Take App vs Qasir
Qasir is the free till a lot of Indonesian micro-businesses start on, and it is good at that. Take App is the part that happens in the customer's phone: a catalog, an order form in WhatsApp, and a payment.

PaypalShort answer
Qasir and Take App cover different halves of the same day, and both have a free plan — so running both costs nothing. Qasir rings up the customer standing in front of you; Take App handles the ones messaging you, with a catalog link, local payment methods and the order form in the chat. If you would rather have one system, Take App includes a point of sale too. Stay on Qasir alone if every sale is face to face and nobody ever orders ahead.
Why businesses pick Take App
Customers order before they arrive — a catalog link in your bio or on a QR code, and the order lands in WhatsApp.
Get paid at the order: QRIS, bank transfer with a receipt to confirm, or cash on delivery.
Message every past customer again when something new is in. A till holds the sale; it cannot start the next one.
Feature by feature
The rows are what chat-first businesses ask us about most. Where Qasir covers something through a paid add-on, or only in some countries, the cell says so instead of a cross.

Built for the market you actually sell in
100+ payment methods and local couriers across 180+ countries — the wallets, bank transfers, and cash on delivery your customers already use, not just cards.
Where Qasir draws the line
Qasir is built for the smallest Indonesian merchants and it is genuinely free, which is why so many warungs run it. It is still a till: it records what happens at the counter. There is no catalog to share, no ordering link, and no way to collect payment before the customer arrives. Take App supports 100+ payment methods across 180+ countries, all collected at the order.
Why WhatsApp, and not email
Across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, a customer messages a shop long before they would open an email. Take App puts the order form, the payment reminder, the delivery update and the follow-up in that same thread — so nothing waits on an inbox nobody checks.
