Payroll - Docs

Pay salaries to M-Pesa in one run, funded from your wallet balance. Dashboard → Payroll.

Create a run

New pay run

Click New pay run and optionally name the employer entity.

Add employees

Add rows manually or import a CSV with name, M-Pesa number, and KES amount. Up to 5,000 employees per run; each payment between KES 10 and KES 250,000.

Review and fund

The run shows the employee count and total. Fund it from your wallet balance; the rate is locked when the run is funded.

Payouts execute

Payments fan out to each M-Pesa number automatically. Track each one on the run page.

Run statuses

Status	Meaning
Draft	Being set up, nothing committed
Awaiting funds	Waiting for the wallet balance to cover the total
Funded	Paid for, queued to execute
Paying out	Payments in flight
Completed	Everyone paid
Needs attention	Some payments failed. Review and retry
Cancelled	Abandoned before funding

Individual payments move through Queued → Sending → Paying → Paid, with Failed for numbers that could not be paid.

Pricing

Payroll is free during the introductory period. Conversions use the rate locked at funding time. See pricing.

Failed payments never disappear silently: the run lands on Needs attention and the unpaid rows stay listed until resolved.
