Lipa na mpesa using STK Error

[weddingjuma]

why do I get this error, Am testing because I want to move into production { "requestId": "1494-250373-3", "errorCode": "500.001.1001", "errorMessage": "[MerchantValidate] - Wrong credentials" }

same a s this https://developer.safaricom.co.ke/content/merchantvalidate-wrong-credentials-stkpush-simulation

You need to provide more details ,like what you have tried first

[kisese]

Hi @weddingjuma basically the shortcode you are using in your request body is not allowed to perform STK push request, there is a test shortcode on the dev portal, however for production you will have to apply for an LNMOnline shortcode

[weddingjuma]

Thanks @kisese for your reply, for the test credentials are you referring to Shortcode 1, shortcode 2 or the Lipa Na Mpesa Online Shortcode am reffering to test credentilas on the developers portal

[kisese]

@weddingjuma use the Lipa Na Mpesa Online Shortcode and the Lipa Na MPESA Online passkey

[weddingjuma]

Thanks @kisese, i will try it out

[weddingjuma]

In step 2 using the screen shot (https://github.com/safaricom/LNMOnlineAndroidSample) ie (Add a customers phone number:) is it the Marchant or the Customer who gets this on their phone

[dennisoft]

@weddingjuma Its the merchant who gets this i.e the merchant enters the customers phone number on the app so that the customer gets the STKPush and proceeds to pay. Did you solve the Merchant Validation issue?

[weddingjuma]

@dennisoft Which marchant validation issue? Are you referring to the issue of invalid token? if so I realized some times the safaricom test Short code does not work, so me i normally test in in the night, and most of the time it work

[kennbuluma]

@weddingjuma how did you get yours sorted? I still can't get past that error.

[CossyCossy]

@weddingjuma how did you manage to go about solving this { "requestId": "1494-250373-3", "errorCode": "500.001.1001", "errorMessage": "[MerchantValidate] - Wrong credentials" }

[philodoer]

Hello guys. Am using test details. My project does not show on successful payment dialog. What could be the problem.

[philodoer]

I want my customer to be awarded points on every success payment but don't know how to trigger this action. Where exactly should I put this code.

make sure you are using ssl, the url has to be on ssl otherwise you will always get errors

[ruddy12]

[Nellyazx]

I used to get te same Errors, replace your whole code with what safaricom has given on the developers portal, then use the test credentials

[ruddy12]

Hi @Nellyazx

I took the curl they have provided and passed the test credentials they have, also encodedbase64.encode(Shortcode+Passkey+Timestamp) but getting the same issue.

Also Daraja is geving a different error from web though I pass the test credentials with the same token

[ruddy12]

@Nellyazx Kindly share(if ur willing) a sample of your working stk_push_request

Shared Knowledge is better than Hoarded information

[weddingjuma]

HI, am planning to do a proper video of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_04nuPavXUU&list=UUV4FsD2gBl4m9D0l-lF9o6Q&index=4

[onyashed]

@philodoer I see, would love to see what the team says. and also if they accept contributions.

I think giving discounts is better to points.

[onyashed]

@philodoer the reason I am suggesting this. is from the bitcoin story. On 22 May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world transaction by buying two pizzas in Jacksonville, Florida for 10,000Bit Coins approx $30. Today that is worth 100million USD. Let us pull guys to online transactions because hakuna kanjo hapa.

[onyashed]

Im trying a B2B online transaction with this body segment: 'CommandID' => 'BusinessTransferFromMMFToUtility', 'SenderIdentifierType' => '4', 'RecieverIdentifierType' => '4', 'Amount' => '2319101', 'PartyA' => '601322', 'PartyB' => '601322', 'AccountReference' => 'b201', The error result is shown below. The reverse works. From utility to MMF. What is this rule they are talking about..."Limit rule" {"Result":{"ResultType":0,"ResultCode":2,"ResultDesc":"Declined due to limit rule: less than the minimum transaction amount.","OriginatorConversationID":"25162-171379-1","ConversationID":"AG_20180921_000065cf2b24777821af","TransactionID":"MIL31H6SD3","ResultParameters":{"ResultParameter":{"Key":"DebitAccountCurrentBalance","Value":"{Amount={CurrencyCode=KES, MinimumAmount=2319100, BasicAmount=23191.00}}"}},"ReferenceData":{"ReferenceItem":[{"Key":"QueueTimeoutURL","Value":"https://internalsandbox.safaricom.co.ke/mpesa/b2bresults/v1/submit"},{"Key":"Occassion"}]}}}
