Welcome to Exowpee

Madame Illa sells cement and iron rods in Cotonou. Her cashier takes the money, her storekeeper counts the bags in the warehouse, her accountant wants the figures at the end of the month. Exowpee is where those people record what they do, so that the products, the stock, the customers, the money and the books stay in step. The same applies to a pharmacy, a drinks depot, a wholesale group or an accounting firm. Exowpee serves one shop or several companies under one organization, and an accountant can keep the books of the clients of a firm. These pages describe what Exowpee does today. If a page and the application disagree, the application is right and the page is a bug.

Follow a story from start to finish

A journey crosses several topics in one continuous story.

• Open your shop on Exowpee: from an empty account to the first sale and the end-of-day count.
• Give a new employee access: the rights a job needs, and nothing more.
• Open a second shop: a new site, stocked from the first, with its own team.
• Restock from a supplier on credit: order, receive and pay later.
• Close the month with your accountant: check the books, reconcile the bank, declare VAT, hand over the files.

Use the API

The API reference has one page for each action, with every field, condition and effect. Start with Quickstart to make a first call, then see Your first API call to run the application on your machine.

• Sign in is the first call of every session.
• Lists use cursor pagination, amounts are stored in minor units with their currency exponent, and ?fields and ?include choose what a response contains. Quickstart shows each of them.
