Stockwaka POS · for the shop counter

Put Stockwaka on the shop counter

Your attendant sells from the computer. You keep running the shop from WhatsApp. Both write to the same stock book, so the numbers never disagree.

The counter app is rolling out shop by shop

Message us on WhatsApp and we will send you the installer and set your counter up.

Ask for the counter app

Works with the Stockwaka account you already have. Nothing to set up twice.

What it does

Built for a busy counter

Everything below keeps working whether the shop is online or not.

Scan, tap or speak

A plug-in barcode scanner works with no setup. No barcode? Tap the product, or hold the voice button and say the sale.

Keeps selling when NEPA takes light

The terminal holds its own copy of your stock. When the network drops it keeps recording sales, then syncs everything the moment you are back online.

Prints receipts and picking slips

Works with common 58mm thermal printers. No printer at the counter? It stays quiet and simply records the sale.

Online orders land at the counter

Orders customers place through your shop link appear on the terminal, so your attendant can fulfil them without waiting on your phone.

Setting up

Four steps, about five minutes

Done once per computer. You will not need a technician.

  1. Download and run the installer

    It installs in a few seconds and does not ask for an administrator password. A Stockwaka POS shortcut appears on the desktop.

  2. Send PAIR to Stockwaka on WhatsApp

    From the phone number that owns the shop. You get back a code that looks like ABCD-EFGH. It lasts 15 minutes and works once.

  3. Type the code into the terminal

    The terminal pairs to your shop and pulls down your product list, prices and stock levels. Do this once per computer.

  4. Add your attendants

    Send STAFF ADD Ada 1234 on WhatsApp to give an attendant their own 4-digit PIN. Every sale is then recorded against whoever is on the till.

Good to know

A few things before you install

Windows showed a blue warning when I opened the file

Tap “More info”, then “Run anyway”. Windows shows this for newly published apps until enough people have installed them. The file you downloaded from this page is the one we publish.

Do I have to reinstall when there is an update?

No. The terminal checks for updates on its own and installs them quietly in the background. You will not be interrupted mid-sale.

Can I put it on more than one computer?

Yes. Install it on each computer and send PAIR again for each one — every code works once, so each till gets its own. They all stay in sync.

What happens to sales made while the internet was down?

They are kept safely on the computer and sent up automatically once the connection returns. Nothing is lost and nothing is counted twice.

Still stuck? Message us on WhatsApp — a real person will walk you through it.

Your attendant can just say it

Hold the voice button and speak the sale — the same way you send a voice note. No typing, no training, no reading required.
