Dukka’s POS terminal is designed to enable small business owners to accept all types of cash and digital payments methods such as card and bank transfers in-store and online, record sales, and view business performance reports.
This innovation is revolutionary at a time in the industry when the Federal Government of Nigeria is pushing its cashless policy. Unsurprisingly, there has been a surge in the number of business owners demanding Dukka’s POS terminals ahead of its launch.

The smart POS terminal captures transactions instantly whilst enabling small merchants to accept payments from customers in-store and online. Since inception, Dukka has onboarded over 200,000 small business owners across all 36 states in Nigeria, likewise Ghana and some other countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the United States, with a significant number of small business owners attesting to the ease of use. Dukka is helping small business owners across 15 business categories, to manage their bookkeeping on a daily basis.
Dukka’s POS terminals are rich with incredible features such as the ability to sell goods and receive instant payments, update inventory, generate receipts and invoices, evaluate daily business performance, and pay suppliers via bank transfers, all from the POS terminal.
Dukka has continued to experience a month-on-month increase in positive feedback from merchants, which is a testament to the value small businesses are deriving from using Dukka’s product and services.

POS transactions in Nigeria jumped to N4.6 trillion in the first seven months of 2022. And it is expected that the market will pick up again after the cash crunch that hit PoS operators following the recent naira redesign policy that affected the market.
