An integration of the Vodacom M-pesa payments API ## 🐘 Vodacom M-Pesa API Integration Demo This repository provides a comprehensive demonstration of integrating with the Vodacom M-Pesa API, covering the crucial security and transaction stages required to successfully execute payments. ## ✨ Key Features This project focuses on the core steps necessary for a successful M-Pesa integration: 🔒 1. Application Key Encryption The initial step in securing your transactions is encrypting your application key. - Encryption Stage: Demonstrates the logic for encrypting your Application Key using the publicly available Base64 public key string provided on the Vodacom M-Pesa developer portal. - Security Focus: This crucial step ensures that your sensitive Application Key is protected before being sent to the M-Pesa service. 🔑 2. Get Session Key Implementation Once the Application Key is secured, you can request a valid session key to authorize subsequent transactions. - Session Key Retrieval: Includes the full implementation of the getSessionKey request. - Authentication: Shows how to use your encrypted Application Key to obtain a temporary Session Key, which is required for all transaction requests. 💰 3. C2B (Customer to Business) Transaction Demo The heart of the payment system—demonstrating how to initiate a transaction. - C2B Transaction: Contains the full implementation of a Customer to Business (C2B) transaction request. - Transaction Flow: Clearly shows how to use the retrieved Session Key to authorize and execute a mobile money payment.
