Greetings all,<br>
<br>
As a vendor using the pesapal service via <a href="http://mimi.co.ke" target="_blank">mimi.co.ke</a> I can confirm<br>
that our customers appreciate the ease with which they can purchase<br>
goods online. The fact that they have numerous options or payment is<br>
important. Infact, quite a number of our sales are credit card<br>
transactions.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
J<br>
