Hi there!

We just wanted to share MoneyBook’s MVP:

> **[MoneyBook](https://app.moneybook.me/)**
>
> Pagamos todos tus servicios por ti.\\n\\nNo entres más nunca a un banco.

An app to keep open accounts with customers and friends.

This a common activity in Venezuela, as the USD has become an unofficial main currency, but payments are still a big mess out there…

Usually businesses face the problem of:

- Collecting, as they usually are forced to accept that customers pay later
- Reconciliations, as they usually borrow third party bank accounts… mostly from relatives.
- Managing to provide change, as there’s a shortage of cash.

We also made a [demo](https://www.loom.com/share/94f22d03aee249718e873fe1551aacf1).

Hope you like it!

If you try it, pls let us know your feedback.  
🕶

Bienvenidos al club @Sebastian_Alarcon 🙂

Aún no entiendo como resuelves el tema del vuelto pendiente, tranquilo que yo vivo aquí y te entiendo!

Últimamente algunos locales están empleando la técnica del Gift Card, BanPlus ofrece un servicio para esto y de hecho, tengo 2 clientes que me pagan así el vuelto 🙃

Saludos

Gracias @SantiagoPerez y @gvalero !

En MoneyBook el comercio abre una cuenta con su cliente.

- De ahí anota que le vendió algo (por ahora lo llamamos “le estoy cobrando”, estamos haciendo pruebas en el UI y el lenguaje). Digamos que la venta es 7$.
- Luego anota el pago. Digamos que fue con un billete de 10$.

La cuenta automáticamente queda con 3$ a favor del cliente.

Sabes cómo se llama la solución de Banplus?

Saludos!
