Pricing

Simple Rand pricing. No commission, ever.

Online and Retail tiers billed in Rand. Optional add-ons only when you need them. No commission on what you sell.

Online and Retail, explained

Flat monthly fee in Rand. Not a cut of turnover. Not a dollar invoice. What you sell stays yours.

Online covers your white-label web store. Retail adds in-store POS with offline sync, cash-up, barcodes, and shared stock.

Debtors and Consignment are optional on Retail. Setup is once-off, from R 3 000, quoted before work starts.

Our price stays the same whether you sell ten items or ten thousand. We do not take a cut of your sales.

You only pay 2% while you're small. Once your online sales pass R 60 000/month, we move you to flat pricing at R 1 500 so you never overpay as you grow.

How Starter works

1Pay R 300/month plus 2% of what you sell online.
2No in-store POS on Starter - it's for online sales we can measure.
3When you outgrow it (around R 60 000/month in online sales), we switch you to flat, zero-commission pricing automatically.
