It's the only POS built specifically for Maldivian businesses, with 1-click MIRA reports, BML transfer tracking, offline mode and real local support from setup to troubleshooting.

Accepted Answer

Ewity starts at MVR 0 — the Free plan is free forever for small businesses with a single location and register. Paid plans start at MVR 450/month (Starter) and MVR 750/month (Pro) billed yearly, and every plan includes support from our team.

Question 3

Is there a free POS system for small businesses in the Maldives?

Question 4

Does Ewity work when the internet goes down?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ewity has a built-in offline mode, so you can keep selling even when your connection drops — common on the islands. Your sales sync automatically to the cloud as soon as you're back online.

Question 6

Can I track BML transfers with Ewity?

Is my sales data safe with a cloud POS?
