The problem
Customers are trying to get your attention.You just can't see them.
Your best customers are probably strangers. They want to come back. They want to buy from you. They just need a little reminder, a reason to visit, or a nudge at the right time.
What if you could turn the people around you into customers who actually walk through your door?
What you get
Features
Tools to get paid, know your customers, and run the business - in one place.
Invite staff
Add your team. Switch on only what each person needs - so the barista can help at the till and only you see the account.
Get paid
Customers pay you on Wire. Money lands in your business balance. Send a request, share a payment link, or take pay at the till.
Campaigns
Send an offer to new or existing customers - on your page, in their app, right after they pay, or as a notification.
Customer intelligence
See who buys from you, how often they return, and who buys from similar businesses but not with you. Habits you can act on - even when you're not behind the till.
Dashboard
A clear picture of your business on Wire - what's coming in, who's paying, and what needs your attention.
VAT
Export a lite VAT report from Wire transactions for your SA periods. Built for the money that ran through Wire - ready for your books.
Invoicing
Create an itemised invoice in under a minute. Pull lines from your catalogue or add them by hand, then send it to pay on Wire.
POS
Catalogue, till, and reports in Wire. Sell on a phone, iPad, or computer - without a separate till app.
Onboarding
What we ask from you
- 01
Documents
We need your South African ID, and a proof of address in the business name. A utility bill, a signed lease, or a bank statement from the last three months.
- 02
KYC
We check it's you before you can take payments. It's the same check Wire already runs for a person.
- 03
Business registration
If the business is registered, we need the registration documents. The name on them has to match the name you give us.
If you trade in your own name and you are not registered, send your ID, a proof of address, and a short note that you are a sole proprietor. You do not need a company to start.
Get paid

- Fee: higher than a Wire Account
Recommended

- They pay in the app, or you send a request for the amount
- Fee: lower
Normal card
An ordinary bank card. They do not need a Wire account.
- Promotions apply only if they have Wire and scan their WireTag
- Wire has to be connected to your card machine
- Fee: your card machine's fee
Campaigns
Campaigns
A campaign is how you talk to people on Wire. Use it to bring regulars back through the door, and to give new people a reason to follow you and pay you.
What you send
A message, or an offer: cashback, an item, or a product discount. You can sponsor a prize. If you don't want to give anything away, send the message on its own.
Where it shows
On your profile, in their feed, in the rewards section, right after they pay, or as a notification.
What it does
It brings people back, and it gives new people a reason to come in. You still choose whether anyone earns anything.
What they see
What your customer sees
Customers can follow your page and see what you post. When friends split the bill, they can tag your place, so their friends see your name. Nobody sees who paid you, or how much.
Questions
No. If you set nothing up, they just pay you.
They pay you the way they already do, like your card machine. Wire is for the customers who have it.
No. A phone, an iPad, or a computer is enough.
It lands in your business balance instantly, kept apart from your personal account. Withdraw it to any bank account, any time.
Customers scan their WireTag at the till for a discount. Other promos apply on their own. If you set nothing, they just pay.
Yes. Invite each person and switch on only the tools they need, like posting.
Yes. The money is held with a regulated bank. Wire is not the bank. We are how your customers pay you, and the bank holds the account under banking rules.
Join before we launch
You get campaigns first, and more places to show them: your profile, their feed, right after they pay, and as a notification. Businesses that join later start with fewer.
