End-to-end recipe for subscriptions and recurring charges with M-Pesa Ratiba standing orders, with Bill Manager invoices or STK reminders as fallbacks. Covers customer consent, schedule and amount rules, tracking each collection, failed-charge handling and dunning, and cancelling. Use when someone wants monthly subscriptions, rent, school fees, loan repayments or any repeat payment collected automatically from M-Pesa customers.
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: recurring billing Ratiba lets a customer approve a standing order once with their PIN; M-Pesa then pays you on the schedule. Each collection still needs confirming and recording. ## Needs | Need | Default | |---|---| | Plan: amount, frequency, start and end | monthly (`frequency 4`), 12 months | | Paybill or Till | Paybill | | Ratiba access on the shortcode | ask Safaricom; test in the sandbox first | | What happens when a charge fails | remind by SMS/STK, then pause the subscription after 3 days | ## Work these out before asking - The subscription model in the codebase (plans, renewals, `next_billing_date`). - Whether Ratiba is enabled. If not, the fallback is a scheduled STK Push each cycle (customer enters a PIN each time) or Bill Manager invoices (`daraja-bill-manager`). Ask at most three questions: the plan's amount and frequency, what to do on failure, and whether to fall back to STK Push. ## Build 1. **Subscription table.** One row per customer and plan, with the standing order name (unique per phone, which Ratiba enforces), state (pending_consent → active → past_due → cancelled) and next due date. 2. **Create the standing order** (`daraja-ratiba`): …

How to install
mdr add mr-macharia/mpesa-daraja-skills-and-mcp/daraja-recurring-billing@sha256:d33dd2262ac5ac0dThe 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.
