Production credentials connect Moflay to your live Safaricom setup. You need them before Moflay can initiate real STK push payments for your business.

​
Prerequisites

  • A valid till or paybill approved for your business
  • Access to the Safaricom Daraja portal
  • A Moflay organization with access to the production environment

​
What you need from Safaricom

Before you open the Moflay dashboard, collect:
  • Consumer key
  • Consumer secret
  • Business shortcode
  • Passkey
  • The business type for the shortcode, such as till or paybill

​
Connect the credentials

1

Open the production environment

Go to Credentials and switch from sandbox to production.
2

Enter the live Daraja values

Paste your consumer key, consumer secret, shortcode, and passkey, then choose the right business type.
3

Save the configuration

Save the credentials so Moflay can use them for production payment requests.
4

Create a production API key

Generate a mof_live_ API key for the service that will call Moflay in production.

​
Important behavior

Moflay handles the Safaricom callback side of the payment flow internally. Your own backend should consume Moflay webhooks for business events such as payment.completed and payment.failed.

​
Verify the result

Your production setup is complete when:
  • The credentials save successfully in the production environment
  • A production API key can authenticate successfully
  • You can complete a controlled live payment test

​
Troubleshooting

  • The payment request fails immediately: Recheck the consumer key, consumer secret, shortcode, passkey, and business type.
  • Sandbox works but production does not: Confirm you switched both the credentials page and your API key to production.
