Pay by mobile money
Most shoppers pay with EcoCash — but USD cash, Innbucks, ZiG and bank all work too.
We were running everything on a notebook and three WhatsApp threads. Customers would call and ask their balance — we'd promise to check and forget. Now every payment lands on the system the second it happens, the customer sees it on their phone, and we haven't argued about a layby once since we launched.
