Micropay - Stripe for the next billion people (https://micropay.dev/)
Hi HN, I built this because I got tired of fighting with integrating payments in Africa.
M-Pesa processes over $300B annually, it's how 50+ million people in Kenya pay for everything from groceries to rent. People don't have bank accounts, but rather pay straight from their cell phone nummber. But integrating it into your app? That's a different story. Most developers spend weeks on what should take hours, it's almost impossible. And existing solutions for Mastercard, Paypal, Apple Pay etc are useless because most don't have bank accounts.
Micropay is essentially what Stripe did for credit cards, but for mobile money.
