How to Add Electricity Payments to Your POS Business and Earn More with The BuyPower Merchant App
Running a POS business in Nigeria means helping people with their everyday financial needs. From cash withdrawals and transfers to airtime purchases, customers visit your shop because they want quick and convenient services.
But what if you could offer them something more?
Think about how often people need to buy electricity. Prepaid meter users need tokens, while other customers need to pay their electricity bills. These are everyday needs that create another business opportunity for you.
With BuyPower Merchant, you can add electricity payments to your POS business and earn extra income from eligible transactions.
Here's how it works.
1. Give Your Customers More Reasons to Visit
Imagine a customer walks into your shop to withdraw money. They also need to buy electricity, recharge their phone or renew their TV subscription.
Instead of sending them somewhere else, you can help them complete these transactions in one place.
That's the advantage of adding utility payments to your POS business.
With BuyPower Merchant, you can offer:
- Electricity token purchases.
- Electricity bill payments.
- Airtime and data purchases.
- DStv and GOtv subscriptions.
The more services you offer, the more useful your business becomes to your customers.
2. Earn Extra Commission from Electricity Transactions
Every electricity purchase is an opportunity to earn.
When customers buy electricity through your BuyPower Merchant platform, you can earn applicable commissions on successful transactions.
And because people regularly need electricity, you have an opportunity to build repeat business.
Rather than depending only on POS withdrawals and transfers, you can earn from additional services your customers already need.
3. Earn Even When Customers Pay Directly
Here's another useful feature.
With BuyPower Merchant, you can create virtual accounts linked to customers' electricity meters.
This means your customers can transfer money into their assigned accounts to purchase electricity without having to visit your shop every time.
Their electricity transactions are processed through the platform, and you earn applicable commissions on successful transactions.
It's another way to grow your electricity vending business while making payments more convenient for your customers.
4. How to Get Started with BuyPower Merchant

5. Bring More Customers to Your POS Business
Once you start offering electricity payments, let people know!
Here are a few simple ideas:
- Put up a sign outside your shop saying "Buy Electricity Tokens Here."
- Tell your regular customers that they can also pay electricity bills at your shop.
- Share your services on your WhatsApp status.
