Launching soon.

How It Works

Step 1

Customer shops on an ecommerce store and checks out using the Sawasawa option.

The Sawasawa gateway creates an order number that the customer uses to pay for their order using hard cash at any Sawasawa agent.

Step 2

The customer pays for their order to the agent. The agent releases the customers funds to the merchant after the delivery of the customers order is complete.
