M-Pesa for business

How do I connect my M-Pesa till to my POS?

Updated July 2026

Short answer

You link the till inside the POS setup so that payments and sales meet automatically: the POS sends a payment prompt to the customer phone for the exact amount, the customer enters their M-Pesa PIN, and the confirmation records against that sale. On Veira this is part of guided onboarding, so the till is connected before your first day of trading.

More detail

What connection buys you is verification. Without it, staff read confirmation messages or customer screenshots, which is where fake payment fraud lives. With the till linked, the system itself confirms the money arrived, per sale, and your day reconciles as you trade.

To set it up on Veira: have your Buy Goods till details ready during onboarding, and the team wires it in with you and tests a live payment. From then on every M-Pesa sale is prompted on the customer phone, confirmed automatically and tied to its eTIMS invoice.

Related questions

Does connecting the till cost extra?
On Veira, no. M-Pesa integration and onboarding are included in every plan. Confirm with other providers whether integration is an add-on.
What if the customer has no smartphone?
The prompt works on any phone that runs M-Pesa, including basic phones: the PIN request appears as a standard M-Pesa screen. Cash and card remain available on the same sale if M-Pesa fails.
Can I connect more than one till?
Multi-branch businesses usually run a till per branch. Veira supports per-branch setup so each shop reconciles its own payments while the owner sees all branches in one view.

Veira gives Kenyan shops one calm app for selling, M-Pesa, KRA eTIMS and stock, with a free terminal. Book a demo and see it set up for your trade.
