Getting started

6 questions
How do I set up Enimara on my phone?
Open app.enimara.com in Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPhone). Tap Install app or Add to Home Screen. Open the app, set your business name, pick your trade (salon, market, etc.), and you're ringing up sales in under 2 minutes. No card needed.
Can I import my existing inventory from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Settings → Products → Import → upload a CSV. We accept the common columns: name, SKU, price, cost, stock. There's a template at app.enimara.com/import-template.csv.
What's the difference between a Place and a Business?
A business is your company; a place is a physical location. One business can have several places (e.g. Mama Adeola's main shop and second branch), each with its own stock.
Do I need internet to start?
You need internet for the initial sign-up (to create your account on our cloud). After that, the app works fully offline — every sale, receipt, and inventory update.

Payments

5 questions
Which payment methods can my customers use?
Card (via Paystack and Flutterwave), direct bank transfer, USSD pay codes, and good old cash. You can also split one bill across multiple methods.
How do I issue a refund?
From the receipt: Sales → find the receipt → tap Refund. Full or partial. The refund posts immediately and updates your P&L. Store credit refunds are also supported.
Can I print receipts to an ESC/POS thermal printer?
Yes — pair via Bluetooth in Settings → Devices. Tested with most XPrinter, Epson, and the cheap Chinese 58mm models you'll find on Jumia.

Sync & offline

5 questions
What actually happens when I'm offline?
Everything keeps working — sales, stock, customer notes. The app stores the data on your phone. When the network comes back, it syncs in the background. You don't have to do anything.
What if two staff change the same record offline?
We resolve by last-writer-wins on most fields, with stock counts merged by delta (not by overwrite — so two staff each selling one of the same item simultaneously correctly decrements by two).
How long can I stay offline?
Indefinitely. We've had merchants go 14 days offline and sync clean. The app does warn you politely after 48 hours so you don't lose a phone with un-synced data.

Billing

4 questions
How does annual billing save me 20%?
Pay for 10 months upfront — use the app for 12. Cancel mid-year and we prorate the refund.
Can I switch plans mid-cycle?
Anytime. Upgrades apply immediately and prorate. Downgrades take effect at next renewal.

Account & security

4 questions
I forgot my PIN — what now?
From the lock screen: Forgot PIN → answer your security questions → set a new PIN. If you've also forgotten the answers, WhatsApp us and we'll verify you through your registered phone.
Can I delete all my data?
Yes. Settings → Account → Delete. We export a final CSV, then erase your records from our servers within 30 days. NDPR-compliant.

Multi-business & multi-place

3 questions
Can I run two completely different businesses on one account?
Yes — Settings → Switch business. Each business has its own products, customers, P&L. Best for entrepreneurs running a salon AND a food kiosk.

Languages

2 questions
Which languages does Enimara support?
English, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo today. French, Portuguese, Swahili, and Arabic on the roadmap. Settings → Language to switch.
