How It Works

Your Systems, Finally Talking to Each Other

An integration project typically follows a clear path from trigger to result, no more copy-pasting between apps, no more manual steps.

Integrations We Build

M-Pesa Daraja Integration

The gold standard for Kenyan payment integrations. STK Push, C2B, B2C, balance checks, and automated reconciliation, all wired cleanly into your platform.

  • STK Push (customer-initiated payments)
  • C2B paybill & till automations
  • B2C payouts to customer phones

  • Payment reconciliation reports

WhatsApp Business API

Automate customer messaging at scale. Send order confirmations, payment receipts, support replies, and bulk campaigns, straight from your business systems.

  • Automated transactional messages
  • Two-way conversation flows
  • Order & payment notifications
  • WhatsApp chatbot triggers
  • Message templates & bulk sends

SMS Gateway Integration

Kenya-optimised SMS through Africa's Talking, Twilio, and other providers. From one-time PINs to bulk SMS campaigns, fast, reliable delivery across all networks.

  • OTP / verification code flows
  • Bulk SMS campaign automation
  • Delivery receipt tracking

  • Custom branded HTML email templates
  • Automated trigger-based sequences
  • Bounce & unsubscribe handling
  • Custom domain verification

Custom REST API Development

We design and build your own REST or GraphQL APIs, clean, documented, and secured. Expose your business logic to partners, mobile apps, or external systems.

  • REST API design & documentation
  • Authentication (JWT, API keys, OAuth)
  • Rate limiting & abuse protection
  • Webhook emitter & receiver endpoints
  • Cloudflare Workers deployment

ERP & CRM Integrations

Sync your web presence with existing management systems. Whether it's a local ERP, QuickBooks, Odoo, or a proprietary system, we bridge the gap cleanly.

  • QuickBooks / Xero data sync
  • Odoo & custom ERP connectivity
  • Inventory system webhooks
  • Customer data pipeline automation
  • Multi-system reconciliation

AI & Data Pipeline APIs

Connect your systems to AI models, data processing pipelines, and intelligence tools. Turn raw business data into smart, actionable outputs, automatically.

  • OpenAI / Claude API integration
  • Automated report generation

A Real-World Example

M-Pesa STK Push in Under 30 Lines

This is the kind of clean, secure integration code we deliver, no bloat, no black boxes. Every integration is documented, tested, and handed over with full explanation.

// M-Pesa STK Push — Lucid-X integration pattern async function initiatePayment({ phone, amount, reference }) { // 1. Obtain OAuth token from Daraja const token = await getMpesaToken(env); // 2. Build timestamped password const ts = timestamp(); const password = base64(`${SHORTCODE}${PASSKEY}${ts}`); // 3. Initiate push const resp = await fetch(`${DARAJA_URL}/stkpush/v1/processrequest`, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({ BusinessShortCode: SHORTCODE, Password: password, Timestamp: ts, TransactionType: 'CustomerBuyGoodsOnline', Amount: amount, PhoneNumber: phone, CallBackURL: `${BASE_URL}/api/mpesa-callback`, AccountReference: reference, }) }); const data = await resp.json(); if (data.ResponseCode !== '0') throw new Error(data.CustomerMessage); return data.CheckoutRequestID; // poll this for payment status }

Our Approach

How We Deliver Integrations

01

Discovery & Mapping

We map exactly what data moves where. Source systems, destination systems, triggers, transformations, and edge cases, all documented before a line of code is written.

02

Sandbox Testing

We build and test against sandbox APIs first. M-Pesa sandbox, test WhatsApp numbers, mock webhooks, every scenario validated before going near production data.

03

Production Deployment

Deployed on Cloudflare Workers for global edge performance. IP allowlists, signature verification, rate limiting, and error alerting, security by default, not as an afterthought.

04

Handover & Support

Full documentation, admin dashboard access, and training. We don't disappear after go-live, we monitor, tune, and support as your integration grows.
