Capabilities

Six e-commerce integration capabilities that eliminate manual sales reconciliation

E-commerce connectors in Mutual Africa Pay close the gap between your online store and your financial records — every sale flows through automatically, keeping accounts, inventory, and reporting always current.

🛍️
Shopify Integration

Connect your Shopify store to Mutual Africa Pay — every order, payment, and refund flows into your financial records automatically. Sales recorded by product, customer, and payment method. Inventory updated per sale. Revenue posted to the P&L in real time. No manual export from Shopify, no import into Mutual Africa Pay.

🛒
WooCommerce Integration

Connect your WooCommerce store to Mutual Africa Pay — the same automatic recording, reconciliation, and reporting that Shopify delivers, for businesses running WooCommerce on WordPress. Every WooCommerce order processed and recorded automatically.

📦
Automatic Inventory Updates

Every e-commerce sale reduces the relevant product inventory in Mutual Africa Pay automatically — keeping your stock levels current across both your physical and online sales channels simultaneously. Low-stock alerts trigger when products approach threshold, regardless of which channel the stock was sold through.

💰
Multi-Currency Sales Recording

E-commerce stores selling internationally receive payments in multiple currencies. Mutual Africa Pay records each sale in the transaction currency and converts to your reporting currency at the live exchange rate — giving accurate revenue reporting in your base currency regardless of which currency each customer pays in.

📊
Sales Reporting by Channel

View sales performance by channel — separating online and in-person sales in reports. Understand the relative contribution of e-commerce versus POS versus direct invoicing to total revenue. Channel-level reporting available without any manual categorisation or data segmentation.

🔄
Refund & Return Recording

E-commerce refunds and returns processed through your online store are recorded automatically in Mutual Africa Pay — reversing the original sale, updating inventory, and adjusting the P&L. No manual refund entries required, and refund patterns are visible in reporting.

How It Works

From online order to reconciled financial record — automatically

E-commerce integration in Mutual Africa Pay eliminates the manual reconciliation process that typically sits between an online store and an accounting system — orders flow directly from store to books without any intermediate step.

01

Connect your store

Link your Shopify or WooCommerce store to Mutual Africa Pay through the integration settings. The connection is authorised once and then operates automatically — no ongoing management required.

02

Orders flow in automatically

From the moment a customer places an order in your store, the sale begins flowing into Mutual Africa Pay. Payment confirmation triggers the full recording process — no manual check or import required.

03

Records created across all systems

The order is recorded as revenue in the P&L. Inventory reduces by the quantities sold. The payment is posted to the correct payment method account. All three updates happen simultaneously and automatically.

04

Reporting reflects online sales immediately

Sales reports in Mutual Africa Pay include e-commerce sales from the moment they are placed — giving real-time revenue visibility without waiting for a manual sync or overnight batch process.

Use Cases

How African e-commerce businesses use store integrations

E-commerce integration serves any African business with an online store — from pure e-commerce operations to omnichannel businesses selling both online and in-person.

Pure E-commerce

A Cape Town online retailer eliminates manual sales reconciliation

A clothing retailer operating exclusively online previously exported daily Shopify reports and manually entered sales into their accounting system — a process taking one to two hours every day. After connecting Shopify to Mutual Africa Pay, every order is recorded automatically. The daily reconciliation process no longer exists, and the owner has real-time sales and inventory visibility without any manual work.

Omnichannel Retail

A Johannesburg retailer manages online and in-store sales in one system

A retailer selling through a physical store and a Shopify online store uses Mutual Africa Pay to manage both channels simultaneously. POS sales from the physical store and Shopify orders from the online store both flow into the same accounting system — giving the owner a single, consolidated view of total business performance across both channels in real time.

Wholesale with Online Orders

A Lagos wholesaler accepts trade orders through WooCommerce

A wholesale business accepts trade orders from retail clients through a WooCommerce store. Every order is automatically recorded in Mutual Africa Pay as a trade sale, inventory is updated, and the client's outstanding balance reflects the new order immediately. The accounts team processes payments against the correct orders without any manual matching between the WooCommerce system and the accounting records.

Cross-Border E-commerce

A Nairobi seller collects in multiple currencies from across Africa

An e-commerce business selling handcrafted goods to customers across Africa and internationally collects payments in KES, USD, EUR, and GBP. Each currency transaction is recorded automatically in Mutual Africa Pay at the live exchange rate — consolidated P&L reporting in KES gives the owner an accurate view of total business performance without managing multiple currency spreadsheets.
