When a customer buys, tap what they are taking, then record it as cash or QR. That is the whole job at the counter.

Tap to record

Tap a product and the sale is recorded. No adding up from memory, no notebook at the counter.

Cash or QR

Every sale is marked as cash or QR, so the day splits into what went in the till and what did not.

SebutsiPay is a point-of-sale that runs in your phone’s browser, right where you stand at the counter.

Why owners close with SebutsiPay

A shop owner at her counter with a phone while her son stacks a crate of bottles, shutter half down at dusk.

Every night ends the same way.

Shut the shop and SebutsiPay closes the day with a cash-up, so the night does not end with a guess.

Hands counting banknotes and coins in piles beside a metal cash tin and a phone.

The till, to the rand.

It tells you exactly what the till should hold, so you can count the drawer against a number.

Restock before the shelf is bare.

The cash-up also tells you what to restock, built from the sales you tapped in during the day.

Your money stays yours.

SebutsiPay never touches your money. It only keeps the record and does the sums.
