How it works

Payment webhook → WhatsApp message

Connect your M-Pesa, card, or wallet callback to FlareSend. Reduce “Did my payment go through?” support tickets.

Instant payment received / failed alerts
Include amount, reference, and receipt link
Works with Kenyan and African payment stacks
Same API for refunds and subscription renewals
Flat 30-day price, with no per-message fees on this path

How FlareSend connects: You link your own WhatsApp number by scanning a QR code, then call a simple REST API. Setup is fast and does not require Meta Cloud API business verification. For very large official-template campaigns, Meta’s Cloud API may still be a better fit — see the comparison.
