PesaCrow is a developer-first escrow API bridging the trust gap in mobile-first markets. We stand out with a seamless M-Pesa STK push checkout that eliminates buyer OTP friction. Key features: automated fund release on delivery, real-time proof-of-delivery viewing, and a robust self-service developer portal. Perfect for marketplaces and social commerce, PesaCrow delivers the security of escrow with the speed of mobile money. Secure transactions, simplified.
Hey Product Hunt,
I'm the founder and developer behind PesaCrow.
I built this after personally experiencing how broken trust is in African online transactions — buyers afraid to pay upfront, sellers afraid to ship first. The result? Deals falling apart, fraud running rampant, and no reliable middle layer for the growing wave of social commerce across Kenya and Africa.
Why PesaCrow? Most escrow solutions are built for Western markets — wire transfers, credit cards, slow verification. We built from the ground up for mobile-first markets, where M-Pesa is king and speed matters.
The thing I'm most proud of is our M-Pesa STK push checkout — no OTP friction, no copy-pasting paybill numbers. Buyers get a push notification, confirm, done. It just works.
What we're solving right now:
- Social commerce sellers on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp who have no payment protection
- Marketplace builders who need escrow without building it from scratch
- Developers who need a clean API to drop escrow into any app in hours
What's next: We're expanding support for more African mobile money providers beyond M-Pesa, and building dispute resolution tooling directly into the portal.
I'd love your honest feedback — especially from developers and marketplace builders. Try the API at developer.pesacrow.top and let me know what breaks.
Ask me anything.
