Open your shop

Same wallet. Now people can pay you in it.

📱

First, can this phone tap?

A shop gets paid by tap, so we check the phone before you open one. It takes about 30 seconds and nothing is saved.

No tap? You can still open a shop.

Without tap (NFC) this phone cannot read wristbands or tags, so your shop sells none. Your customers pay you by:

a payment link you send them by SMS (R0.50 a message, R1.00 when it is paid)
the barcode on their Smart ID, scanned with this phone’s camera
their phone number, if they have a wallet

Want to take taps later? The PC reader kit (R499 once) makes a Windows computer a till with a tag reader and a PIN pad. Ask for it in your till.

This phone can tap — check it

Open your wallet first. Then tap Set up your shop again.

What kind of business is this?

First verify your ID A shop can be a registered company only once your ID is verified, so no one can use the name of a company that is not theirs. You must be one of the company’s directors (a member of a close corporation, a trustee of a trust). Verify your ID in your wallet, then come back to open your shop. Or open it as a sole trader now.

Shop name

Customers see this name when they pay you, and on the public shop list. Work from home? Leave your home address out of the name — a suburb is enough.

What do you sell?

The company, as on its CIPC certificate

You must be one of its directors (a member of a close corporation, a trustee of a trust): head office checks your verified name against the company’s papers.

Registered company name CIPC registration number

As on the registration certificate, for example 2019/123456/07. An older close corporation: CK1998/123456/23.

VAT number (if registered) Email for statements

Every payout to the company comes with a statement of the sales behind it, sent here. Once the shop is open you add the company’s bank account and documents.
