What works in South Africa today
Everything below is shipped and live. You install it tomorrow.
Cloud POS that works offline
Android, progressive web app, and Windows desktop. The till keeps ringing when the network drops, and syncs when the line comes back.
Multi-store and multi-terminal
One dashboard, every location. Products, prices, staff, and reporting roll up across shops in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban or anywhere else in South Africa.
Inventory, transfers, suppliers
Full stock control, low-stock alerts, multi-location transfers, purchase orders, and supplier ledgers.
Kitchen Display System
For restaurants: orders flow to the right station, prep times surface on the screen, KDS-to-front-of-house in one product.
Loyalty and customer management
Basic loyalty is live everywhere. WhatsApp-native loyalty is in Mauritius pilot, and opens to other countries as rails land.
Receipts that print today
Mauritius MRA format prints today on any thermal printer. SARS-ready receipt format lands as part of the work below.
Free plan, forever
Solo operator, core POS, offline mode, receipt printing. No card to start. Paid plans from $12 on the emerging-markets tier.
Billing in USD via Paddle
Worldwide Visa and Mastercard. 14-day Growth trial included on paid plans. No setup fee, cancel any time.
WhatsApp support in English
You message a real person, not a ticket queue. Onboarding by call when you need it.
What we are building next for South Africa
From “works in South Africa” to “ready for your accountant in South Africa.”
Local fiscal
SARS-ready receipt format
This is the work that turns Posterita from “works in South Africa” into “ready for your accountant in South Africa.” Receipt formats, e-invoice formats, and periodic returns where they apply. Sign up on the Free plan today and you are first in line.
Local payment rails
At the till and for customer billing in ZAR. The till takes cash today; the rails above are what we are wiring in.
Language packs
English is the working language in South Africa retail and finance. We do not need a language pack for this market.
We are talking to merchants in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban to make sure the rollout fits how South Africa shops actually run, not the way a generic SaaS thinks they should.
Pricing
Plain pricing for South Africa. In USD at billing, in ZAR at the till.
Posterita prices in South African rand at the counter; the subscription bills in USD via Paddle (emerging-markets tier for South Africa). The Free plan is free everywhere we operate.

Questions South Africa shops actually ask
Five honest answers.
Does Posterita work in South Africa today?
Yes. Multi-store, offline-first POS is live for any shop or restaurant in South Africa that signs up. SARS-ready receipt format and Peach Payments, Yoco, iKhokha, SnapScan, and Zapper are the country-specific work we are landing month by month.
Will my ZAR receipts be SARS-ready-compliant on day one?
Not on day one. SARS-ready receipt format is in active development. Today the till prints Mauritius MRA format on any thermal printer, which is legible and signed but not the local format. Sign up on the Free plan to be first in line when the local format lands.
Can I use my own payment terminal?
Yes, on the till side. Cash today; Peach Payments, Yoco, iKhokha, SnapScan, and Zapper are the rails we are wiring in. If you have an existing terminal that prints its own slip, you keep ringing on Posterita while we land the integration.
How do I get billed?
In USD via Paddle, with worldwide Visa and Mastercard. The Free plan is forever-free. Paid plans get a 14-day Growth trial, no card up front, applied automatically to the regional tier of the country you sign up from.
What if I have several shops across South Africa?
Group them under an Organization on the Business plan. Shared customers, shared product catalogue published to each shop, inter-store stock transfers, unified loyalty across brands, and a portfolio dashboard for the owner. Staff stay scoped to their assigned shop.
