SMS remains Ghana's most democratic channel — it needs no smartphone, no data bundle and no app, and it gets read. A POS that speaks SMS turns every sale into a touchpoint and every customer file into a marketing asset.
SellarPro sends receipts, payment confirmations and campaign messages by SMS, straight from the same system that made the sale.
How SellarPro handles this
SellarPro brings sales, inventory, purchasing, customers and reporting into one system. You record a sale in seconds, stock levels update automatically across every branch, and the dashboard shows profit — not just revenue — in real time.
- Fast POS checkout with barcode scanning and receipt printing
- Live stock levels with low-stock alerts and reorder reports
- Purchases, suppliers and cost tracking in the same system
- Daily sales, profit and expense reports on any device
- Works offline at the counter and syncs when connectivity returns

What SMS does inside SellarPro
Receipts by text
Customers without WhatsApp or smartphones still get instant proof of purchase — essential for rural trade and older customers, and cheaper than paper over time.
Payment and balance notifications
Credit customers get a text when a payment is recorded and can be reminded of balances — collections improve when reminders are automatic and unemotional.
Campaigns to your real customers
The customer list your till builds is segmented by actual purchase behaviour. New stock arriving, a weekend promo, a restock reminder — bulk SMS reaches the people who already buy from you.
Owner alerts
Daily summary texts keep an owner informed even when they never open the dashboard.
The price of doing nothing
Every week without pos with sms notifications has a specific cost: the disputes you settle by giving in, the stock you reorder late or twice, the hour each evening spent reconstructing what the system would have recorded automatically. Owners consistently underestimate this cost because it arrives in small, daily doses — until they see the first month of reports and can finally put a number on it.
Six things to check before choosing business software
- Offline selling. Ask the vendor exactly what happens at the till when the internet drops. "It keeps selling and syncs later" is the only good answer.
- Cedis, not dollars. If the price is quoted in USD, your software cost changes every time the exchange rate does. Insist on GHS billing with published prices.
- Mobile money as a first-class payment. If MoMo has to be recorded as "cash" or "other", daily reconciliation will never be clean.
- Role-based staff accounts. Cashiers should not see cost prices or profit; managers should not need your login. Shared passwords end audit trails.
- Support you can reach. WhatsApp and phone support in Ghanaian hours — test it before you pay by sending a question and timing the reply.
- Your hardware, not theirs. Standard barcode scanners and thermal printers sold in Ghana should just work; proprietary hardware is a lock-in tax you pay at every expansion.

How to get set up
- Create your account. Register online in a few minutes — no card required to start.
- Set up your products. Import your product list from Excel/CSV, or add items with prices, barcodes and opening stock.
- Add your team. Create cashier and manager accounts with role-based permissions so staff only see what they need.
- Start selling. Ring up sales on a laptop, desktop, tablet or phone; print or WhatsApp receipts to customers.
- Watch the numbers. Daily sales, profit and stock reports arrive on your dashboard automatically.
Our onboarding team walks you through setup on WhatsApp or a call — most shops are selling on SellarPro the same afternoon they sign up.
What your first week looks like
Day one is about getting live, not getting perfect: import or enter your fastest-moving products, set prices, create logins for anyone who sells, and put through the first genuine sale. Perfection can wait; the record-keeping starts today.
Days two to four are where discipline pays. All sales through the till, all expenses recorded at the moment they leave the drawer, credit sales against named customers. The reports are only as honest as the inputs, and this is the week that honesty becomes routine.
By day seven you have your first real weekly report: sales by product, profit after costs, expense totals, and the first surprises. Almost every owner finds at least one — a product selling at a loss, an expense category nobody was watching, a staff pattern worth a conversation. That first surprise usually pays for the year's subscription.
What the dashboard tells you every day
- Daily sales summary — the day's takings by payment type, ready at closing. Cash in the drawer either matches it or you know exactly what to ask about, tonight rather than at month end.
- Dead-stock report — items that have not sold in 30, 60 or 90 days: your capital, parked on a shelf, with the release form attached.
- Debtors (credit) report — who owes what, and for how long. The oldest balances rise to the top, which is exactly the order collections should happen in.
- Expense breakdown — the month's spending by category. The first month's version is routinely the most surprising document a business owner has ever read about their own shop.
- Low-stock list — everything below its reorder level, effectively your next restocking trip written for you before you knew you needed it.
Each report is a tap away on any device, built automatically from the selling you were doing anyway.

Four traps to step around
- Letting exceptions breed. The sale rung "later", the expense paid from pocket, the credit given without recording — each exception invites the next. The rule that saves the system: if it happened, it goes in.
- Running two systems "just in case". Keeping the notebook alongside the software means neither is trusted and both are half-maintained. Commit for two full weeks — the doubt resolves itself.
- Importing a dirty product list. Duplicated items and vague names ("blue one big") follow you into any system. Spend an hour cleaning the Excel file first; the onboarding team will help free of charge.
- Skipping opening stock. Without accurate starting quantities, the first stock report looks wrong and confidence dies early. Count what you have before go-live — even approximately — and correct at the first stock-take.
Built here, for here
- Built for Ghana. GHS pricing, VAT/GRA-aware receipts, and workflows that match how shops here actually trade.
- Offline-capable. Keep selling when the network drops; everything syncs when you are back online.
- Human support. WhatsApp, phone and email support from a team in Accra — not a ticket queue in another timezone.
- All-in-one. POS, inventory, purchases, expenses, customers, staff and reports in one subscription instead of five tools.
- Grows with you. Start with one till and scale to multiple branches, warehouses and an online storefront without changing systems.
