Kuda has expanded its Kuda Business Centre to live directly on its POS terminals, transforming the devices from simple payment collectors into full business management tools.
With the new Shop & Orders update, merchants can now view inventory, record sales, and manage orders directly on their Kuda POS without switching devices or relying on the Kuda Business app. The update helps businesses save time, simplify daily operations, and make faster sales right from the counter.
Before this update, merchants or their cashiers could only access inventory through the Kuda Business app and then push transactions to the terminal. Now, every step from selecting an item to recording payment happens on one screen.
“Our goal has always been to help small businesses operate more efficiently,” said Nosa Oyegun, SVP, Business Banking at Kuda. “With Shop & Orders, we are transforming the POS into a connected sales management tool that allows merchants to handle payments, track inventory, and manage orders in one place. It’s a practical way to help business owners focus less on administration and more on serving customers.”
This improvement is part of Kuda Business’s broader roadmap to build a complete commerce platform for Nigerian businesses. By integrating business management directly into the POS experience, Kuda is helping retail and food and beverage merchants move beyond fragmented workflows and manual reconciliation.
According to the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), small and medium-sized enterprises account for 96 per cent of businesses and 84 per cent of employment in Nigeria. Yet many of these businesses still rely on manual sales tracking, which slows growth and affects efficiency. Kuda’s new Shop & Orders feature bridges this gap by helping merchants digitise daily sales processes and run smarter, faster, and more connected businesses.
“Technology should make business easier, not harder,” added Nosa Oyegun. “By putting key management tools on the POS terminal itself, we’re giving entrepreneurs one reliable place to run their shops. This is how we see the future of business banking in Africa — integrated, intuitive, and built around how merchants actually work.”
The Shop & Orders feature is built especially for retail and food service businesses, including supermarkets, convenience stores, and restaurants that need quicker and simpler sales management, and it arrives at a time when small businesses are increasingly demanding more integrated digital tools.
While other POS providers focus on payments, Kuda’s POS terminals give merchants the smooth experience of selling, getting paid, and tracking all sales on one device.
The update is now available to all merchants using Kuda Business POS terminals.
