Qwili

Qwili is a digital sales platform for South Africa’s informal merchants and agents who sell value-added services and everyday products to customers using a smartphone as a point-of-sale device.

Key capabilities include:

• Wallet-based selling: merchants load a digital wallet using bank details, EFT, or cash deposit, then use the balance to process customer purchases and top up anytime.
• Catalogue of services and goods: sell airtime, data, electricity, gaming vouchers, bus tickets, TV subscriptions, plus selected appliances and fashion items.
• Earnings and payouts: merchants earn commission per sale, with commissions paid between the 1st and 6th of each month.
• Access and distribution support: app access can work without an email address; merchants without smartphones can buy a low-cost Qwili phone at cost, with discounts available based on transaction history. Partners can integrate services and use collection points across South Africa to support convenient pickups.

Available on Android (Google Play).

Target users include micro and small merchants, agents, and informal traders serving unbanked or digitally excluded customers, plus businesses that want to distribute services through an agent network.

Notable in South Africa for connecting digital services to local, in-person selling and pickups through a merchant network, helping bridge the digital-to-physical access gap in the informal economy.
