Learn how to integrate M-Pesa payments into Django using Safaricom’s Daraja API and STK Push. In this step-by-step tutorial, we build a simple Django payment application called PayFlow and connect it to the M-Pesa Daraja sandbox. You’ll learn how to: * Set up a Django payment application * Connect Django to the Daraja API * Authenticate with Daraja using OAuth * Send an M-Pesa STK Push * Receive M-Pesa callbacks * Use `CheckoutRequestID` to track payments * Handle successful and failed payments * Store the M-Pesa receipt in the database * Use ngrok for local callback testing M-Pesa Payment Flow User enters phone number and amount - Django creates a pending payment - Daraja authenticates the request - Django sends an STK Push - Customer enters their M-Pesa PIN - M-Pesa processes the payment - Daraja sends a callback - Django updates the payment - Payment becomes successful or failed What We Build A simple Django + M-Pesa payment dashboard where you can make payments and track their status.

Daraja first accepts the STK Push request and gives us a `CheckoutRequestID`. The final payment result is sent later through the M-Pesa callback. This tutorial shows how Django uses that callback to update the payment as successful or failed.
