Harare · Live Merchant Pilot

POS for Harare shops that starts on the phone in your pocket.

From the CBD to Mbare Musika, Siyaso, Avondale, and the suburbs, Harare merchants are running their counters with cash, EcoCash, and notebooks — all in USD and ZiG. Swipee turns that into one phone till with live stock control and daily profit.

Harare is where Swipee is built — and where our first merchant pilot is live. We designed the till around the realities of a Harare counter: dual-currency pricing, occasional load-shedding, busy market queues, and stock that moves in crates, grams, and reams.

Ring up a sale by item or amount, switch between USD and ZiG in a single transaction, and scan barcodes with the phone camera. The same sale updates your stock ledger, so a tuckshop in Highfield and a boutique in Borrowdale both know exactly what they have on the shelf.

You do not need a bank merchant account or an imported terminal to start. Create a free account, open the till on your phone, and take your first cash sale today. If you are in Harare, our field team can onboard you in person as part of the pilot.

A Harare till without the Harare hurdles

Frequently asked questions

Where in Harare can I get POS help?

Swipee's pilot covers urban Harare, including the CBD and surrounding suburbs. Create an account and our Harare field team can help you onboard and set up your first till in person.

Does the Harare POS work during load-shedding?

The till is built for intermittently connected counters. Sales queue on the phone and sync when the network is back, so you keep selling through outages without losing records.

Can I use Swipee for a market stall in Mbare or Siyaso?

Yes. The amount sale keypad is built for fast market counters — type the amount, take the money, and hand over a receipt in seconds, while stock updates automatically.

Do I need to bank to use a phone till in Harare?

No. You create a free merchant account with your phone number. Transaction rails and cash access are added later through licensed financial partners and announced in advance.

Is the Harare pilot really free?

Yes. Cash till, stock, and the owner dashboard are free for pilot merchants. You only pay when a digital payment rail you approve is switched on for your account.
