More Choice When You Ask for a Price​

Smarter Shifts for Agents & Faster Shop Sign-Up​

Agents now get a nudge when a Sevi shop is nearby, and getting a new shop verified takes fewer steps.

What's New:​

  • Know when a shop is close — during your shift, agents get a notification when a Sevi shop is within 500 metres, once per shop, even with a weak connection
  • Visits with clear outcomes — agents record each visit themselves, mark it Positive or Negative, and see its status at a glance
  • One photo to verify your shop — business location checks now need just one photo of your shop front, with clearer guidance and safer location saving
  • Sellers: spot late customers — your customer dashboard has a new "Late" group next to Active, Pending, Invite expired, Suspended and Rejected
  • Smoother sign-in — unlocking with your face or fingerprint is more reliable, and the app handles expired sessions without kicking you out unexpectedly
  • An up-to-date seller list — the seller directory refreshes on its own, so you always browse the latest sellers

Ask Sellers for a Price & Numbers You Can Trust​

Buyers can now ask sellers to quote a price right from the app, inviting a friend got a lot friendlier, and your balances are more dependable than ever.

What's New:​

  • Ask for a price — see an item without a price? Send the seller a price request from your cart or the product page, then compare the offers that come back
  • Invite a friend, help them start — the refreshed Invite & Earn flow lets you enter your friend's shop details and drop their business location on a map, so they're set up before they even open the app
  • Deals that catch your eye — the Sellers tab now shows deals and products in a swipeable carousel with clear discount labels, and tapping a product takes you straight to the seller's catalog
  • No more misleading zeros — balances show a gentle loading shimmer while syncing, your lists wait for fresh data before saying "nothing here", and figures update right after you pay
  • Second Chance, one call away — a new "Call customer care" button connects you straight to our team to claim your Second Chance voucher, and all support buttons now ring the right number

  • Balances you can trust while paying — your wallet and credit balance now refresh live during payment, so your available limit is always current
  • Plan your route, take a break — agents can pick their transport mode in the Route Planner, pause and resume shifts, and see how they rank on a new leaderboard
  • Second Chance at a glance — a compact card on the Stawi screen shows your voucher status, in English and Swahili

  • Richer product pages — photos, prices and seller details at a glance, with one-tap add to basket and a quick link to the seller's profile
  • Always know your info is fresh — the app now tells you when your data may be outdated or your session has expired, so you're never acting on stale information
  • Simpler navigation — the "New" tab is now a familiar Home tab with a "New order" quick action, and the payments and wallet pages share one consistent look
  • Invite customers with your own reference — sellers can add their own customer number when inviting a buyer, making it easy to match Sevi orders to your records
