Can I pay for domain through M-Pesa?
-
Why not cater for other payment options when one wants to register a domain, like today I tried the one year subscription and then I realised I don’t have a credit card or paypal account. I am in Kenya and I know you can do good business once you allow bloggers to pay through M-PESA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-Pesa) and other mobile money transfer options. Think about this guys. Cheers.

This thread will be moved to the Ideas Forum for you.
The current accepted forums of payment are as follows:
WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.
The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.
More about echecks here:

re: Kenya
If for whatever reason, PayPal have chosen to block payment from
your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of it. -
As timethief says, Paypal or Bitcoin are the only WordPress.com payment options at this time.

And yes, I have moved this to “ideas”. Other payment options are always worth suggesting.
