**RUN YOUR SHOP WITH CONFIDENCE** You know the moment. A customer is at the counter, you're working out the change in your head, someone else wants to buy on credit, and by Friday you genuinely don't know whether the week was good or bad. My Spaza answers one simple question: **What is actually happening in my shop?** ### A TILL THAT KNOWS YOUR PRICES Scan a barcode and the product comes up with its name, price and stock level. No till-slip book. No calculator. No trying to remember what you paid last month. Products you scan for the first time can be looked up for you, so you don't have to type your entire shop in by hand. Add as many products as you need. ### THE CREDIT BOOK, WITHOUT THE BOOK Keep every customer who owes you in one place. See what they took, when they took it and how much they still owe. Set a credit limit for each customer so their account doesn't quietly grow beyond what you can afford. Overdue accounts are easy to spot, so you don't have to rely on memory. ### YOUR STAFF CAN SERVE WITHOUT YOUR PHONE Create up to five cashier accounts. Your cashiers can serve customers and process sales while you keep control of the money side of the business. Every sale records which cashier made it, giving you a clear record when something doesn't add up at the end of the day. ### KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY SOLD See today's sales, monthly takings and the products driving your shop. Compare your best sellers with products that aren't moving. Know what to buy more of — and what to stop buying. ### A WALLET FOR YOUR REGULARS Customers can keep money in their My Spaza wallet and use it to pay at your shop. They can also earn loyalty points and turn them into store credit. Give your regular customers another reason to keep coming back. ### YOUR SHOP, WHERE CUSTOMERS CAN FIND IT Create a digital page for your shop. Show customers what you sell, when you're open and where you're located. Add photos and short videos to give them a look inside your shop. ### IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE My Spaza supports 41 languages, including Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa and Sesotho. ### BUILT FOR YOUR MARKET View your prices, sales and reports in your supported local currency. ### MY SPAZA PRO Unlock the full My Spaza experience with: • Full POS and till features • Unlimited products • Credit book • Up to five cashier accounts • Sales and business reports • Inventory management and more **Monthly:** R49.99/month for your first 3 months, then R99/month **Yearly:** R999/year Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
