Sell electricity and water
Selling water and electricity is a great way to increase foot traffic into your store, and an additional way that you can serve your community.
By turning your Woza Plus shop into a recharge station, not only do you get more use out of your Woza Plus machine, you also open a new revenue stream for your business. According to the STS Association (a system for carrying information between point-of-sale devices and customers’ utility meters), there are more than 10 million registered electricity and water meters in South Africa.
Of these 10 million units, 7 million are managed directly by SAs energy provider, Eskom. Woza Plus gives you the ability to sell much needed electricity and water to these 10 million meters.
At Woza Plus we understand just how important the local spaza shop can be for communities. We’ve also made it possible for homes that qualify, to claim their Free Basic Electricity (FBE). Simply ask your Woza Plus merchant to access the service but note that it’s only for distribution within select municipalities, allowing vendors to cater to those who might need the service.
In addition to FBE, Woza Plus merchants can also offer their customers the option to buy Easy power, which allows customers to buy electricity even when Eskom is down. While these services are much needed throughout the country, only Woza Plus merchants within certain municipalities can make use of these services.
Selling water and electricity vouchers on a Woza Plus machine is easy, regardless of the Woza Plus device you use.
