Bill, pay, verify, update.
The account only changes once the payment behind it has been confirmed.
Prepaid or postpaid
Handle both arrangements against the same account record and the same collection flow.
Credit on confirmed payment
The verified payment event is what triggers the credit or reconnection step in your systems.
Payment history per meter
Every payment carries a reference tied to the meter or account number.
Paid from the prompt
M-Pesa STK Push puts the amount on the customer's phone rather than on a poster.

Electricity billing FAQs.
Yes. ScanPay supports electricity billing and payment collection workflows, for both prepaid and postpaid arrangements, with payment verification before the account is updated.
Prepaid and postpaid workflows are both supported. In a prepaid arrangement the customer pays and the verified payment triggers the credit step in your own metering system.
A bill is generated against the account and the customer is notified, then payment is collected through M-Pesa STK Push so the amount arrives already filled in.
ScanPay provides the billing, collection and verification layer, and exposes webhooks so your metering or vending system can act on a verified payment.
M-Pesa collection carries a 1% transaction fee. Billing configuration depends on your customer base — contact ScanPay for a quote.
