Why retail businesses in Kenya choose sell.ke
Most POS systems sold in Kenya are designed for international markets and retrofitted for local use. M-Pesa is added as an afterthought — often requiring a separate device or a third-party integration that breaks when Safaricom updates its API.
sell.ke was built in Kenya for Kenyan retail. M-Pesa confirmation happens inside the POS screen in under 5 seconds. KRA eTIMS receipts are generated automatically for every sale. The offline mode handles the power cuts and connectivity drops that happen in every shopping centre in the country.
For growing retailers with two or more branches, sell.ke's multi-branch dashboard gives you real-time visibility of stock, sales, and cashier performance across all locations — from your phone, wherever you are.

Retail POS Kenya — frequently asked questions
What is a retail POS system?
A retail POS (Point of Sale) system is software that manages your checkout counter — processing sales, accepting payments, tracking inventory, and generating receipts. Modern retail POS systems like sell.ke run in the cloud, meaning you access them from any device and see all your data in real time.
Can sell.ke handle a retail shop with many product lines?
Yes. sell.ke supports an unlimited product catalogue. You can organise products by category, brand, and supplier, and bulk-import them via CSV file. There's no limit on the number of SKUs.
Does the retail POS work for a shop with multiple branches?
Yes. sell.ke is built for multi-branch retail. Each branch has its own cashiers, stock, and reports, but you see a consolidated view across all locations from one head-office dashboard.
How does M-Pesa work at a retail checkout with sell.ke?
The cashier enters the sale total, the customer pays via M-Pesa on their phone, and sell.ke confirms the payment in under 5 seconds — directly on the POS screen. No separate M-Pesa device or manual SMS check needed.
Can I use my existing receipt printer and barcode scanner with sell.ke?
Yes. sell.ke works with standard thermal receipt printers and USB or Bluetooth barcode scanners. There's no requirement to buy sell.ke-branded hardware.
How much does sell.ke cost for a retail shop?
sell.ke retail POS starts from KES 2,500 per month for a single branch. Multi-branch plans are available. All plans include M-Pesa integration, KRA eTIMS receipts, and offline mode.
