The best free POS in Kenya and East Africa
Quick sales, stock that counts itself, mobile money at the counter — and it keeps selling when the internet drops.
No monthly fee, no licence, no card. Also on Android, iPhone and any browser.
Built for how business is done in this region
For shops, restaurants, chemists, hardwares and salons across East Africa — not a trimmed-down foreign product.
Free, not free for 30 days
No monthly licence, no per-till charge. Others bill you before you have sold a thing.
Made for patchy internet
Keeps working when the line goes down, and catches up on its own.
Mobile money at the counter
Cash, M-Pesa and Airtel Money on one screen, in shillings.
More than a till
Restocking, parcels, online orders and points come with it.
What you get without paying anything
Nothing here is a trial, and nothing expires.
KES 0 to use
No setup fee, no licence. As many counters as you need.
Unlimited sales
As many sales as you like, with your full product list.
Nothing to install on a server
Download, sign in, and your business is on the counter.

The till is the front of it. Everything else is in the same window.
Sell fast

Your team, your rules
Staff get their own logins. You see who sold what.
Reports that make sense
Daily takings, best sellers, and what is sitting on the shelf.
Money where you want it
Settle to your own M-Pesa or Airtel number.
It works with the kit you already have
Plug in what you own. Nothing special to buy, and nothing to configure.
- Barcode scanners. Plug in USB and scan. New codes are learned at the counter.
- Receipt printers. Print, or send it to their phone.
- Cash drawer. Pops open on a cash sale.
- Any screen. Laptop, desktop, tablet or phone.
When the internet drops, you keep selling
Your product list and prices live on the machine, so the till carries on: sales, payment, receipts.
- Nothing is lost. Offline sales go up when you are back on.
- Stock catches up. Shelf counts settle themselves.
- No cold start. Open with the line still down and it is ready.
