How Small Businesses Are Boosting Sales with Just a Smartphone

What if your phone could do more than take calls, post updates, or scroll through social media?
What if it could power your business, accept payments, and grow your revenue, all without a single POS machine?
That’s exactly what many small business owners across Nigeria are discovering. From restaurant owners like Kishmeals to general merchants like SV Global Ventures, more entrepreneurs are switching to Nearpays SoftPOS, and they’re seeing real results.
This isn’t just another fintech story. It’s proof that technology can level the playing field for small businesses, helping them scale faster, spend less, and serve customers better; all with a smartphone in hand.
The Hidden Cost of Traditional POS Systems
For years, accepting digital payments meant one thing: getting a POS terminal. But traditional POS devices come with heavy baggage:
- High purchase or rental costs.
- Frequent downtime due to network issues.
- Maintenance fees and bank delays.
- Limited mobility, you can’t carry them everywhere.
For small business owners trying to scale or expand to new locations, these challenges add up quickly.
That’s where Nearpays comes in.
