Sound familiar?
Running a shop shouldn't be this hard
Most African shop owners are running their business on notebooks, WhatsApp threads, and guesswork. There's a better way.
Tracking stock in a notebook
You run out of products without warning and lose sales
Managing orders over WhatsApp
Messages get buried, customers get ignored, orders get lost
Buying stock alone from suppliers
You pay retail prices when you could be paying wholesale
No way to sell online
Customers outside your area can't find or order from you
If any of these sound like your shop, Salinker was built for you.
One app. All the tools to grow.
Built specifically for how African SMEs operate — on mobile, in fast-moving shops, with limited time.

Shop owners love Salinker
Real results from real shop owners across Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Africa.
Before Salinker I was using a notebook. Now I know exactly what's in stock at any time. My customers love the WhatsApp shop — orders come in while I sleep.
Chipo Moyo
Grocery Shop Owner · Harare, Zimbabwe
The group buying feature saved me almost 20% on my last hardware order. Being able to join with other shop owners makes a real difference to my margins.
Tendai Khumalo
Hardware Store Owner · Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Salinker is the best investment I have made for my shop. The POS is so easy even my part-time staff can use it after 5 minutes training.

Common questions
Things shop owners ask before signing up
Do I need internet or a laptop to use Salinker?
No laptop needed — Salinker runs entirely on your phone. You need basic mobile data to sync, but the POS works even when your connection is slow. Most shop owners in Zimbabwe and Zambia use it on standard data plans without any issues.
Is it hard to set up? My staff are not tech-savvy.
Most shop owners are fully set up within 30 minutes. The POS is designed so that any staff member can learn it in under 5 minutes — large buttons, simple screens, no complicated menus. We also walk you through setup on your free demo call.
What does it actually cost? Is the free plan real?
Yes, the free plan is real. You get the mobile POS, inventory tracking, 1 user account, and a basic WhatsApp shop link — forever free. Paid plans start at $15/month and unlock suppliers, group buying, and more users. No hidden fees, no contracts, cancel anytime.
How do my customers pay when they order online?
Right now customers place orders through your shop link and pay on delivery or pickup — cash or mobile money. Online payment integration (Paynow, EcoCash, Airtel Money) is coming soon. You can join the waitlist from your dashboard.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your data is yours. If you cancel, you can export all your products, sales history, and customer records as a spreadsheet before your account closes. We will never hold your data hostage.
