The till rings.
The books balance.
Invoices, stock, and a point of sale for Zimbabwean small business — and underneath, real double-entry books that balance to the cent, in the currencies you actually trade in.
Fiscalisation built in — free, on every paid plan. No device to buy, no per-receipt fees.
invoices.
Invoice like you mean to be paid
Raise an invoice in a minute, send a link your customer can open on any phone, and let them submit proof of payment straight onto it. What’s owed, what’s overdue, and who to chase — always one glance away.
- Share links — no login needed to view or pay
- Part-payments, receipts, and ageing handled
- Quotes convert to invoices without retyping
stock.
Stock that counts itself
Scan a barcode and the product fills itself in. Every purchase raises your stock, every sale lowers it at true average cost, and anything running low puts its hand up before the shelf goes empty.
- Barcode scanning at the till and in the catalog
- Purchase orders, stock takes, and transfers between branches
- Reorder alerts on the products you choose
till.
A till that lives in the browser
Any tablet or laptop becomes a point of sale at till.wanika.online — no hardware to buy. Staff sign in with a PIN, not a password. Shifts open with a float and close with a counted drawer, so the money and the books agree every evening.
- Works with cheap ESC/POS receipt printers, straight from the browser
- Cash, EcoCash, card — mixed tenders on one sale
- Cash-up shows expected vs counted, per currency
books.
Underneath, real books
CheckBooks isn’t an invoice maker with a reports tab. Every sale, purchase, and expense posts a balanced double-entry journal — so your trial balance, income statement, and VAT return are always ready, not assembled at year-end.
- Trial balance, income statement, cash flow, ageing
- Locked periods — closed months stay closed
- Your accountant gets real ledgers, not exports to fix

zimra.
Fiscalisation and VAT, handled — at no extra charge
Receipts sign and submit to ZIMRA’s FDMS with the verification QR, at no extra charge — no fiscal device to buy. VAT follows suit: standard, zero-rated, and exempt lines each taxed correctly, and the return figures itself.
