Sales Payments (M-Pesa & Card) — Assessment

1. A customer pays for goods via M-Pesa STK on AWRA. Where does that money end up, and how does it relate to the business's AWRA subscription?

It is applied as credit against the workspace's next AWRA subscription invoice It settles into an AWRA pooled account and is paid out to the workspace weekly It settles to the workspace's own M-Pesa account; sales collection is entirely separate from AWRA subscription billing It settles to AWRA's platform M-Pesa account, the same one used for subscriptions

2. A business has only ever used STK and now wants customers who pay its Paybill directly to auto-confirm against invoices. What must it do first?

Nothing — Paybill payments always auto-confirm once M-Pesa is active Register its C2B Confirmation/Validation URLs with Safaricom ("Register payment URLs") Ask each customer to forward the confirmation SMS to the business Switch from Paybill to a Till, because only Till supports auto-confirmation

3. On the POS register, card payments use Paystack's inline popup rather than a redirect. Why does that choice matter at the register specifically?

Redirects are not supported by Paystack in Kenya The popup is cheaper per transaction than a redirect A redirect would navigate away and lose the in-progress cart; the popup keeps it and lets AWRA finalize the sale The popup avoids needing a webhook to confirm the payment

4. A card payment succeeds at Paystack, but the customer's browser closes before returning to AWRA. What reconciles the sale, and what protects against a forged call?

The browser return is the only confirmation, so the payment is lost The signed Paystack webhook reconciles it; AWRA verifies an HMAC SHA-512 signature with the workspace's secret key AWRA polls the customer's phone until it reconnects Nothing reconciles it; the cashier must re-charge the customer

5. Everything below is true about refunds/reversals in AWRA EXCEPT:

They are off by default and enabled per business under Payment Settings A confirmation dialog shows the method, receipt, and amount before money moves When the setting is off the buttons are hidden, but the action still runs if the request is sent directly A successful refund/reversal re-opens the balance on the linked invoice or sale
