Tanzania: Integrating M-PESA with XenFi Using Snippe (A Step-by-Step Guide)

Integrating Snippe API with XenFi

Step 1: Create a Snippe Account

Visit the Snippe platform (snippe.sh) and create an account.
After registration, log in to access the Snippe Dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to API Keys

On the dashboard, locate the Settings section and select API Keys.
This section allows you to generate keys that enable communication between XenFi and the Snippe payment system.

Step 3: Create a New API Key

Click “Create" API Key.”

At this stage;

• Provide a name for your key (e.g., xenfi-production)

• Select the required scopes (permissions):

  • collection:read

  • collection:create

  • disbursement:read

  • disbursement:create

Step 4: Verify Your Identity

For security purposes, Snippe will require verification before generating the API key.

• Choose a verification method (Email, WhatsApp, or SMS)

• A one-time verification code will be sent to you

• Enter the verification code in the provided input fields

• Click Verify to proceed

Step 5: Copy and Store the API Key

Once verification is successful, you will be redirected back to the dashboard.

• Your API key will be displayed

• Copy it immediately and store it securely

Note: The API key is shown only once. If lost, you will need to generate a new one.

Step 6: Configure XenFi Payment Gateway

Now switch to your XenFi Dashboard.

• Go to Settings → Payment Gateways

• Locate Snippe

• Click Configure

Step 7: Apply the Integration

• Paste the copied API key into the required field

• Tick “Apply configuration to all hotspots”

• Click Save
