Choosing the best POS system for your shop comes down to what it costs each month and what it does when the internet drops. Here is every Stawi Biz price, and six things worth checking in any system before you pay.
Every plan starts with 14 days free, with no card. Pharmacies, restaurants, salons and lodges have their own plans on the pricing page.
Ask exactly what works offline. With Stawi Biz it is the installed desktop till and the phone app's sale queue; online reports need a connection.
A yearly price is paid in one go. Stawi Biz is priced by the month, with a discount if you choose to prepay.
Most Tanzanian shops sell on credit. Check that the system records who owes what and takes part-payments. Stawi Biz does, from the Starter plan.
M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money and HaloPesa should be payment methods at the counter, and matched against sales at the end of the shift.
Look for voids and refunds that carry a reason and a name, and a cash drawer counted against the cash that was expected.
A pharmacy needs batches and expiry dates; a restaurant needs tables and a kitchen screen. A shop till alone will not do either.
Stawi Biz starts at TSh 10,000 a month for a retail shop on the Duka POS plan. Plans with a debt book, branches and more are TSh 15,000, TSh 25,000 and TSh 35,000 a month.
It depends on the business. A single shop needs fast selling, stock and a daily report at a low monthly price; a pharmacy or a restaurant needs features built for it. Compare price, offline selling and debt tracking, then try one free before paying.
Yes. Stawi Biz is free for 14 days with no card, on any plan.
No. Stawi Biz records sales and gives customers receipts, but it does not issue TRA fiscal receipts. If you are required to issue them, keep your EFD or VFD.
Not to start. Stawi Biz runs on an Android phone, where the camera reads barcodes. A computer, a scanner and a receipt printer can be added later.
Fourteen days free, no card. Sell with it and judge it by the evening report.
