What Nyota Imara does
Nyota Imara gives your business a single REST API to handle the infrastructure that every Kenyan B2B company needs: verifying the identities of users and businesses, managing your team’s access, collecting payments through card and M-Pesa, running a commerce storefront, and dispatching orders for last-mile delivery — all without stitching together separate vendors. Every API resource lives underhttps://api.nyotaimara.com/v1. You authenticate with a JWT issued after sign-in at accounts.nyotaimara.com, and you identify your organization context on scoped endpoints with the X-Organization-Id header.
Key capabilities
Organizations & teams
Create an organization, invite team members, and assign roles with granular permissions. Owner, admin, billing, and member roles map directly onto what each person can do in your workspace.
Identity verification (KYC/KYB)
Verify individual users with government-issued ID documents (KYC) and verify your business entity with registration certificates and director IDs (KYB). Verification status is reflected in real time across your organization.
Billing & payments
Accept Paystack card payments and M-Pesa STK pushes. Save reusable payment methods, track transaction history, and manage subscription plans — all in KES.
Commerce & orders
Create a branded storefront, manage product inventory across multiple warehouse locations, and process orders through a full lifecycle from draft to delivered. Multi-vendor marketplaces with commission splits are supported out of the box.
Last-mile logistics
Get live delivery fee estimates and dispatch orders to couriers through Uber Direct. Track each delivery from pickup to doorstep, with live tracking URLs you can share directly with your customers.
Notifications & SMS
Send in-app notifications and transactional SMS messages to your customers. Manage custom alphanumeric sender IDs and monitor delivery status through a full audit log.
