What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a art gallery
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a art gallery, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
An art gallery tracks artwork inventory by artist, valuation, display location and sale status. Art gallery margins come from commission on sales, typically 20-40%.
Artists and buyers need clear sale agreements and invoices. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
