Registration for your events.
Seminars, launches, conferences, dinners — free or paid. Share one link or QR code; people register on their phone, get your SMS with how to pay, and you see who's coming and who has paid.
- Free and paid events
- Your own questions
- Mark who has paid
- Invite on WhatsApp
How it works
Register, confirm, invite
Each event gets its own link and QR code, its own questions and its own SMS. Put the QR on the poster, the flyer or your social media, and watch registrations arrive.
1They register
2They get your SMS
- Heading and description for the event
- Up to 8 questions, optional or required
- Answers inside your welcome SMS
- Every registration in Excel (CSV)
3Invite them on WhatsApp
Send the event poster as an image to your Visitors group with NITASHIRIKI / SITOSHIRIKI buttons. POASMS counts the answers, thanks each person, and gives you the list of who is coming.

Your payment instructions, your money
Set the price and tell people how to pay — your M-Pesa Lipa Namba, bank account, anything. They see it the moment they register and get it in the SMS. When the money arrives, mark them paid.
- Price and payment instructions shown right after registering
- Payment details in the confirmation SMS as {payment}
- Mark paid with the payment reference — undo any time
- Filter All · Paid · Not paid, and see the total collected
- Paid people get their own group for reminders and tickets
- The money goes straight to you — POASMS never holds it

Is it free to use?
Yes. Creating events and taking registrations is free with your POASMS account. You only pay for the SMS or WhatsApp messages you send — the confirmation SMS is one SMS at your normal rate.
How do people pay for a paid event?
You write your own payment instructions — your M-Pesa Lipa Namba, bank account or anything else. People see them the moment they register, and they are in the confirmation SMS. The money goes to you directly; POASMS never touches it.
How do I know who has paid?
Open the event in POASMS. Every registration has a Mark paid button with space for the payment reference. Paid people move into the event's Paid group, and you can filter All / Paid / Not paid or export the list to Excel.
Can I message only the people who paid?
Yes. Each event has a group for everyone registered and, once you mark payments, a "— Paid" group. Send a reminder, directions or the programme to either group by SMS or WhatsApp.
What about people without a smartphone?
Your team opens a private door link on a phone or laptop and registers them by hand — at the entrance or by phone.
Can I ask my own questions?
Yes. Up to 8 per event — organisation, number of guests, T-shirt size, a list of choices — each optional or required. The answers appear in the registrations list and in the export.
