End-to-end recipe for collecting payments that customers start themselves on a Paybill or Till (C2B), and matching them to accounts. Covers registering confirmation and validation URLs, account-number matching, orphan payments, Pull Transactions for missed callbacks, and the daily reconciliation report. Use when customers pay via the M-Pesa menu to a Paybill/Till and the business needs those payments matched to invoices, tenants, students or customer accounts.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Recipe: Paybill collections and reconciliation

Customers pay from their own phone (Lipa na M-Pesa → Paybill → account number). Your job is to catch every payment and match it to the right account, even when the account number is wrong.

## Needs

| Need | Default |
|---|---|
| Paybill or Till number | from the configuration |
| What the account number means | invoice or customer number |
| Confirmation URL (and validation, if you must reject payments) | your HTTPS domain; validation off |
| Where unmatched payments go | a "suspense" list a person reviews daily |

## Work these out before asking

- The account model: what customers would type as the account number (invoice number, house number, admission number)?
- Whether URLs are already registered. In production this is effectively one-time, so check before re-registering.
- `DARAJA_SHORTCODE` and the environment.

Ask at most three questions: what the account number is, whether payments ever need rejecting, and who reviews the suspense list.

## Build

1. **Register URLs** (`daraja-c2b`).
   - Confirmation and validation URLs **must not contain** "mpesa", "safaricom" or similar words. Use e.g. `/payments/confirm/<token>`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mr-macharia/mpesa-daraja-skills-and-mcp/daraja-paybill-collections@sha256:1fb987b91c00a59c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.d560781, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
