Collecting payments via WhatsApp is the fastest way to get paid in Kenya. No invoicing software, no payment portal — just a link in the chat that customers tap to pay.
How WhatsApp Payment Links Work
App-ening generates a secure payment link for any amount. Send it in a WhatsApp conversation. The customer taps the link, enters payment details, and pays. You receive an instant notification. The entire process takes under 60 seconds.
Supported Payment Methods
Accept M-Pesa, card, bank transfer. Payment links work on any device without app installs. Customers pay using their preferred method — no friction, no drop-off.
Use Cases for Payment Collection
Deposits before appointments. Invoices for completed services. Subscription renewals. Event ticket sales. Course and class fees. E-commerce orders. Donation collection for nonprofits.
Automating Payment Reminders
Set up automated sequences for pending payments. Day 1: gentle reminder with payment link. Day 3: follow-up with urgency. Day 7: final reminder. Each includes the original payment link. Track payment status in real time.
Security and Compliance
All payments are processed by certified payment gateways. PCI-DSS compliant. No card details are stored by App-ening. Compliant with Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019. Automatic receipts sent after payment.
