Own PayBill/Till
No 5% collection fee
No 5% collection fee
Customer payments land directly in your shortcode. Monthly subscription still applies.
Example: Pawa collects
If customers buy KES 10,000 net WiFi sales through Pawa, the collection fee is KES 500 plus the monthly subscription.
Example: own PayBill
If you use your own shortcode, you pay the Starter or Silver monthly subscription only. There is no 5% collection fee.
Payment Collection
Two clear ways to collect customer payments.
Pawa Collects
Best when you want Pawa to handle customer payment collection.
- Customer STK payments use the Pawa platform gateway.
- Pawa charges 5% of net sales collected through the platform.
- The Starter or Silver monthly subscription still applies.
- No Daraja setup is needed before first launch.
- Collections and payout records stay visible in the dashboard.
Use Your Own PayBill
Best when payments should land directly in your shortcode.
- Add your own PayBill/Till Daraja credentials during onboarding.
- Pawa runs the portal, access rules, payment checks, and router workflows.
- The system invoices the monthly subscription based on the selected plan or month-end user count.
- No 5% collection fee is added because payments do not pass through the Pawa gateway.
Monthly Plans
The subscription applies to every collection path.
Use your own Till/PayBill for monthly subscription only, or let Pawa collect payments and add 5% of net WiFi sales.
