GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked
questions.
Can I explore Market Spark before creating an account?
Yes. Open the demo to explore the working dashboard and business workflows with sample records. The demo is labelled, and changes stay in that local demo workspace.
What can I record in Market Spark?
The current workspace supports products and stock, sales, purchase receipts, expenses, customer credit entries, supplier contacts, a team register, cash close-out, reports and CSV exports. It does not include purchase orders or supplier balances.
Can my staff sign in with their own permissions?
Not yet. You can keep a team register, but only the account owner can sign in and make changes. Team members cannot access separate accounts.
Does Market Spark connect to M-Pesa?
You can record a sale using the Mobile Money payment method, but Market Spark does not connect to M-Pesa, reconcile payments or request money from customers.
How does Market Spark calculate profit?
Estimated profit is recorded sales minus product costs saved at sale time and recorded expenses. It is an estimate from available entries, not audited accounts, cash flow or cash on hand.
What happens if the internet connection drops?
Supported business changes can be queued on the device and synced when it reconnects. The workspace shows pending changes and sync errors so they can be reviewed.
How are my business records accessed?
Private records are requested after sign-in through authenticated APIs that check business membership and role. The public sample business is separate from signed-in account records.
What can the AI Adviser answer?
The owner Adviser can explain server-calculated sales, expenses, product costs and stock facts. It states when information is missing and does not perform transactions.
Does Market Spark have specialist workflows for my industry?
The current product is focused on general, product-based sales and stock records. It does not include pharmacy expiry batches, restaurant table service, salon appointments, project billing or multi-branch management.
Are subscription prices available?
Pricing and subscription billing are not available yet. There is no paid plan on this site.
