A simple Mpesa WooCommerce payment gateway that allows customers to send the shop owner the payments on the mobile phone number. It's useful for those vendors without the Safaricom Paybill or Till Number. 

== Description ==

Most WooCommerce users who want to receive payment via Mpesa do not have the PayBill or Till number.  

This plugin is designed to allow such users to receive  payment from customers who want to send the payment to the business or personal phone number.

The checkout provides the three important fields (customer name, customer mobile number and the Mpesa transaction code ) for confirmation of the payment. 

**Note:** This plugin does not have the API verification capabilities at this time the Mpesa Daraja API does not support the ability to read data from Customer to Customer (C2C) though this is a future possibility. 
I will also evalaute the need to add the Lipa na Mpesa or PayBill options if more users make requests for these options. 

== Installation ==

Instructions on how to install the plugin and get it working:

1. Upload `send-to-mpesa-payment.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
