Launch In-app Payments Fast with The New K2 Connect V2 APIs

If you have been building with K2 Connect APIs, you already know it helps you launch faster and create more seamless payment experiences for your business and customers. Whether you are integrating payments into your point of sale system, accounting software, online shop or mobile apps, K2 Connect APIs give you the capability to build payments directly into your existing workflows. 

Now, there’s even more you can do with it.

K2 Connect V2 is packed with new and exciting features that support the way your business operates every day and help you create faster and seamless payment experiences for your business and customers. 

What’s new in K2 Connect V2

• Reversals: Initiate reversals directly from your point of sale system, without switching to the Kopo Kopo app, freeing your time to run other parts of your business.
• Payment links: Make it easy for customers who make periodic payments for your services. All you have to do is generate a payment link and share it. You will then be notified after the payment is successful. 
• Bulk payments: If you pay your employees at the end of the day and want to automate payment without leaving your payroll/POS (Point of Sale)/ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)/ system, you can now send money to multiple M-PESA phone numbers and bank accounts.
• Daraja payload switcher: Receive incoming payment responses in the formats you already know, including C2B (Customer-to-Business) and B2B (Business-to-Business) payments.
• Improved webhooks: Get real-time alerts to your back-office systems and close orders or invoices automatically.
