Up and Running Fast
Easy to Set Up — Running in 1 Day
Most minimarts in Kenya are live on Nexlev Retail within one business day. Here is how the setup process works:
Step 1 — Product Setup (2-3 hours): Upload your product list via spreadsheet or enter products manually. If you already have a product list from a previous system, we import it for you. Most minimarts have 200 to 2,000 products — easily handled in a morning.
Step 2 — M-Pesa Connection (30 minutes): We connect Nexlev Retail to your existing M-Pesa Paybill or Till number. If you do not have one yet, we help you apply. STK Push is tested and confirmed before you go live. See our M-Pesa POS page.
Step 3 — eTIMS Registration (1 hour): We connect your KRA eTIMS credentials to Nexlev Retail. Every sale will auto-submit to KRA from the first transaction. See our KRA eTIMS POS page.
Step 4 — Cashier Training (30 minutes): We train your cashier on the spot. The POS interface is intuitive — scan, take payment, print receipt. Most cashiers are fully independent within 30 minutes. You are live and selling the same afternoon.
