No. Orebia runs in the browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop you already have. A receipt printer and a barcode scanner help in a busy shop, but you can start without them.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Open app.orebia.com on your phone and choose “Add to Home Screen”. It then opens like any other app.
Does it work without internet?
Orebia needs a connection to record sales, but it uses very little data. Mobile data on a phone is enough.
Is M-Pesa connected automatically?
Not yet. The cashier records M-Pesa payments with the transaction code, and they show up separately in your reports and cash count.
I have two shops. Which plan do I need?
Duka covers one shop, and a second is KES 2,000 more, so two shops cost KES 4,000 a month in one account. From three shops, Biashara is cheaper and adds shifts, cash counts and accounting.
What happens after the 14 free days?
Pick the plan that fits and keep going. Everything you entered during the trial stays.
Can my staff see my profits?
Only if you let them. Cashiers see the till and their own sales. Managers see their shop. Directors see everything.
I already have my products in Excel. Do I start again?
No. Send us your list on WhatsApp and we will help you get it in.
