Record a mobile money sale

Mobile money is how a large share of Zimbabwean trade happens, so Swipee records it as a first-class payment method.

Record the sale

1. 1
   Build the basket or type the amount.
2. 2
   Tap Charge.
3. 3
   Choose Mobile money.
4. 4
   Select the wallet the customer used.
5. 5
   Enter the reference from the confirmation message, if you have one.
6. 6
   Confirm.

Why the reference matters

The reference is the thread between your Swipee record and the money in your wallet. Enter it and month-end reconciliation becomes a matching exercise rather than a memory test. It appears on the receipt and in the transaction detail.

What Swipee does with it

• Records the sale with method MOBILE_MONEY.
• Removes the items from stock.
• Adds it to your takings and reports for the day.
• Produces a receipt.

What Swipee does not do yet

• It does not send a payment request to the customer's wallet.
• It does not verify that the money arrived.
• It does not settle the money into your Swipee balance.

Fees

No Swipee fee applies to a recorded mobile-money sale, because Swipee did not process the payment. Your wallet provider's own charges still apply as normal. When a live rail is connected, the fee and the settlement will be shown to you before anything changes.
