Takes card machine payments
The amount goes from the till to the terminal, so the cashier never types it twice.
POS and MRA EIS invoicing for Malawi retail
One till takes the sale and the card payment, updates the stock and sends the invoice to MRA EIS. Each invoice’s state shows beside its sale.
Till 210:42
Card approved, MWK 54,250
Five POS steps from sale to report
Each step hands its result to the next, so nobody types the same sale twice and the day’s report agrees with the till.
This workflow is a concept. Live behaviour depends on the current MRA requirements, the payment provider and the hardware in use.

POS checkout for a busy counter
The cashier scans, takes the payment and prints the receipt on one screen. Prices, stock and VAT come from the same record.
- Each cashier sees only the screens their role allows.
- Every sale takes its items off the stock count.
- The day’s figures close by till and by cashier.
Card machines tied to the sale. The terminal and the till agree on what happened.

Approved, declined and cancelled payments each show plainly, with the terminal reference kept on the sale.

Questions about POS and EIS
What shop owners ask about the till and the invoices.
Ask your own question
Which card machines work with the till?
That depends on the payment provider and the terminal model. We check both in the consultation, before planning the build.
Can the POS keep selling without internet?
We plan for it: sales go on, invoices wait in a queue and are sent when the line returns, within the current MRA rules.
Can the POS handle returns and corrections?
Yes. Returns, voids and corrections are mapped in the first step, so each one produces the right document.
What do you need to start a POS project?
A walk through the counter, a list of what you sell and how customers pay, and the person who closes the day.
Is this POS flow running in shops today?
What this page shows is our design for the flow. Your build follows your scope, your provider and the current MRA requirements.
