Simplebks vs Bumpa: the comparison
Bumpa is a good way to start selling online. You get a website, a checkout and a POS app, and you can be taking orders the same day.
Simplebks is for the business that has grown past that. You have a shop floor, maybe a second branch, suppliers to manage and books that have to add up. Simplebks puts the till, the stock, the purchasing and the accounting in one app, so you aren't copying figures between tools at the end of the month.

FAQ
Can Simplebks handle a large retail store with several tills?
Yes. Simplebks runs multiple registers across multiple branches, with split payments, Moniepoint and OPay card terminals, a cash-up report for every register and supervisor approval for staff who lack permission for discounts, refunds and credit sales. Multiple branches are.
Does Simplebks do full accounting?
Yes. Every sale, purchase and expense posts to a double-entry ledger, so your balance sheet, trial balance and VAT and WHT reports are drawn from current books.
Does Simplebks build me a website like Bumpa?
No. Simplebks connects to a WooCommerce store you already run, pushing products, variants, categories and stock to it and bringing store orders into Web Orders, or to a custom website through its API.
Can my customers order from a menu I share online?
Yes. Publish your menu to get a QR code and a shareable link.
Can I sell or buy in dollars?
Yes. Record sales, invoices, purchases and expenses in a foreign currency. You enter the exchange rate by hand, and Simplebks posts the exchange gain or loss when the payment is settled.
Can I bring my Bumpa products into Simplebks?
Yes. Export them from Bumpa and use the Simplebks Excel or CSV import, which lets you match columns and preview before saving.
One app for the till, the stock, the suppliers and the books.
