Yoco today announced a direct integration with Stub, the SA-built online accounting platform, automating reconciliations between Yoco's payment rails and Stub's books. Sales data flows from Yoco into Stub in real time, with Stub categorising each transaction, matching payments to invoices and tagging sales with location data.

Owners can connect through either platform's app. Here’s a video on how to do the integration, which went live yesterday (2 June 2026).

Yoco serves more than 200,000 SA independent businesses, most still reconciling payments and books by hand. Stub, founded by Tayla Dandridge, has positioned itself as the local alternative to Xero and Sage with the full package at R150 a month (around a third of legacy pricing), plus a free tier. 

The Yoco integration adds device-level performance data, so a coffee chain with three branches can see live which one is outperforming. It builds on an existing Stub-Capitec tie-up that already pipes transactions from business owners' personal Capitec accounts into Stub's books. 

The launch lands one week after Yoco acquired Dyner.ai, signalling Yoco's roadmap is now compounding ecosystem partnerships rather than payment-feature releases.

Two SA-on-SA integrations in a week is not a coincidence; it's a roadmap. The cumulative effect is that an SA coffee shop, market trader or tradesperson can now run payments, point of sale, AI-driven ops, accounting reconciliation, banking and business insights through one connected SA-built stack. 

At every step, Yoco has picked SA-built operators over the obvious international plug-in, keeping the rand on the local side of the ledger and meaning the next time someone asks why there isn't a Square for SA, the answer is: there is, and it's quietly more ambitious than Square.
