Question 1

Does the M-Pesa integration work with my till number or paybill?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Configure your Daraja credentials once and the checkout pushes an STK prompt to the customer's phone; the confirmation attaches to the sale. Without Daraja, the cashier keys in the confirmation code from the customer's SMS and the sale is matched the same way.

Question 2

What happens to sales made during a power cut?

Accepted Answer

They are saved on the device the moment they are rung up and sync automatically when power and data return — with the same receipt numbers, in sequence. Nothing is lost and nothing is duplicated.

Question 3

Is NodePoint KRA eTIMS compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NodePoint files with KRA eTIMS through DigiTax, a KRA-approved eTIMS integrator. Every sale, restaurant bill, hotel folio and invoice is submitted as it settles, the receipt carries KRA's receipt number, signature and QR code, and voids and refunds file credit notes. Enter your KRA PIN and branch in Settings, request activation, and fiscalised receipts switch on.

Question 4

Does it run Kenyan payroll?

Accepted Answer

Yes — PAYE, NSSF and SHIF deductions are built in, with payslips per run. This is the one market where statutory payroll is fully supported today.

Question 5

Does it work with M-Pesa in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

M-Pesa is built in: push an STK prompt from the checkout or key in the confirmation code, and the payment attaches to its sale automatically.

Question 6

What does Retail POS cost in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Subscriptions in Kenya are billed in Kenya shillings. Every account starts with a seven-day free trial with the full product — no payment required. See the licence card above for the monthly and annual price.

Question 7

Can I use it in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and outside the city?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it is web-based and works on any phone, tablet or computer, and sales keep recording on the device when the network drops, then sync when it returns. Upcountry connectivity is the case it was designed for.

Question 8

How much does POS software cost in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

NodePoint Retail POS is KSh 1,000 a month or KSh 12,000 a year in Kenya, with unlimited tills, cashiers and branches on one licence — there are no per-terminal or per-user fees to model as you grow. Outside Kenya it is $8 a month. Every account starts with a seven-day free trial and no payment is required.

Question 9

Does the POS work without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The architecture is offline-first: sales are saved on the device and synced automatically when the connection returns, with receipt numbers in sequence. A power cut or a dead SIM does not close the till, and nothing queued is lost or duplicated.

Question 10

How does the M-Pesa integration work?

Accepted Answer

It is native, not bolted on. With your Daraja credentials configured, the checkout pushes an STK prompt to the customer's phone; alternatively the cashier keys in the confirmation code from the customer's SMS. Both attach the payment to its sale automatically and reconcile against your statement.

Question 11

Can it run a multi-branch operation on one account?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is the design. Stock is tracked per branch, staff have their own PINs, and reports roll up per branch or across the business, so head office keeps centralized control while each location runs its own tills. One licence covers every location and device, anywhere in Kenya's 47 counties and beyond.

Question 12

What hardware do I need?

Accepted Answer

None to start. The till runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Thermal receipt printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers are supported when you want them — so a rollout is a login, not a procurement cycle.
