Your Daily Mobile Money Sales Report, Verified and Live

KODA sends a daily WhatsApp digest of every mobile money payment on your SIM — totals per operator, unmatched and flagged — backed by a live, real-time payments feed.

An owner who is not standing at the counter still needs to know, honestly and without asking anyone, exactly what came in today. KODA gives them two things for that: a Live Payments Feed that shows every payment hitting the business in real time, and a daily digest delivered to WhatsApp that sums the day up. Together they turn a pile of individual SMS confirmations into a clear, structured picture of the money — verified, unmatched and flagged — with no spreadsheet and no guesswork.

The Live Payments Feed is the real-time view. As each operator confirmation arrives on the merchant's number, it appears in the feed with its status: verified and matched to an order, unmatched and waiting, or flagged by the fraud checks. Instead of staff reading messages aloud or an owner scrolling a phone, everyone sees the same authoritative stream of what has actually been paid. It is the counter's source of truth, updated the instant money lands, across whichever of the five doors a payment came through.

The daily WhatsApp digest is the close-of-day summary, sent where an owner already looks. It totals the day's takings per operator, counts the payments, and surfaces what needs attention — anything unmatched, anything flagged — in a single message. An owner running three shops can read three digests over dinner and know each one's day without calling a soul. Because it arrives on WhatsApp rather than in an app nobody opens, it actually gets read, which is the whole point of a report.

The quiet value is control without hovering. A great deal of small-business leakage happens in the gap between what staff say was taken and what actually was, and that gap is invisible until something is counted. A structured feed and a daily total close it: the owner sees every payment on the SIM directly, so a sale that was received but never rung up shows as unmatched, and a suspicious pattern shows as flagged, rather than both disappearing into a busy day. Visibility is the cheapest fraud and error control there is.

None of this is a separate ledger to maintain — it is the same verified data, surfaced two ways. Every payment in the feed and every figure in the digest is a real operator confirmation that passed the same matching, scoring and single-use lock as any other verification. The totals therefore tie back cleanly to your Mobile Money Reconciliation: Find the Money You Forgot at month-end, and each payment can send the customer a branded confirmation as described in White-Label Payment Receipts Your Customers Trust. One stream of truth feeds the counter, the owner, the books and the customer at once.

The feed and digest also respect who should see what. With the team roles in Team Roles Done Right: Let Cashiers Verify, Not Everything, a cashier verifies and sees their own activity while the owner sees the whole feed and receives the digest, so visibility scales with responsibility rather than handing everyone the keys. And when the merchant uses the Auto-Verify Every Payment with the KODA Sentinel App Sentinel app, payments flow into the feed automatically as their SMS arrive, so the real-time picture stays complete without anyone forwarding or typing anything.

If you run a business you cannot watch every minute, this is how you keep your eyes on the money anyway.

Frequently asked questions

What is the KODA Live Payments Feed?

A real-time view of every payment arriving on the merchant's number, each shown as verified, unmatched or flagged. It is the counter's single source of truth, updated the instant a payment lands across any of the five doors. Turn it on via Get started with KODA free.

What is in the daily WhatsApp digest?

A close-of-day summary sent to the owner's WhatsApp: total takings per operator, the number of payments, and anything unmatched or flagged that needs attention — one message that actually gets read because it arrives where you already look.

How does this help an owner who isn't at the shop?

It lets them see every payment on the SIM directly, so a sale received but never rung up shows as unmatched and a suspicious pattern shows as flagged — closing the gap between what staff report and what was actually taken, without hovering.

Do the feed and digest match my accounts?

Yes. They surface the same verified data that feeds your reconciliation, in Mobile Money Reconciliation: Find the Money You Forgot, so daily totals tie back cleanly at month-end. Each payment can also send a branded receipt, as in White-Label Payment Receipts Your Customers Trust.

Can staff see everything in the feed?

Only what their role allows. With the permissions in Team Roles Done Right: Let Cashiers Verify, Not Everything, a cashier sees their own activity while the owner sees the full feed and receives the digest, so visibility scales with responsibility.
