Keep these payment states separate
- For cash, count the tender and return the correct change.
- For a manual M-Pesa record, confirm the payment in the merchant’s own service before entering its reference.
- For a manual card record, use the merchant’s authorised card process and keep its confirmation; do not enter card numbers or security codes into this worksheet.
- If confirmation is delayed, investigate before recording another sale or treating a typed reference as verified.
- Reconcile payment records against the merchant service and the POS sale once.
What is connected in this release
Cash checkout and manually entered payment references are supplied. Automatic phone prompts, card processing and eTIMS submission are not connected. A reference typed by a cashier is a record, not a provider callback or payment confirmation. This page cannot send a prompt, accept a payment or confirm a transfer.
Apply the same unit check to payments
Distinguish capacity, material and set count for pots, pans and utensils. Use one consistent unit for each product.
Product fit for this business
Use defined whole units and packs. The software is not a complete specialist ERP or double-entry accounting system.
All amounts and product movements on this page are illustrative. The public demo uses sample records. Use an isolated test installation for rehearsal and replace sample prices and counts before real trading.
