One response
Point of Sale (Swipe) charges-1% of the transaction charges with a minimum of $10. This doesn’t make much sense. No wonder prices of goods are ridiculously high in Zimbabwe. If a vendor sells a pair of shoes for $30 through this kagwenya they lose $10? How much would the vendor have paid for the stocks to make a profit of at least $10 on every sale not taking all other costs of the business into account?
