farmer can delete a few of the messages to create space in the inbox. Once this is done the farmer will receive the messages. However, if this is not the case, the farmer needs to confirm the details, including mobile number provided.

The Receipts dates are wrong on Helium (either future dated or past dated

 This is not applications date nor it is server date, receipt date is coming from user's mobile settings. The user (Eg. Hanna Wairimu) had 2018-05-10 on 2018-04-10, this why we implemented Server Sync Date for any calculations other actions in system. So this is not a problem but it was just user settings which se eventually fixed it by looking at screenshot bellow
