How African Businesses Can Simplify Payments in Zoho Books

Running a growing business in Africa often means juggling multiple systems — one for accounting, another for collecting payments, and perhaps a third for reporting. The result of this? Endless spreadsheets, delayed reconciliations, and poor visibility into your cash flow. 

But what if you could handle payments and accounting all in one place, while earning a reward for doing it? 

That’s now possible, thanks to SeerBit’s integration with Zoho Books. This powerful partnership allows African businesses to simplify payment collections, automate reconciliations, and manage finances more efficiently than ever. And when you become a SeerBit merchant through this partnership, you’ll receive $100 in Zoho Wallet Credit to explore or upgrade your Zoho Books plan. 

Here’s how it all works, and why it matters to your business. 

The Challenge: Disconnected Payments and Accounting 

Many African SMEs and startups face the same operational roadblock — disconnected systems. You might be collecting payments through one platform, recording sales in another, and manually updating figures in your accounting software at the end of the week. 

This setup creates several pain points: 

•  Manual reconciliations that waste valuable time. Teams spend hours matching payments to invoices instead of focusing on growth or customer service. 
  

• Errors and reporting delays. Manual entries often lead to mistakes that skew your financial reports and make decision-making harder.  

• Fragmented visibility. Without a central dashboard, it’s difficult to get a real-time picture of cash flow, outstanding invoices, or payment trends. 
    

In a region where access to fast, reliable data can make or break a business, such inefficiencies limit growth potential. SMEs need a solution that unifies both payments and accounting, and automates the processes involved, while supporting Africa’s diverse payment methods and currencies. 

Enter SeerBit x Zoho Books — a collaboration designed specifically for African businesses ready to simplify how they manage money. 

With SeerBit now integrated into Zoho Books, you can connect your payment collection directly with your accounting system. That means no more switching between tabs or uploading CSV files. Every payment received through SeerBit is automatically reflected in your Zoho Books dashboard in real-time. 

Here’s what you can do with the integration: 

• Collect customer payments effortlessly 
  Accept payments directly through SeerBit’s secure gateway from your website, invoices, or checkout pages. Whether your customers pay with cards, mobile money, or bank transfers, SeerBit supports them all. 
  

• Sync payments in real time 
  Every transaction is automatically updated in Zoho Books, ensuring your records are always accurate and up to date. 
  

• Eliminate manual reconciliations 
  Since payments and invoices are matched automatically, you no longer need to spend hours reconciling accounts. 
  

• Generate instant reports 
  Zoho Books provides real-time insights into your cash flow, receivables, and revenue. Combined with SeerBit’s detailed payment analytics, you get a full 360° view of your business performance. 
  

• Operate across multiple currencies and channels 
  African businesses often deal with customers who pay in different currencies or through various channels. SeerBit supports multi-currency payments and integrates seamlessly with Zoho Books’ localisation features, helping you stay compliant while expanding your reach. 
   

This integration isn’t just about convenience, but about empowerment. It gives African SMEs the same financial management capabilities as larger enterprises, but at a fraction of the cost. 

The Reward: Get $100 in Zoho Wallet Credit 

To make this partnership even more rewarding, new SeerBit merchants get a $100 Zoho Wallet Credit after signing up and getting approved. 

This isn’t just a token offer but a real opportunity to explore the full power of Zoho’s ecosystem. You can use the credit to:
