What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a toy shop
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a toy shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A toy shop carries many small items across a wide range, so variant tracking by age and type matters. Toy margins are moderate but dead stock from passing fads erodes them.
Schools and institutions need compliant invoices for bulk toy purchases. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
