Frequently asked — South Africa
Why is pricing in USD, with Rand shown as approximate?
RetailPOS is invoiced in USD globally. The Rand amounts on this page are indicative based on the prevailing exchange rate; at sign-up the system charges in USD against your card or international bank account. For larger operators preferring direct ZAR invoicing via a local entity, Scale tier accommodates this.
How does SARS VAT integration work?
The till computes VAT at the standard 15% rate (or zero-rated / exempt where applicable). Receipts include VAT-compliant headers (your VAT number, the supplier details, line items with VAT, gross and net totals). The reporting endpoint exports VAT201 source data + supporting transaction detail for your VAT submissions via SARS eFiling.
SnapScan vs Zapper vs Yoco vs Stitch — which to use?
All four ideally, since customer preference varies by demographic + city. SnapScan and Zapper are the dominant SA QR-payment apps; Yoco is the dominant mobile-card-reader; Stitch is the open-banking + payments infrastructure underneath many modern integrations. Configure once at sign-up; the till offers all four as tender options. Fees vary by provider; verify current rates.
Does the POS survive load-shedding?
Yes — genuinely offline-first. Till runs from local state on your iPad / tablet; outbox-driven sync resumes when power + connectivity return. 48 hours offline is the design target. Stage 6 load-shedding (6-12 hour outages) doesn't break the till; budget a UPS for the receipt printer + iPad and you're operational.
How does RICA compliance work for SIM-bundled mobile shops?
For mobile shops bundling SIMs at sale, the POS captures customer ID + proof-of-address as part of the checkout flow, signs the RICA declaration, and stores the audit trail. The IMEI + SIM serial linkage and the RICA compliance record stay together for as long as your retention policy requires.
How does the free-until-100-sales work in Rand?
The 100-sale free tier applies regardless of currency. Once you hit your first 100 paid sales, you pick a plan. If you don't pick within 14 days, the tenant goes read-only but your data stays preserved indefinitely.
Can I run RetailPOS across SA + Botswana + Namibia branches?
Yes. Multi-currency is supported per-shop; SADC cross-border stock transfers handle via the in-transit state. Each branch operates under its country's tax registration (SARS for SA branches, BURS for Botswana, etc.); the tax engine routes correctly.
