$amount = 1;
$phone = '0720068822';
$account='123';

$phone2= '254'.substr($phone, 1);
$url = 'https://sandbox.safaricom.co.ke/mpesa/stkpush/v1/processrequest';

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$app_consumer_key = 'T3PUFNac2pCObhtQgIStX485Depa4bqR';
$app_consumer_secret = 'rr3DqquSy3frc3GD';
$token='d2GrLikTPafLwVAGt0miKbgDCIZs';

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json','Authorization:Bearer '.$token)); //setting custom header

$timestamp =date('YmdHis');
// dd($timestamp);
$passkey = "bfb279f9aa9bdbcf158e97dd71a467cd2e0c893059b10f78e6b72ada1ed2c919";
$short_code = "174379";
$password = base64_encode($short_code . $passkey . $timestamp);
$callback_url="enter your callback url here"';
$curl_post_data = array(
//Fill in the request parameters with valid values
"BusinessShortCode" => $short_code,

Hi Gich Device,

Welcome to ASP.NET forums.

If you’d like to make request in C#, you can use HttpWebRequest class to handle HTTP and HTTPS requests.
