I recently installed the Payhero plugin on my WordPress site and have been extremely impressed with the functionality it provides. The Swift Payment Service (SPS) feature, specifically, has been a game changer for me. As a business owner in Kenya, being able to receive payments through MPESA has streamlined my payment process and made it much easier for my customers to complete transactions. The setup was simple and the plugin has been running smoothly. I highly recommend Payhero to any business in the Kenyan market looking to improve their payment options.
