Buyer’s guide
How to choose a POS system in Kenya: 7 checks.
Most POS systems look the same in a brochure. These are the things that actually break in Kenyan shops, and how Cloudtrade handles each one.
1. KRA eTIMS on every sale
Since eTIMS became mandatory, a POS that cannot produce KRA-signed receipts is a liability. Cloudtrade signs each sale through eTIMS (add-on) and prints the KRA receipt number and QR code.
2. M-Pesa that confirms itself
Manual till numbers invite fake messages and screenshots. STK push sends the prompt to the customer’s phone and the sale only closes when the money is in, paid straight to your bank.
3. Till balancing you can trust
Each cashier opens with a float and closes blind. The system compares counted cash with expected cash, so shortages are on record the same day.
4. Real stock control
Stock takes, transfers, returns with approval and dispatch confirmation keep the number on screen equal to what is on the shelf.
5. Works on what you already have
Cloudtrade runs in the browser on a PC, tablet or phone. Add a receipt printer and scanner when you are ready.
6. One view of every branch
Sales, stock and profit from every branch on one live dashboard, with reports by hour, cashier and product.
7. Honest pricing, local support
From KES 1,000 a month, no setup fee, a 7-day free trial and a Nairobi team on WhatsApp.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best POS system in Kenya?
The best POS for a Kenyan business sends invoices to KRA eTIMS, confirms M-Pesa payments itself, balances every till, controls stock across branches and is priced for SMEs. Cloudtrade does all of this from KES 1,000 a month, and you can test it on 27 live Kenyan businesses before you decide.
How much does a POS system cost in Kenya?
Cloudtrade plans start at KES 1,000 a month (Starter), with Super at KES 2,000, Premium at KES 3,000 and Enterprise at KES 5,000. Yearly billing saves 25%, lifetime licences start at KES 75,000, and there is no setup fee. Hardware is optional because it runs in the browser.
Does Cloudtrade POS work with M-Pesa?
Yes. With the M-Pesa add-on the till sends an STK push to the customer, the sale closes when they enter their PIN, and the money is paid straight into your bank account. It works with most banks in Kenya.
Is Cloudtrade KRA eTIMS compliant?
Yes, through the KRA eTIMS add-on. Each sale is signed through eTIMS and the KRA receipt number and QR code print on the receipt.
Can I use Cloudtrade on a phone?
Yes. Cloudtrade runs in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, tablets and computers.
Do you offer in-person demos and setup?
Yes. Visit us in Westlands or we come to you in Nairobi and nearby towns. We also implement ERPNext and Odoo if you prefer those tools.
