Local payment methods IntaSend brings to checkout

Built for East Africa

IntaSend onboards merchants in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Mobile money leads in these markets, so pairing M-Pesa and Airtel Money with cards covers how most buyers in the region pay for a ticket.

Pricing and payouts

You connect your own IntaSend account, so mobile-money and card payments settle directly to you in your local currency. IntaSend sets its processing fees by your agreement, and Evenda adds no platform fee of its own on ticket sales.

Technical notes

IntaSend uses the Checkout API: Evenda creates a checkout and redirects the buyer to the hosted page. The result arrives as a server-to-server webhook whose challenge field must match the value you set in your dashboard, with state COMPLETE, which Evenda checks before the order is marked paid — so the status stays correct even if the buyer closes the tab.

Connect IntaSend to Evenda to sell tickets across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and settle to your own account.
