Blipply launches Express Checkout for street vendors without stock to track
Blipply has introduced Express Checkout, a new way for street vendors and mobile sellers who do not keep stock or operate from a fixed location every day to serve customers digitally. Built directly into Blipply’s smartphone-based POS in the merchant app, Express Checkout makes it quick and simple to charge customers while still building a customer list, financial context and profile for every transaction.
A simple way to stay in control
Express Checkout is fast, light and flexible. Vendors can collect payments instantly with just a few taps on their smartphone POS, without complicated menus, phone number input or the need to carry a mobile money sticker. It is ideal for sellers of items such as snacks, fruit, drinks or small household goods who move between markets, roadside stops or commuter hubs.
Safer and smarter than cash
Street vendors often work in exposed positions, carrying cash that is hard to manage and vulnerable to theft. Express Checkout removes the need for cash. Each sale is recorded digitally, helping vendors see total sales, track growth over time and plan ahead.
Building financial visibility and access to credit
Unlike cash or traditional mobile money transfers, every Express Checkout transaction builds a financial context. This creates a vendor’s customer list and financial profile, enabling access to future credit. Blipply’s intelligent system turns small daily sales into a trusted financial history and credit score, unlocking new opportunities.
Designed for emerging markets
Street vendors power everyday trade across Africa and other emerging markets. With Express Checkout, Blipply provides a tool built for their speed and mobility, helping them stay safe and strengthen long-term financial health.
Express Checkout is available now inside the Blipply Merchant app, where vendors can sign up in minutes and start selling and accepting payments through the smartphone POS.
