Yoko, the payments and commerce platform used by over 200,000 South African independent businesses, has enabled direct integration stubHome online accounting platform. The integration connects sales data from Yoko's system with Stub's accounting platform to automate reconciliations, giving independent businesses a better view of how their business is really doing.
The partnership brings together two sets of South African founders who started their business for the same reason: to give sole proprietors, side hustlers, independent shop owners, merchants and other independent businesses powerful, affordable financial tools that were previously out of reach. Together, Yoko and Stub deliver a uniquely powerful front-to-back office solution that puts real financial insight where it belongs: in the hands of the people running the business.
Sales and payment data automatically and securely flows from Yoko to Stub as soon as the transaction occurs. The stub categorizes each transaction, matching payments to invoice numbers and tagging each sale with location data. Independent business owners no longer need to export files, manually capture data, or reconcile transactions across different systems. They can also see which location or device is performing best.
Independent businesses can join through any platform: by linking the stub in yoko app Or by connecting the yoko directly to the stub. Once connected, they get an instant picture of revenues, expenses and cash flow, updated in real time. The result is hours of manual processing saved, faster resolution and cleaner financial records, leading to better decisions.
“Yoko is the smart commerce platform that independent businesses run on, providing payments, insights, capital and more; while Stub ensures everything flowing through it is collated, understood and ready to be acted upon.” They say Tayla Dandridge, Co-Founder and CEO, Stub. “The integration between Stub and Yoko bridges the gap between running your business and doing the books, allowing businesses to claim time lost due to fragmented systems and manual data capture.”
“With partners like Yoko, we are building an ecosystem of tools that works just for South African entrepreneurs and giving them the features and functionality they have been waiting for. This partnership exemplifies how local tools should work together through deeper integration that delivers better customer experiences.”
This integration makes a real difference to the coffee shop owner running three locations, the market trader with multiple instruments, or the trader whose business resides in a personal bank account. For busy entrepreneurs, moving from paper in a shoebox to live transactions that update in real-time opens up scope to grow, access credit, and get admin off their plate.
Eugene Coetzee, Vice President of Engineering at YokoSays: “It's exciting to integrate the solutions of two South African companies that really care about independent businesses in this country. By adding another accounting integration to Stub, Yoko is expanding its support even further beyond payments. This is another example of what makes us the smart commerce platform of choice for independent businesses.”
