Features
Everything you need to run your store
From your first online sale to your busiest day at the till — grouped by what actually matters to shop owners, not software jargon.
Sell online
A white-label store that looks and feels like your brand — not ours.
Your domain, your look
Customers land on your website with your logo, colours, and product photography — a proper shopfront, not a generic template.
Cart & checkout that converts
A smooth path from browsing to buying. Fewer abandoned carts, fewer phone calls asking how to pay.
Courier & PUDO delivery
Ship nationwide or let customers collect at a pickup point. Rates and labels without leaving Mercata.
Order notifications
Know the moment an order lands. Keep customers updated without living in your inbox.
Run the shop floor
A till that keeps up with Saturday rush — even when the Wi-Fi doesn't.
POS with offline sync
Ring up sales when connectivity drops. Transactions sync automatically when you're back online.
End-of-day cash-up
Close the till with confidence. See exactly what should be in the drawer before you lock up.
Returns & exchanges
Handle in-store returns without a workaround. Stock adjusts, customer history stays intact.
Barcode scanning
Scan products at the till instead of searching. Faster queues, happier Saturday customers.
Manage stock
One stock count for your website and your shelves — no more reconciling spreadsheets.
Unified inventory
Sell the last unit online and it's gone in-store too. No overselling, no awkward apologies.
Stock take from the till
Count what's on the shelf without clipboards and guesswork. Adjustments flow straight into your records.
Product admin that scales
Variants, pricing, and images in one place. Add a new line without re-entering it three times.
Low-stock visibility
See what's running thin before you run out. Reorder with time to spare, not in a panic.
Get paid
Checkout options your customers already trust — online and at the till.
PayFast checkout
Card, EFT, and instant EFT online — the payments South Africans actually use.
Apple Pay
Tap and go for customers on their phones. Fast checkout without fishing for a card.
Invoices & receipts
Professional invoices sent automatically. Customers get proof of purchase; you get a clean paper trail.
Debtors on account
Let trusted regulars buy now and settle later. Balances and statements without a separate ledger.
Market & engage
Promotions, events, and storytelling — built into the same system you sell from.
Vouchers & discount codes
Run a sale online and in-store with one code. No double-entry, no wondering which system honors it.
Events & gallery pages
Promote a market day, launch, or new collection on your site. Show the human side of your brand.
Sales analytics
See what's selling, when, and where — online vs in-store. Decisions based on data, not gut feel.
Consignment tracking
Sell on behalf of makers and track what's theirs, what's sold, and what's owed. No more consignment spreadsheets.
Stay compliant
The admin side handled — so you can focus on the shop, not the paperwork.
Automated invoicing
Tax invoices generated with each sale. Less manual work at month-end.
Order & payment history
Look up any transaction — online or in-store — in seconds. Useful for queries, returns, and audits.
Customer records in one place
Purchase history, contact details, and account balances together. No digging through three systems.
Hosted in South Africa
Your data stays local. Support in your time zone from people who understand how SA retail works.
See what it costs
Two simple tiers, billed in Rand. No commission on your sales — ever.
