Over the weekend, at the Department of Parks and Gardens, the Green Butterfly market opened its doors to the public for its biweekly market fair and 13th-year anniversary celebration.
Present at the market was Kowri, the official payment processing partner for Green Butterfly.
The Green Butterfly market is a leading Green lifestyle brand in Ghana focused on establishing and maintaining localized business cooperatives as a means of empowering all, especially women. The market is attended mostly by foreign nationals and tourists. After over a decade of working closely to establish these local businesses, Green Butterfly patrons identified a unique problem limiting the growth of these localized business cooperatives – the ability to collect digital payments. The main target of these biweekly markets are ex-pats and foreign nationals in the country and cash weren’t their first payment option.
Kowri Business (formerly Billbox) provided an ideal solution for this challenge with a payment platform that processes card, mobile money, and cash payments. Kowri Business is a unique product due to its industry-acclaimed back office which offers business owners the ability to not only collect but track payments received via USSD and a robust back office.
Speaking to the founder of Green Butterfly Market, Yasmeen Helwani, she said “Choosing Kowri Business to be the official payment processing platform for the Green Butterfly Market was one of the best decisions I ever made. Businesses here no longer struggle to collect digital payments from customers and do not have to worry about reconciliation. It’s all sorted with Kowri Business.
Charles Kollo, a patron of the market and SVP, Chief Marketing Officer in DreamOval had this to say.”I am excited at how Kowri has transformed the Green Butterfly market and made payment so easy for its customers. This comes as a huge relief especially when I remember how I struggled to make payments for some goods at this market a few months ago. Kowri Business is on a journey to help businesses across Africa grow by simplifying collections over a variety of channels and cash.”
