Yes, Wé works for service businesses, not just shops that sell products. A barber, tailor, salon, car wash, or repair shop can list its services, ring them up like any sale, track which worker served each customer, and pay commissions, all on a phone and all offline.
Selling a service is not the same as selling a product
A product has stock that goes down with each sale. A service does not. When you give a haircut or wash a car, nothing leaves a shelf, so a normal shop app does not fit. Wé handles this directly:
- A service catalog with no stock. List your services once (haircut, shave, hem trousers, full car wash) with their prices.
- Set the price at the sale. For jobs that are quoted each time, like a tailoring order or a mechanic's repair, set the price to 0 and enter the real amount when you ring it up.
- Same fast checkout. Selling a service is the same two taps as selling a product, with a proper receipt at the end.
Sell services and products together
Many businesses do both. A salon sells haircuts and also sells hair products. A car wash sells washes and also sells air fresheners. In Wé you can switch your store to "Both", and the point of sale shows a simple toggle between your products and your services, in the same cart, on the same receipt.
You choose your business type in Store settings: Retail (products only), Service (services only), or Both. Switch any time as your business changes.
Track who served whom, and pay commissions
Service businesses live on their staff. Wé tags each sale to the worker who made it, so you can see exactly who served how many customers and brought in how much. You can set a commission rate per worker, and Wé totals what each one has earned, no more arguments at the end of the week.
Your salespeople work from their own phones, while you keep control of prices, services, and records. See how to add your salespeople and run your shop remotely.
Built for how you actually work
Like the rest of Wé, the service tools are built for Cameroon: they work offline so a slow network never stops a sale, they speak English and French, and customers pay by MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money, or cash, all recorded cleanly. Subscriptions are billed in XAF on Mobile Money, no card terminal needed.
And because every job is recorded, you finally know whether your service business is profitable, not just busy. See how to know if your business is actually making a profit.
The bottom line
If you sell your time and skill rather than goods, you still need clean records, fair staff pay, and proper receipts. Wé gives service businesses all three: a no-stock service catalog, per-worker tracking and commissions, and offline, bilingual, Mobile-Money-native checkout.
