## Questions

- [What is Tapstall?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): Tapstall is a store link for small shops: a customer taps it, picks from the menu and pays the exact amount, and the order arrives in a dashboard the shop owns.
- [How much does Tapstall cost?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): It is free for 60 days with no card. After that it is $7 a month or $60 a year, or R129 a month or R999 a year in South Africa.
- [Which payments does Tapstall work with?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): The shops it is built for use EcoCash, InnBucks, PayShap and ZIPIT, alongside ordinary bank transfers.
- [Does Tapstall take a commission?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): No. There is no order cap and no commission; the shop keeps its own order data and can export it to its own Google Sheet.
- [How long does it take to open a store?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): About 90 seconds: put the menu in, share the link, and start taking orders from the chat apps the shop already sells in.
- [Does a customer need to install an app?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): No. The store is a page behind a link, so it opens in whatever browser the customer already has.
- [Why not just use Shopify?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): Shopify and the platforms built for Silicon Valley assume cards, couriers and a checkout flow that many shops in Zimbabwe and South Africa do not have. Tapstall is built around local payment rails and chat-based selling.
- [Who is Tapstall for?](https://tapstall-v2.zlnew.workers.dev/facts.json): Small retailers and social sellers in Zimbabwe and South Africa, especially those taking orders through WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram.
