Overview

Daraja Multiplatform is a Kotlin Multiplatform library that simplifies M-Pesa integration for cross-platform mobile applications. It provides a unified API for both Android(Kotlin) and iOS(Swift), enabling developers to build feature-rich apps with seamless M-Pesa functionalities.

M-Pesa is a mobile money transfer service developed by Vodafone and Safaricom that allows users to store and transfer money through their mobile phones.

Project Goals

Daraja Multiplatform aims to streamline the integration of M-Pesa services into Kotlin and Swift applications by providing a simplified interface to the Daraja API.

By abstracting away the complexities of the underlying API, the library significantly reduces development time and effort. Additionally, Daraja Multiplatform promotes code reusability and maintainability across different platforms, allowing developers to focus on core application features rather than low-level integration details.
