A sales and POS app for your shop, on your phone.
Sell from an Android phone, scan barcodes with its camera, and see sales, stock, expenses and customer debts wherever you are. Get it on Google Play, sign in with your phone number, and the same shop opens on a computer too.
The whole shop in your pocket.
Sell from the phone
Pick a product or scan its barcode with the camera, take cash, M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money or HaloPesa, and the sale is recorded.
The records write themselves
Every sale, expense and payment goes into the business records as it happens. No notebook to fill in at night.
Stock in your pocket
See what is left, what is running low and what came in today, without going to the shop.
Customer debts
See who owes you, how much and since when, and record the payment when they pay. On Starter plans and above.
Receipts on WhatsApp
The customer gets the receipt on WhatsApp when they pay, or you print it on a receipt printer.
Staff with their own PIN
Each member of staff signs in with the shop code and their own PIN, so every sale carries the name of whoever made it.
The app keeps selling.
A sale made with no signal is kept on the phone and sent when the connection returns. You can see what is waiting.
- A sale queue. Sales made offline queue on the phone and sync when the signal is back.
- Phone and computer, one shop. Sell on the phone, read the reports on a computer. It is the same account.
- What needs internet. Reports from other branches, the online dashboard and WhatsApp receipts.
What is a sales app?
A sales app is a phone application that records every sale as it happens and keeps the business records — sales, stock, expenses and debts — in one place. Instead of a notebook and a pen, you open your phone and see how the business stands right now.
Stawi Biz is a sales and record-keeping app built for Tanzanian businesses: shops, pharmacies, restaurants, salons and lodges. It is on Google Play for Android phones and tablets, and it also runs in a browser and on the counter computer. On an iPhone, use the browser; there is no iPhone app at present.
Who is it for?
- A shop owner who wants to see today's sales without waiting for closing.
- An owner who is not at the shop — stock and money are visible from anywhere.
- A business starting with only a phone, with no computer and no POS machine.
- An owner with several branches who wants them all on one phone.
The app is free to download. You pay for a plan.

Sales app questions, answered
Where do I get the Stawi Biz sales app?
On Google Play, for Android phones and tablets. Search for "Stawibiz", or open the Download page on this site.
Is the app free?
It is free to download and the first 14 days are free with no card. After that you choose a plan, from TSh 10,000 a month for a retail shop.
Can I sell without internet?
Yes. The app keeps sales made with no connection and sends them when it returns. Online reports and WhatsApp receipts need internet.
Does it work on an iPhone?
There is no iPhone app at present. On an iPhone, open stawibiz.co.tz in the browser and sign in with the same account.
Do I need a POS machine or a computer?
No. A phone is enough to start: its camera reads barcodes. A counter computer, a scanner and a receipt printer can be added later.
Which business records does the app keep?
Sales, payments, stock, expenses, purchases and customer debts. Each one feeds the day's report and the accounts without being typed a second time.
