In many parts of Africa, internet access is patchy at best and nonexistent at worst. But that hasn\u2019t stopped business from thriving in open markets, school canteens, roadside kiosks, and neighborhood shops. The challenge? Most digital payment systems are built with a constant internet connection in mind, leaving out millions of small merchants who drive the continent\u2019s economy. At <\/span>Tr\u00e8s Payer<\/span><\/a>, we believe that <\/span>inclusion starts with access<\/span><\/i>. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve built our system to function offline so that even when the signal cuts out, commerce keeps going.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Offline Reality<\/b><\/h3>\n

Across Africa, over 60% of people still don\u2019t have reliable access to mobile internet, <\/span>according to the GSMA<\/span><\/a>. In rural areas and dense urban markets, merchants often operate in low-connectivity environments where traditional mobile payment apps simply don\u2019t work. Even where connectivity exists, high data costs, network congestion, or power cuts can interrupt service at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the average school food vendor or market trader, this isn\u2019t just an inconvenience; it\u2019s a barrier to doing business. If a customer\u2019s card fails to process due to poor signal, that\u2019s a lost sale. If a merchant can\u2019t confirm a payment instantly, that\u2019s friction in an already fast-paced environment.<\/span><\/p>\n
