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
   Ask the customer to pay through your normal EcoCash, OneMoney, InnBucks, or other wallet channel.
2. 2
   Confirm the amount in that wallet or its merchant confirmation.
3. 3
   Build the basket or type the amount in Swipee.
4. 4
   Tap Charge → Mobile Money.
5. 5
   Confirm the sale.

Why the reference matters

The current Mobile Money screen does not have separate wallet and confirmation-reference fields. Keep the provider's reference with your till paperwork. For keypad sales, you can choose Add note before charging and put the reference there.

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 Swipee receipt for the recorded sale.

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.
