Question 1

What exactly do I get when I use HazinaPay?

Accepted Answer

You get a complete, working web application — real code, not a generic template. Every project includes all the pages your business needs, a database to store your data, user login, payment integration (M-Pesa and/or card), and a plain-English setup guide. You download it as a zip file and can deploy it yourself or give it to a developer to set up.

Question 2

Do I need to know how to code?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. You just type what your business needs in plain language — like 'A booking system for my Nairobi hair salon where clients book stylists and pay a deposit via M-Pesa.' Our system figures out all the technical details. If you want to deploy the app yourself, we give you a step-by-step guide written for non-developers.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Sign up and get 10 free credits — no credit card needed. A basic portfolio or landing page costs 3 credits. A booking system is 6 credits. An e-commerce store or restaurant ordering system is 9 credits. A SaaS platform is 15 credits, and a school management system is 16 credits. If you need more credits, you can buy packs starting from KES 3,000 for 10 credits.

Question 4

What is a credit and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Credits are the currency you use to generate apps on HazinaPay. Each app type costs a fixed number of credits — simple apps cost fewer, complex ones cost more. You start with 10 free credits, and can buy more in packs whenever you need them. There are no monthly fees. Each credit purchase is a one-time payment and your credits never expire.

Question 5

Who owns the code after I generate it?

Accepted Answer

You do — 100%. The moment you download your project, it's yours to keep, modify, and host anywhere you like. There are no ongoing licensing fees, no subscription required to keep your app running, and no lock-in of any kind. You can even hire another developer to modify it later if you need changes.

Question 6

Can I really launch this without a developer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for many business types. Every generated project includes a step-by-step SETUP.md guide that walks you through deploying to Vercel (a free hosting platform), setting up your database, and adding your API keys. If you prefer, you can also hand the zip file to any developer — they will have everything they need to get it live quickly.

Question 7

What kinds of apps can HazinaPay build?

Accepted Answer

HazinaPay specialises in six types of business apps: portfolio / landing pages, booking & appointment systems, e-commerce stores, restaurant ordering & menu apps, SaaS platforms with subscriptions and user management, and school management systems with fees and attendance. Each is fully customisable for your specific business.

Question 8

Does it work for businesses outside Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While HazinaPay has strong support for Kenyan businesses (M-Pesa, Swahili, KES pricing), every app also includes Paystack for card and mobile money payments across Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and more. Business owners in any country can use HazinaPay — you just choose which payment methods you want included.

Question 9

What payment methods are accepted for buying credits?

Accepted Answer

You can buy credit packs using M-Pesa or any card (Visa, Mastercard) via Paystack. Payments are processed securely and credits are added to your account instantly after payment is confirmed.

Question 10

What technology is used for the generated apps?

Accepted Answer

All generated apps use Next.js (a modern, widely-used web framework) with a Turso database, Tailwind CSS for styling, and authentication built in. This stack is well-supported — any developer familiar with Next.js can extend or modify your app after generation.

Question 11

Can I add features to the app after generating it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The generated code is standard Next.js that any developer can modify. You can also generate a new version of your app with different add-ons — each generation uses credits, so think of it as getting a fresh, updated version of your project.
