Core Transaction Workflows

1. Pay Customer allows merchants to send money directly to suppliers, issue refunds, or transfer salaries to employee M-PESA accounts.
2. Withdraw Money lets merchants move collected funds from the till to an owner's M-PESA account, an agent, or a linked bank.
3. Pay Bill and Buy Goods enables merchants to pay suppliers and service providers directly from their till balance.
4. Roll Up functionality pushes accumulated funds to a head office or parent account for consolidated management.

Viewing Statements and Transaction History

New users often discover that M-PESA for Business displays full transaction records once the app is running properly. The interface separates Money-in credits from Money-out debits, and users can filter and review accumulated values per day. Early sessions reveal that accessing past statements requires working through the app's statement retrieval feature; some users note that statement generation can be inconsistent, occasionally returning incomplete data. Despite this limitation, the ability to see which customer or supplier initiated a payment (when the statement renders correctly) supports proper business reconciliation.

Tracking Business Growth and Performance

First-time users see accumulated daily values when clicking into the graph, and the visual format helps identify sales patterns and cash flow cycles.
