What is a decoding or hashback API?

The API is designed to decode hashed numbers that are part of the Safaricom callback response. It is particularly useful when processing payments made to a till or PayBill number.

How does decoder or hashback api work?

When a user makes a payment, Safaricom sends a callback response with hashed Mobile number. Hashback decodes this string, providing clear mobile number from the customer.

How is the pricing of the decoding/hasback api?

Charges are 0.3 kes per request. The API operates on a pay-as-you-go model, where users are billed based on their usage. This means you only pay for the specific API requests(successful) you make, allowing for flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Detailed information about pricing and usage metrics can be found in the Pricing Section.

Can I use the decoder or hashback API to know more details of the phone number?

No, the API is designed to decode hashed Kenyan mobile numbers only. It does not provide information about the owner of a mobile number.
