How to use Kowope

Kowope Creditbook is your credit book. You write down what each customer takes on credit, and what they pay back. The app adds it up for you.

Add a customer

A new customer is kept when you record their first entry. Do both steps together.

1. Open Kowope.
2. Tap New customer.
3. Type the customer’s name.
4. Add their phone number if you have it. You can leave it out.
5. Tap Save. If you left the phone number out, the button says Save as walk-in instead.
6. Kowope opens the new customer’s page. Tap Credit, type the first amount, then tap Save.

The customer is now in your list. If you leave before you save that first entry, the customer is not kept.

To find a customer later, type part of their name in Search customers at the top of the list.

Record credit you give

Use this when a customer takes goods or cash on trust.

1. Tap the customer’s name in your list.
2. Tap Credit.
3. Type the amount.
4. If it helps you remember, write what it was for in What’s this for?. This is optional.
5. Tap Save.

The amount is added to Outstanding at the top of the customer’s page. That is what they owe you now.

Record a payment

Use this when a customer pays you back.

1. Tap the customer’s name in your list.
2. Tap Payment.
3. Type the amount they paid.
4. Tap Save.

The amount comes off their Outstanding. A customer can never pay back more than they owe, so the app will not accept an amount larger than the outstanding figure.

Fix a mistake

Kowope keeps every entry, so you correct a mistake instead of erasing it. The history then shows the right amount, and you can still see what happened.

1. Open the customer.
2. Tap the entry in History.
3. Tap Correct this amount.
4. Type the amount the entry should have been.
5. Tap Save correction.

If you have only just saved an entry, tap Undo on the message at the bottom of the screen. That removes it completely.

How Kowope works

What does verifying my phone number do?

It connects your book to your number. If you reinstall Kowope on this phone, you can get your book back.

What does a plan add?

A plan moves your book to a new phone. Without a plan, you can get your book back on this phone only. To move it to another phone, subscribe.

How do I get my book back if I lose my phone?

Install Kowope on the new phone and verify the same number. With a plan, your book moves to it. Without a plan, subscribe first.

Keep a copy for yourself

Tap the person button at the top right of your customer list to open Account, then tap Export my data. You get a text file of the balances across all your customers, which you can save or send to yourself. This is free and works with your data off.
