How much does a POS machine cost in Kenya?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

POS prices in Kenya range from a few thousand shillings for a basic terminal to much more for full systems, but you do not always have to buy hardware. With Veira the terminal is included on annual billing, so you pay a simple monthly subscription instead of a large upfront cost.

More detail

The sticker price of a machine is the wrong thing to compare. What matters is the total: hardware, software, eTIMS filing, support and whether stock and M-Pesa are included or charged separately.

A terminal included on annual billing on a monthly plan removes the upfront barrier that stops many dukas and small shops from going digital, and bundles eTIMS, M-Pesa and stock into one cost.
