From the first sale to the last payment
This is how an installment contract runs in your shop with Nteqo, step by step, and who does each step.
Steps
Step 1: The shop joins
We set up the shop and its branches, and add staff with their roles: owner, manager, sales, collector. Each person sees only what their role and branch allow.
Done by:The Nteqo team

Step 2: Sale and enrolment
Staff create the customer and the contract: price, down payment and a weekly or monthly schedule. They check the phone model is supported, then enrol the phone with protection before handing it over.

Step 4: Reminders
SMS and WhatsApp messages go out before and on each due date. Late contracts appear in the shop’s follow-up list.

Step 5: When a payment is overdue
After the grace period and the notices, Nteqo may propose a restriction. Nothing happens on its own: a manager confirms the restriction or holds it.
