How your team can use Wito

A booking from a guest’s phone

A guest chooses a ticket category and quantity, provides the requested contact details and submits the booking. When online payments are enabled, Wito initiates an M-Pesa prompt for the guest to complete on their phone.

Payment confirmation matters

Sending a prompt does not mean payment is complete. The booking flow waits for payment confirmation, and the team can review the recorded status when a guest needs assistance.

Prepare, share and welcome your guests.

  1. 1

    Prepare paid tickets

    Set ticket prices and quantities, confirm the payment setup and test the booking flow before launch.

  2. 2

    Guests complete payment

    Guests follow the M-Pesa prompt on their own phone. Their PIN is entered in M-Pesa, never shared with your event team.

  3. 3

    Use the issued ticket

    After successful payment processing, the guest can use the issued QR ticket for event entry. Staff review the ticket record if help is needed.

Tools for your event team.

Choose the workflow and support that fit your event.

A clear payment step

Guests can see the selected ticket and payment instructions as part of the event booking flow.

Track pending and completed payments

Use recorded payment status when assisting guests instead of treating a payment prompt as a receipt.

Prepare for launch

Agree payment configuration, charges and settlement arrangements with Wito before selling tickets.

Questions before you start

Does every event have M-Pesa enabled automatically?

No. Online payment availability depends on the event and payment configuration. Confirm the setup before publishing payment instructions.

What if a guest does not complete the prompt?

The payment may remain pending or fail. The guest should follow the booking page’s status and contact the organizer if they are unsure before retrying.

Does the organizer need the guest’s M-Pesa PIN?

No. Guests enter their PIN only in the M-Pesa prompt on their own phone.

What are the payment fees and settlement times?

Ask Wito to confirm the applicable charges and settlement arrangements for your event. This page does not promise a fixed settlement time.
