Running a tuck shop in Botswana

Tuck shops sell small quantities to neighbours every day.

Shops in Botswana, from tuck shops to hardware and general dealers, serve towns and villages where much stock comes from South Africa, so reordering on time matters. WhatsApp is the usual way to check prices and order.

  • Prices, receipts and reports in pula (BWP).
  • Keeps selling offline and syncs when you are back online.
  • The WhatsApp customer assistant answers customers, creates orders and sends receipts when you are busy.

What a tuck shop typically tracks in SaleTick

  • Rice, beans, flour and oil
  • Tinned food and noodles
  • Drinks and water
  • Soap and toiletries
  • Household essentials

What makes running a tuck shop hard

If you run a tuck shop, you will recognise these.

  • The day's money never adds up

    Small sales all day long are easy to miss in a notebook, and the takings rarely match what you expected.

  • "I'll pay you tomorrow"

    Customers buying on credit are tracked in a debt book that gets lost, torn or argued over.

  • You find out an item is finished when a customer asks

    Restocking by guesswork means empty spaces on fast sellers and money stuck in slow ones.

  • Someone else minds the shop

    When a family member or attendant is at the counter, you have no clear picture of the day.

How SaleTick helps your tuck shop

One system for selling, stocking, tracking and controlling your business.

  • Every small sale counts

    Each sale is recorded the moment it is made, with a report for any day, so you know exactly what came in.

  • Debts in one clear list

    Keep each customer and what they owe in SaleTick instead of a debt book. Already have a debt book? Snap a photo and import it.

  • Restock before you run out

    Low-stock alerts tell you what is running out, and reports show which items sell fastest.

  • Ask your shop from anywhere

    Send a WhatsApp message or voice note and get today's sales, profit and stock in the chat.

Features provision and grocery stores use most

  • Fast checkout

    Ring up sales without manual calculations, then confirm and the sale is recorded.

  • Customers and debts

    Keep your customer list and what each customer owes in one place, instead of a debt book.

  • Stock that updates itself

    Every sale reduces your stock automatically, so the number on screen matches the shelf.

  • Low-stock and expiry alerts

    Get warned before an item runs out or expires, not after it has cost you.

  • Sell by weight

    Sell and track stock by weight, for meat, fish, grains, loose produce and anything else you weigh out.

  • WhatsApp customer assistant

    When you are busy or away, SaleTick replies to your customers on WhatsApp: it answers enquiries, creates orders, and sends receipts and invoices.

  • Sales and profit reports

    See what sold, what you earned and your profit for any day. Profit and loss is calculated for you.

  • Works online and offline

    Keep selling when the network drops. Your records sync when you are back online.

Getting your products in is the easy part

You do not have to type your whole tuck shop into SaleTick by hand.

Bring your existing records

Import products, stock, customers and debts from Excel, CSV, a PDF or photos of your paper book. Review every row before it is saved, and undo within 7 days if needed.
