Who it is for
Made for shops that count stock and cash every day
If you buy, store and sell goods, Stoka fits. These are the kinds of shop its features were built around.
Provision and general stores
Many small items, quick sales and a clear count of what is left on the shelf.
Farm and agro-produce sellers
Farm Joy, the farm and agro-produce edition, runs on the same platform.
Shops with more than one branch
See stock and sales for each location and for the whole business, and move stock between them.
Retail and wholesale sellers
Keep a retail price and a wholesale price on the same item and sell at either.
Shops that sell on credit
Track what customers owe you and what you owe suppliers, on the books and not in memory.
Shops where the internet is not steady
The Windows edition sells with no internet connection at all.
How it works
From sign-up to first sale in three steps
1
Open your account
Enter your business name, your email and a password. Your shop gets its own account with a 7-day free trial and no card.
2
Add your products and staff
Type in your products with their prices and counts, and give each staff member their own PIN.
3
Sell and watch the stock move
Ring up a sale, print the receipt or save it as a PDF, and see the count change on every signed-in device.
Stoka AI
Ask Stoka how to do it. It shows you the exact buttons.
Stoka AI sits inside the app, one tap away on every screen. Ask in your own words and it answers with the steps, with every button named exactly as it appears on your screen. When the Admin allows it, it also reads your sales person by person.
- Ask63 short guides, found from a question in your own words. The built-in guide works with no internet.
- LearnTen short tours that ring the real buttons on your screen, one step at a time.
- CheckAn eleven-point check of how your shop is set up, so nothing is missed before you go live.
- SalesEach person’s sales for a day, week, month or chosen days, what stands out, and a written explanation on request.
Ask in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo. The four local languages are still in beta, so the English steps are always shown too.
Is it private? What goes out when you ask
When you are online, your question can also be sent to an AI service to be written up in plain words. What goes out is the question, your last two questions and answers, the screen name, your language and a random installation code. Never your stock, your customers or your staff names, and Stoka does not keep the questions.

What's inside
Everything a busy shop actually needs
At the till
Live inventory sync
On the online edition, stock counts update across every till, tablet and phone in your shop as sales happen, with no refresh needed.
Fast point of sale
A clean till with retail and wholesale pricing built in.
Staff PINs & held sales
Every staff member gets their own PIN, and a sale can be put on hold and recalled later without losing the cart.
Across every location
Multiple branches, one account
Switch between locations, see stock and sales for each one, and roll it all up to the whole business.
Move stock between branches
Transfer stock from one location to another with a clear record of what moved, and when.
Suppliers & money owed
Purchase orders & payables
Order from suppliers, receive against what actually arrived, and keep track of what you still owe.
Customer credit (receivables)
Let trusted customers buy now and pay later, with every balance tracked on the books, not memory.
Records & how you run it
Real business documents
Bordered, proper-looking invoices, receipts and waybills. The Windows edition prints them on the printer your computer uses.
Reports that matter
Stock valuation, an expiry watch on ageing stock, and a day-closing report for cashing up the till.
Your records are yours
Export your stock, your sales, what you owe and what you are owed as CSV files that open in Excel.
Online or offline, your choice
Run it in the browser with nothing to install, or use the Windows edition in a shop that needs to work without internet.
Receipts
Print the receipt on A4 or on a roll
Every sale can end with a printed receipt. Each phone or computer keeps its own paper size, so the till at the counter can print a roll while the office prints A4.
- Three paper sizesA4 sheet, 80 mm roll or 58 mm roll. Each device keeps its own choice.
- Print window or straight to the printerThe print window lays the receipt out for your roll size. On a computer with Chrome or Edge you can also connect a receipt printer and print without the window.
- A PDF copy tooEvery receipt has a PDF button for a copy you can keep or send.
Receipt printers differ, so print one test receipt on yours during the free trial. The Windows edition prints on the printer your computer uses.

Safe sign-in
Your shop opens only on devices you have signed in
Each phone or computer signs in once with the owner's email and password. Someone who only knows your shop's web address is refused.
- Wrong guesses are slowed downAfter five wrong tries the sign-in makes the person wait, and the wait grows with each further wrong try.
- Forgot the password? Fix it yourself, at any hourThe owner recovery key is shown once and works once. Keep it somewhere safe, then use it on the sign-in page to choose a new password.
- Forgot the Admin PIN?Reset it with the owner email and password. Staff on a signed-in device still use only their own PIN.
- Lost a phone, or a staff member left?Sign out every device from the Admin screen, then sign in again only on the ones you trust.
If the recovery key is lost too, message us on WhatsApp and we will help you get back in.

On the Stoka Windows edition, selling, including printing that sale's own receipt, always works. A license covers the rest: restocking, purchase orders, reports, multi-branch tools and more. The Windows edition checks your key on the computer itself, so it keeps working with no internet connection. Once you choose a folder, it saves a dated copy of your records there each time it starts, every 15 minutes and when it closes, and keeps the copies for 60 days.
Pricing
Pricing agreed with you, not read off a list
Priced around how you run your shop
There's no generic price list, because no two shops run the same way: one till or five, retail or wholesale, online or the licensed Windows edition. Tell us your setup and we'll agree on a plan that fits.
- Every new online account starts with a 7-day free trial, with every feature included and no card needed.
- A licensed Windows edition is also available for shops that need to run offline.
- One shop or several branches: tell us your setup and we'll quote for that, not a generic tier.

Always improving
Updated often
Stoka has had many releases since it was first built. The online edition updates for everyone as soon as a new version is published. On the Windows edition, install the newer installer over the old one and your records stay.
Tested
Checked before it ships
Version 1.6.15 of the Windows edition passed 524 automated screen checks before it was released, along with tests of its saving service, its update path and its installer. They cover sales, refunds, stock, purchases and receipts.
Questions
Questions shop owners ask first
Do I need internet to use Stoka?
The online edition needs an internet connection, because that is how stock stays the same on every phone, tablet and computer. The Windows edition works with no internet connection at all and checks your license on the computer itself.
How much does Stoka cost?
There is no generic price list, because no two shops run the same way. Every new online account starts with a 7-day free trial, with every feature included and no card needed. Tell us your setup, on WhatsApp or by email, and we will agree on a plan that fits.
What happens when the 7-day trial ends?
Selling keeps working normally. Restocking, purchase orders, reports and other admin tools wait until you activate a license key. Message us before the trial ends and we will agree the plan with you.
Can my staff use their own phones?
Yes. The owner signs in on each phone or computer once. After that, each staff member uses only their own PIN. If a phone is lost or a staff member leaves, sign out every device from the Admin screen and sign in again only on the ones you trust.
What if I forget my password or my Admin PIN?
For the password, the owner recovery key (shown once in Admin, under Security) lets you choose a new one from the sign-in page at any hour. For the Admin PIN, press Forgot PIN on the PIN screen and reset it with the owner email and password. If both are lost, message us on WhatsApp and we will help you get back in.
Can I print receipts on a receipt printer?
Yes. Each device picks A4, an 80 mm roll or a 58 mm roll. You can print through the browser print window, and on a computer with Chrome or Edge you can connect a receipt printer and print without the window. Printers differ, so print one test receipt on yours during the free trial. The Windows edition prints on the printer your computer uses.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The online edition opens in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer, so there is nothing to install. Sign in with the owner email and password and start selling.
Can I run more than one branch from one account?
Yes. Switch between locations, see stock and sales for each one, roll it all up to the whole business, and move stock from one branch to another with a record of what moved and when.
Is my shop kept separate from other shops?
Yes. Every business has its own separate account, and a phone or computer must be signed in with the owner email and password before it can open your shop. You can also export your stock, your sales, what you owe and what you are owed as CSV files.
What is Stoka AI, and what does it see?
Stoka AI is the help panel inside the app. Ask in your own words and it shows the exact steps from a built-in guide that works with no internet. When you are online, your question can also be sent to an AI service to be written up in plain words. What goes out is the question, your last two questions and answers, the screen name, your language and a random installation code, never your stock, your customers or your staff names, and Stoka does not keep the questions. The Sales Analysis only works when the Admin switches it on and chooses, for each person, no access, their own sales only, or everyone’s sales.
