Understanding Credit on Casa: Flexible Wallet Solutions for Your Business

What is the Casa Wallet System?

At Casa, we've built a comprehensive wallet system that makes managing money simple, secure, and flexible for everyone—from individual users to large businesses.

Personal Wallets: Your Money, Your Way

Every individual on Casa has their own personal wallet. This wallet contains all the money they deposit or receive from other Casa users. It's simple, secure, and always accessible.

How to Add Money to Your Personal Wallet

There are several convenient ways to deposit money into your Casa wallet:

• Casa Agents: Visit any authorized Casa agent near you to deposit cash directly into your wallet
• USSD Code: Quick and easy mobile money deposits using our USSD service (Coming soon!)
• Personal Payment Link: Share your unique link at getcasaapp.com/me/username to receive payments from anyone
• Casa Card QR Code: Simply scan your personalized QR code for instant deposits

Business Wallets: Streamlined Commerce

Just like individuals, every business on Casa has its own wallet. This is where businesses receive payments from customers and manage their revenue streams.

Business wallets make it easy to:

• Track all incoming payments in one place
• Monitor daily, weekly, and monthly revenue
• Process customer transactions instantly
• Generate financial reports and insights

Business-Specific Wallets: The Game Changer

Here's where Casa truly stands out. We've introduced business-specific wallets—a revolutionary feature that transforms how customers interact with their favorite businesses.

What is a Business-Specific Wallet?

A business-specific wallet is a special wallet that a customer has exclusively for a particular business. It's separate from their main Casa wallet and is dedicated entirely to transactions with that one business.

How Does It Work?

Let's say you're a regular customer at "Green Valley Pharmacy." Here's what happens:

1. You deposit UGX 30,000 into your business-specific wallet for Green Valley Pharmacy
2. You can now enjoy Green Valley Pharmacy's services until those funds are depleted
3. When your balance runs low, simply top up again
4. All transactions are tracked separately, giving you clear visibility of your spending at that specific business

Introducing Credit Facilities: Buy Now, Pay Later

This is where things get really exciting. Casa allows businesses to offer credit to their trusted customers!

Business Control and Flexibility

Businesses have complete control over credit facilities:

• Enable/Disable Credit: Turn credit on or off with a simple toggle in settings
• Set Credit Limits: Define maximum credit amounts on a per-customer basis
• Set Payment Deadlines: Establish when customers must settle their credit balance
• Automatic Service Denial: Once a deadline passes, customers cannot make new purchases until they pay their balance
• Flexible Limits: Adjust credit limits for individual customers based on their payment history and trust level

Example Scenario

Imagine Sarah is a loyal customer at "Tech Haven Electronics." Here's how credit might work for her:

1. Tech Haven has enabled credit facilities in their Casa business settings
2. They've set Sarah's credit limit at UGX 100,000
3. Sarah's business-specific wallet currently has UGX 0
4. Sarah wants to buy a phone accessory worth UGX 15,000
5. Since credit is enabled, she can make the purchase—her wallet goes to -UGX 15,000
6. Tech Haven sets a payment deadline of 7 days from now
7. If Sarah pays before the deadline, everything continues normally
8. If the deadline passes without payment, Sarah cannot make new purchases at Tech Haven until she settles her debt
