Payment Plans
When confirming a payment request through Sevi, you can choose from the following payment options depending on your available credit limit and preferred payment method:
1. Lipa na Sevi (Full Credit – Weekly Repayment)
- Sevi pays the full order amount to your supplier immediately.
- The amount becomes your Sevi Credit balance, which you repay in weekly instalments.
- Repayments are automatically collected from your Sevi Wallet.
- You will receive SMS and app notifications before each repayment date.
- This option is available if your credit limit covers the full order amount.
2. Split Pay (Pay Now + Pay Later)
-
Pay part of the order now using:
- M-Pesa, or
- Sevi Wallet
-
The remaining balance is covered by Sevi Credit (Pay Later).
-
The Pay Later portion will be repaid in weekly instalments.
-
This option is useful when your credit limit does not fully cover the order amount, or when you prefer to reduce your credit usage.
3. Direct Pay (Full Immediate Payment)
-
Pay the full amount immediately using:
- M-Pesa, or
- Sevi Wallet
-
No credit is used.
-
No weekly repayments are created.
-
This works the same as a normal cash payment.
Things to Note
- Your available payment options will be shown before confirming the payment request.
- Your credit limit determines whether Full Credit or Split Pay is available.
- Weekly repayment schedules are clearly shown after confirmation.
- Late repayments may affect your credit limit and future eligibility.
- Consistently repaying on time helps increase your credit limit over time.
Example
Suppose you confirm a payment request worth KSh 3,000:
-
Lipa na Sevi (Full Credit):
Sevi pays the full KSh 3,000. You repay in weekly instalments. -
Split Pay:
You pay KSh 1,000 now via M-Pesa or Wallet.
Sevi covers KSh 2,000, which you repay weekly. -
Direct Pay:
You pay the full KSh 3,000 immediately. No credit is used.
Choose the option that best fits your cash flow:
- Lipa na Sevi (Full Credit) → best when your credit limit covers the full amount.
- Split Pay → best when you want to combine credit with a partial payment.
- Direct Pay → best when you prefer to pay fully without using credit.
