The Free POS App That Takes M-Pesa — No Hardware Needed
Turn the phone in your pocket into a full till. Accept M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, cash or card, track every sale, and see exactly what you made today. Free to start, no card machine, no monthly fee.
10 free questions every month. No credit card required.
Most point-of-sale systems in Kenya were built for shops that can afford a terminal, a monthly subscription, and a bit of training. A free POS app that actually accepts M-Pesa on the phone you already own is rare — most of the ones people find first (Loyverse, Square, GoDaddy) don't support mobile money at all. AskBiz is built the other way round: mobile money first, hardware never. You open the app on any Android or iPhone, add your items or scan them with the camera, and take payment by M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN Mobile Money, cash or card. There is nothing to buy and nothing to install beyond the app, and the free plan is genuinely free — you can run real sales through it without ever entering a card.
Why 'free M-Pesa POS' is so hard to actually find
Search for a free POS in Kenya and you hit two walls. The global free apps — Loyverse, Square, GoDaddy — are genuinely free but have no M-Pesa, so you're stuck reconciling mobile money by hand. The local ones that do support M-Pesa usually want a terminal (KES 6,000–45,000 upfront), a monthly fee, or both, and 'free' turns out to mean a 14-day trial. For a stall owner, a kiosk, or a new business testing whether an app is even worth it, that's a dead end. You end up back in the notebook.
AskBiz is mobile-money-first and phone-first
AskBiz accepts M-Pesa, Airtel Money and MTN Mobile Money natively — the customer pays to your number, you confirm, and the sale is recorded against the right items automatically. No terminal to rent, no printer to buy, no reconciliation at the end of the day. It works on any phone, online or offline, and syncs when you get signal. The free plan lets you sell, track stock, and see your daily takings; you only pay if you want the extras like unlimited AI questions, multi-branch, or team seats. It's the tool the global free apps can't be in East Africa, without the hardware the local ones demand.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Built for business owners, not data scientists.
Take mobile money natively — the payment is matched to the sale and your daily total, no manual reconciliation.
Scan a barcode or snap a product photo to add items. No barcode gun, no separate scanner to buy.
Run real sales on the free plan with no card and no trial countdown. Upgrade only when you want more.
Keep selling when the network drops. Sales are saved on the phone and sync automatically when signal returns.
Every sale is logged cleanly so your records are ready when it is time for eTIMS, VAT, or your accountant.
See takings, top sellers and low stock at the end of each day — not weeks later in a spreadsheet.
