Business owners need tools that are fast, reliable and future-ready, and having the right payments setup makes all the difference. That’s where Yoco Khumo and Khumo Print come in.

These smart card machines are packed with powerful features that help business owners sell more, manage better, and move faster - all without needing extra hardware, apps, or even a phone. With built-in point of sale and payments in one device, Yoco Khumo and Khumo Print give you more time, clarity, and control to focus on what matters most: growing your business.

We dive into what makes these devices a game-changer for growing businesses.

A smart card machine designed to do more than payments

Every Khumo device comes with powerful, free built-in point of sale software that lets you run your business end-to-end. From ringing up sales and managing staff to accepting tips and tracking orders, it’s all available on one device, with no extra apps or hardware required.

Add all-day battery life and dual SIM connectivity, and you’ve got a setup that’s fast, reliable, and built to move with you.

Plus, with Instant Payouts, you get access to your money in minutes - giving you more control over your cash flow, right when you need it.

All-in-one software on every device

Every Khumo card machine is managed through one Yoco Account, giving you a clear, unified view of your stock, staff, and sales across all your devices.

Whether you're trading from one location or scaling across several, the built-in software gives you the real-time insights you need to stay in control and make smarter decisions as you grow.

Sell and manage with ease:

  • Ring up sales using your product catalogue

  • Add sales notes for every transaction

  • Print or send receipts digitally

  • Save orders on the device for later

Smarter payments:

  • Split payments on a group bill

  • Accept tips seamlessly

  • Offer discounts to loyal customers

  • Record alternative payment methods, including cash

Stay in control with real-time reporting from the Yoco App.

Every Yoco card machine connects to powerful reporting tools in the Yoco App. These tools give you a clear view of how your business is performing, wherever you are:

  • Track every sale with a detailed sales history.

  • Know what's selling and what's not with product reports.

  • Never run out of stock with automated stock alerts.

  • Understand your top performers and manage user permissions with staff reports.

Keep tabs on your business anytime - from your phone or desktop.

Empower your team to sell smarter:

  • Create staff profiles to track individual sales and manage secure user permissions.

  • Easily switch between team members on one device.

  • Use insights to calculate commissions and reward performance

These built-in features are especially helpful if you’re not using a separate POS system. Whether you’re trading from a market stall, salon, or retail shop, Yoco Khumo helps you stay organised and in control - all from one smart card machine.

The difference between Khumo and Khumo Print

Both machines offer the same powerful all-in-one POS features and are built to keep you paid on the move. The key difference is that the Khumo Print has a built-in printer. It’s perfect for businesses that need printed proof of purchase.

While both devices support sending itemised bills and receipts digitally, only the Khumo Print can print them on the spot - a crucial feature for restaurants, retail stores and any business that relies on printed receipts.

Fast setup and seamless support

Setting up either machine takes just a few minutes - everything you need is preloaded and ready to go. And if you need help, you can get a hold of our team here or check out our Help Centre.

You can even track stock levels, generate automated reports and manage customer interactions.

Once you’re up and running, all your transaction data is stored securely and synced with your Yoco App, where you can track performance over time or export reports when you need them.
