M-Pesa Lipa Number QR Code Generator

Generate a printable QR code for your M-Pesa Lipa Number / Tigo Pay / Airtel Pay till. Scan to pay.

QR codes for mobile money payments in Tanzania

The fastest way for a customer to pay you in Tanzania is to scan a printed QR code rather than type a Lipa Number. This tool generates a printable QR with your business name, network and number — paste it on a counter, table tent, vehicle, invoice, or business card.

Networks supported

  • M-Pesa Lipa Number — Vodacom merchant till.
  • Tigo Pesa Lipa — Yas merchant till.
  • Airtel Money — Lipa kwa Simu — Airtel merchant till.
  • Halopesa — TTCL merchant pochi.
  • M-Pesa Pochi la Biashara — for small/informal traders.

How customers scan

  1. Customer opens their mobile-money app (M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money or banking app with QR).
  2. Taps "Scan to Pay" or QR icon.
  3. Camera reads the QR and pre-fills your number.
  4. Customer enters / confirms amount and PIN.
  5. You receive instant SMS confirmation.

Where to put your QR

  • Counter / till — laminated A5 print.
  • Restaurant table tent — A6 stand.
  • Boda boda fuel tank, taxi dashboard, daladala interior.
  • Invoice + receipt footer.
  • Business card back side.
  • Vehicle wrap / shop window.

Why merchants prefer Lipa Number / Pochi over P2P

  • No fee for the customer when paying a Lipa Number.
  • Lower fee for you — merchant tariffs are below P2P send-fee tariffs.
  • Auto-reconciliation with Tawala POS.
  • Daily settlement directly to your bank account.

Pair with WhatsApp Link Generator for "scan to pay + chat" combo on the same card, and Mobile Money Fees to see what you'd pay vs P2P.
