M-Pesa is woven into Kenyan life, and gaming should be no different. GameStop Kenya accepts M-Pesa for every product — physical consoles, games, gift cards, and IPTV subscriptions. Here is how the process works.
Paying for Physical Orders
Add items to your cart on gamestop.co.ke, proceed to checkout, and select M-Pesa at the payment screen. You will receive an STK push to your Safaricom number. Enter your M-Pesa PIN and the payment is confirmed. Orders placed before 2 PM qualify for same-day delivery in Nairobi CBD.
Buying Digital Gift Cards
PSN, Xbox, Nintendo eShop, and Steam wallet cards are purchased the same way. After M-Pesa confirmation, the code is sent to your email and WhatsApp. PSN and Xbox codes work directly on your console or the respective app — no VPN or region switching required for KSh-denominated cards.
IPTV Subscriptions
IPTV plans are activated after M-Pesa payment is verified. Your login credentials and M3U playlist link are sent within minutes. Plans start at KSh 500 per week.
Tips
- Keep your M-Pesa balance loaded before checkout to avoid the STK push timing out.
- Save your M-Pesa transaction message — it doubles as your receipt for any support queries.
- Airtel Money is also accepted if you are not on Safaricom.
