## About the product

Salami Gateway is a unified, developer-focused API platform for organisations in Kenya and East Africa that need to connect payments, messaging, tax compliance, IoT locks, attendance devices, and accounting systems in one place.

Key capabilities include:
- **Unified Payments API** that supports M-Pesa (C2B, B2C, B2B), Airtel Money, MTN Mobile Money, Equity Bank, Pesalink, PayPal, Stripe, and Flutterwave, with **STK Push**, balance checks, transaction queries, and airtime purchase routed through consistent endpoints (for example, `POST /api/pay/{app}/requestPayment`).
- **SMS Gateway** with **130+ providers** for bulk SMS and two-way messaging, including delivery tracking and auto-replies, plus support for using an **Android phone as a gateway** (`POST /api/sms/{app}/send`).
- **KRA eTims and KRA Portal APIs** for electronic tax invoices and compliance workflows, including PIN verification, TCC checks, declaration lookups, QR codes, and inventory management (`/api/kra/{app}/...`, `POST /api/kra/checkers/pin`).
- **Modules for operations and accounting** such as smart lock management (remote unlock, passcodes, battery monitoring, event logs), biometric attendance integrations with webhook notifications, and QuickBooks sync with connection management and sync logs.

Available via **Web dashboard** and **REST APIs** (tenant subdomains such as `https://{tenant}.salami.co.ke/api/`).

Target users include **software developers**, **SaaS platforms**, **e-commerce businesses**, and **point-of-sale providers** that need to combine payments, SMS notifications, eTims invoicing, and accounting reconciliation.

Notable for East Africa, it offers a **multi-tenant** setup per organisation, a **sandbox/simulators** module to test payment and SMS flows (including callback simulations), and security controls such as **SSL/TLS**, **scoped API tokens**, **webhook signatures**, and **audit logs**. Pricing is paid, with a **KES 1,000/month platform fee** (14-day free trial) plus module setup and monthly usage bands.
