FAQ

Common questions about Zeni POS, POS machines and M-Pesa in Kenya

Does Zeni POS work without internet?

Yes. Zeni POS is offline-first. If your fibre line or mobile data drops, you keep selling, printing receipts and recording stock movements on the device. Everything syncs automatically the moment you are back online.

Can Zeni POS accept M-Pesa payments directly?

Yes. Zeni POS integrates with Safaricom Daraja, so a customer can pay by M-Pesa STK push or paybill/till and the payment is matched to the sale automatically. No more comparing SMS confirmations against the cash drawer at closing time.

What businesses is Zeni POS suitable for?

Retail, restaurant and service businesses across Kenya: supermarkets and minimarts, pharmacies, bars and restaurants, salons and barbershops, hardware and electronics shops, wines and spirits shops and agrovets. Whether you run one duka or twelve branches, the same system scales with you.

Do I need special hardware to use Zeni POS?

No expensive terminal is required. Zeni POS runs on an Android phone, a tablet or any computer with a browser. If you already own a thermal receipt printer or a barcode scanner, we will connect them. If not, you can start with just the phone in your pocket.

How much does Zeni POS cost in Kenya?

Pricing depends on the number of tills, branches and staff accounts you need. We quote in Kenya shillings with everything included — setup, training and support — and no hidden per-transaction charges. Book a free demo and we will send a written quote for your exact setup.

Can I manage more than one branch or till?

Yes. Multi-branch and multi-till management is built in. You can see live sales for every shop, transfer stock between branches and compare branch performance from one dashboard on your phone.

Is my business data safe with Zeni POS?

Your data is encrypted in transit, backed up continuously in the cloud and protected by role-based access, so a cashier can only do cashier tasks. You keep ownership of your data and can export it at any time.

How long does it take to set up Zeni POS?

Most shops are selling on Zeni POS the same day. We help you import your product list and prices, set up tills and staff accounts, and train your team on site or over a call.

What is the best POS system in Kenya for a small shop?

The best POS for a Kenyan duka is one that runs on Android, takes M-Pesa on the sale, works offline, and is quoted in Kenya shillings without a fee on every transaction. Zeni POS is built for that brief — book a demo with your product list and compare it live.

Do I need a POS machine or POS software?

You need POS software. A dedicated POS machine is optional hardware. Zeni POS runs on a phone, tablet or computer and connects to the barcode scanner and receipt printer you already own.

Is Zeni POS an Android POS and a cloud POS?

Yes. Cashiers can sell on Android. Owners can open reports from any browser. Records sync to the cloud, and tills keep working offline when fibre or mobile data drops.

Does Zeni POS work in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret?

Yes. Zeni POS is a Kenya-wide point of sale system. We onboard shops in Nairobi and across the country remotely or on-site as scoped in your quote.

Can Zeni POS help with KRA eTIMS invoicing?

Yes. Zeni POS supports KRA eTIMS tax invoices through DigiTax, a KRA-licensed OSCU integrator. Sales from the till can be fiscalized so you are not hopping between a POS and a separate invoicing portal. We walk you through PIN, eTIMS onboarding and going live on the demo.

Does Zeni POS support barcode scanners and receipt printers?

Yes. Barcode-first checkout works with common USB and Bluetooth scanners used in Kenyan retail. Thermal receipt printers connect during setup. Neither requires a proprietary Zeni terminal.
