Customers pay MTN MoMo, Orange Money, and cash in the same afternoon. Shops that only write “total sales” invent shortages every night.</p>\n\n<h2>Record Payment Method on Every Sale</h2>\n\n<p>Not at closing. At the sale. Cash goes toward the drawer expectation. Mobile money does not. Mix them and reconciliation becomes an argument — <a href=\"/blog/end-of-day-reconciliation-retail-cameroon\">reconciliation guide</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>A Simple Daily Split</h2>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>Cash sales total</li>\n  <li>MTN sales total</li>\n  <li>Orange Money sales total</li>\n  <li>Other (if any)</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Compare cash counted to <em>cash sales only</em> (plus opening float, minus cash outs). Mobile money is verified against phone confirmations or statements — not the metal drawer.</p>\n\n<h2>Common Mistakes</h2>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>Writing mobile money as cash “to make it simple”</li>\n  <li>Staff collecting MoMo on personal numbers without a shop rule</li>\n  <li>No sale entry because “it already shows on the phone”</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Phone confirmations are not a shop ledger. You still need the sales record — <a href=\"/blog/how-to-stop-losing-sales-data\">stop losing sales data</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>CashTrack POS</h2>\n\n<p>CashTrack POS lets you tag payment method per sale so Cameroon counters stay honest when money leaves the customer’s phone, not your drawer.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/how-it-works\">How it works</a> · <a href=\"/pricing\">Pricing</a> · <a href=\"/blog/improve-sales-management-retail\">improve sales management</a></p>\n\n<p>Related guides: <a href=\"/blog/end-of-day-reconciliation-retail-cameroon\">End-of-Day Reconciliation Made Simple for Retail Shops in Cameroon</a> and <a href=\"/blog/how-to-stop-losing-sales-data\">How to Stop Losing Sales Data in a Busy Shop</a> and <a href=\"/blog/improve-sales-management-retail\">How to Improve Sales Management in a Retail Shop</a>.</p>","content_fr":"<h1>Suivi des Ventes Mobile Money au Cameroun</h1>\n\n<p>Chaque vente : mode de paiement.
