The short answer
Support Hustle sends supporters an M-Pesa prompt. M-Pesa prompts pay businesses, so the money has to go to a Till (Buy Goods), a Paybill, or a bank account through the bank’s Paybill. A personal number can’t receive them.
The account must be yours: ZetuPay never holds the money, so it lands wherever you point your page.
Till, Paybill or bank: which one?
- Till: the simplest. Supporters’ money lands in your Till straight away.
- Paybill: works if you already have one. You can add an account number so tips are labelled.
- Bank account: the tip goes through your bank’s Paybill into your account. Choose your bank from the list when you add it.
If you only have a personal number
Ask Safaricom or your bank about getting a Till or Paybill; what they ask for differs, so check with them directly.
If you already have a bank account, receiving into it through the bank’s Paybill can be the quickest way to start, as long as your bank is on Support Hustle’s list.
