What's New on MacoShop: MacoPay, an AI Assistant That Never Goes Dark, and More
By MacoShop Team • 2026-09-04 01:17:49MacoShop just got a lot bigger. Matatu and shuttle owners can now run MacoPay — passengers scan a QR code on the vehicle and pay their fare by M-Pesa automatically, priced per route and stage, with a conductor mode for anyone who can't scan. No cash float, no arguments over change.
For everyday shop owners, sales now keep working even with no internet — record a sale offline and it syncs the moment you're back online, with a toggle in your header if you'd rather it not queue at all. The AI Business Assistant got sturdier too: ask a plain-English question about your sales, stock, or customers and it answers from your real records, with a built-in backup so it keeps working even if the main AI is briefly unavailable — it never just goes silent.
If your business is more than a shop, there's now a real home for it: Hospital/Clinical, Hotel with delivery, Barbershop, and MajiNaGas (water & gas) each run as their own module with a free tier to get started and a paid plan when you outgrow it. And a single Scan-to-Pay QR code now lets any customer pay any amount by M-Pesa — no till number to remember. Log in and look around; most of this is already waiting in your dashboard.
