Sell.ke Smart POS Terminal
Android handheld with a built-in receipt printer — your shop in one hand
A handheld Android 13 POS terminal with a thermal receipt printer built into the top, so one device takes the order, takes the payment and prints the receipt. It runs sell.ke in the browser, holds a charge through a power cut, and keeps selling on sell.ke's offline mode when the network drops. The cheapest way to put a full till in the hands of a market trader, a delivery rider or a waiter taking orders at the table.

Sell.ke All-in-One POS Computer
Touchscreen counter till — the whole computer behind the screen
A touchscreen all-in-one POS computer for the counter: the machine is built into the back of the display, so a till takes one plug and one footprint instead of a tower, a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse. It ships on Windows with sell.ke set up, and takes a standard 80mm receipt printer, a USB barcode scanner and a cash drawer — ordinary peripherals you can replace from any Nairobi dealer rather than a locked-down vendor's parts list. Four configurations from Core i3 to 8th-generation Core i5.

Which machine is right for you
The question is not how powerful the machine is — it is whether the till stays still. If your selling happens across a counter, buy the All-in-One POS Computer: a bigger touchscreen is faster to work on all day, and mains power is not a constraint where there is already a counter. The 3rd-generation Core i5 at KSh 35,500 is the default pick, because it is KSh 500 more than the Core i3 for a faster processor.
If the selling moves — a market stall, a delivery round, a waiter at a table, a stand at an event — buy the Smart POS Terminal. It runs on battery, prints its own receipts, and at KSh 25,500 costs less than a counter till plus a separate printer.
Shops that do both usually end up with one of each: the counter till as the main point of sale, and a terminal that goes out on deliveries and comes back to the same stock count. Because sell.ke is one system across every device, a sale on either one draws down the same inventory and lands in the same report — see the full hardware guide for the printers, scanners and drawers that go around them.
Buying POS hardware in Kenya — frequently asked questions
How much does a POS machine cost in Kenya?
From sell.ke, KSh 25,500 to KSh 45,000 (approximately $196–$346) depending on the machine. The Smart POS Terminal — a handheld Android device with a receipt printer built in — is KSh 25,500. The All-in-One POS Computer, a touchscreen counter till, runs from KSh 35,000 for the Core i3 to KSh 45,000 for the 8th-generation Core i5. Those are the full hardware prices, not a deposit, and the sell.ke software subscription is separate.
What is the price of the Sell.ke Smart POS Terminal?
KSh 25,500 — about $196 — for the V2 Pro: Android 13, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage and a thermal receipt printer built into the top of the device. It is the cheapest complete till sell.ke sells, because it needs no second device to print a receipt.
What specifications do the Sell.ke All-in-One POS Computers come in?
Four. Core i3 with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD at KSh 35,000; 3rd-generation Core i5 with the same memory and storage at KSh 35,500; 5th-generation Core i5 at KSh 38,000; and 8th-generation Core i5 at KSh 45,000. Every configuration has 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD — the processor generation is the only difference, and it decides how briskly the screen responds at a busy counter.
Which POS machine should I buy for a small shop in Kenya?
If the till stays on a counter, buy the All-in-One POS Computer — the 3rd-generation Core i5 at KSh 35,500 is the sensible default, because it costs KSh 500 more than the Core i3 for a faster processor. If you sell at a market, on a delivery round or at tables, buy the Smart POS Terminal at KSh 25,500 instead: it prints its own receipts and runs on battery.
Do I have to buy hardware from sell.ke to use the software?
No. sell.ke runs in any modern browser, so a tablet, laptop or desktop you already own works, and plenty of shops start that way. Hardware is sold here because buying a till and the software from the same place means it arrives set up, with your products already loaded — not because the software needs it.
Does the price include the sell.ke software subscription?
No. Hardware is a one-off purchase; the sell.ke subscription is billed monthly and starts at KSh 1,499. Every new account gets a 14-day free trial, so you can run the software on a device you own before deciding which machine to buy.
Are the prices in US dollars exact?
No — the dollar figures on this page are indicative, converted at approximately KSh 130 to the dollar so an international reader can size the price. The hardware is stocked, sold and delivered in Kenya, and invoiced in Kenyan shillings. The shilling price is the one we hold.
Can I use a receipt printer, scanner or cash drawer I already own?
Yes. The All-in-One POS Computer has standard USB ports and an RJ11 cash-drawer port through the printer, and sell.ke drives standard ESC/POS thermal printers over USB and Bluetooth — which covers most of what is sold in Nairobi. Send the model to support on WhatsApp before you commit and they will confirm it.
How do I order, and do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Message +254 706 736 012 on WhatsApp with the machine and configuration you want. Delivery is countrywide — Nairobi usually same or next day, the rest of Kenya through a courier. Payment is by M-Pesa or bank transfer, and the machine arrives with sell.ke installed and your product list loaded.
