Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Yes, completely. Katemba is built offline-first. You can process sales, scan barcodes, issue receipts, and manage products with zero internet connection. All data saves locally on your device and syncs to the cloud automatically when you reconnect. Load shedding will not stop your business.

Katemba supports MTN Mobile Money (096x numbers), Airtel Money (097x), and Zamtel Kwacha (095x). When a customer chooses mobile money at checkout, they receive a USSD push notification on their phone to approve the payment. No card machine, no extra app, no physical device required.

Yes. Your whole team can log into the same business account on multiple phones or tablets simultaneously. Each staff member uses their own PIN to sign in, and all sales sync in real time across devices when connected to the internet.

Payment is made via mobile money directly from the app. No need to visit a bank or buy a voucher. Go to Settings → Upgrade to Professional, enter your mobile money number, and approve the USSD prompt. The plan is ZMW 225 per quarter (3 months).

Yes. Your data is stored on enterprise-grade infrastructure (Supabase on AWS), encrypted in transit via HTTPS, and encrypted at rest. Row-level security ensures only your authenticated team can access your business records. Staff see only what their role permits.

Absolutely. The Starter plan is free forever. No trial period, no time limit, no credit card. Use it as long as you need. Upgrade to Professional only when your business grows and you need more stores, unlimited products, or advanced features.

Your data belongs to you. Export all your transaction history as a CSV file from the Settings screen at any time. If you close your account, your data is permanently deleted from our servers within 30 days.
