How each Payment Method Works

M-Pesa

Payments by M-Pesa are done via STK Push on your Savo Store account. Instead of entering payment details manually, STK Push allows our system to send a secure payment prompt directly to your Safaricom mobile phone.

Follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to Your Orders
    Log in to your Savo Store account and navigate to your orders. Click "Make a Payment" next to the order you'd like to pay for. You will be taken to the invoice page.

  2. Choose M-Pesa Payment
    On the invoice page, click "Pay by M-Pesa." You’ll be redirected to the M-Pesa payment page.

  3. Enter Your Safaricom Number
    On the payment page, input your Safaricom mobile number and click "Pay Now."

  4. Confirm on Your Phone
    You’ll receive a payment prompt on your phone. Enter your M-Pesa PIN to authorize the transaction.

Once confirmed, your payment is instantly updated on the invoice in your Savo Store account.

M-Pesa payments can only be made in KES.

Credit/Debit card payments

  • Card payments are made directly through your Savo Store account.

  • If the transaction is successful, the payment is instantly reflected on the invoice in your Savo Store account.

  • Credit/debit card payments are not available in person at our Nairobi pick-up point.

  • To pay by card, please log in and complete the transaction through your Savo Store account online.

  • Card payments can be made in either USD or KES.

  • Card payments are not available for Buy & Ship orders.

Bank Transfer

  • Payments by bank transfer or deposit can be made in USD or KES.

  • The funds must be reflected in our bank account before we can proceed to release your goods or make a purchase on your behalf.

  • Bank details are provided on your invoice.

  • For bank transfer payments, our support team needs to manually update your Savo Store account. After you've made a payment, please send us a message with your proof of payment. This will allow us to quickly and accurately update your account.

Should you have any questions or need assistance with making a payment, our customer service team is always here to help. Start a chat on our website or in your Savo Store account.
