Hi HN, I built this because I got tired of fighting with Safaricom's Daraja API.

If you've ever tried to accept M-Pesa payments in East Africa, you know the pain: XML callbacks, rotating OAuth tokens, undocumented error codes, etc.

M-Pesa processes over $300B annually. It's how 50+ million people in Kenya pay for everything from groceries to rent. But integrating it into your app? That's a different story. Most developers spend weeks on what should take hours.

Micropay is essentially what Stripe did for credit cards, but for mobile money.
