HOW TO SEND MONEY II<br />
The recently-introduced short code for using Zaad creates a locally unprecedented affordance, allowing a transaction to happen<br />
with only two commands. The interplay between the sender and receiver is interesting, especially in a retail setting.<br />
A seller indicates the price for an item intended for purchase. The buyer finds or asks for the seller’s posted Zaad number. The buyer enters a short code, the seller’s Zaad, and the item cost.<br />
Since this shorthand does not support fractions of a dollar, the buyer<br />
typically rounds up. In contrast to the purest form of short code, he<br />
does not yet enter his PIN—he first wants to confirm the seller.<br />
He receives feedback of the seller’s identity and the amount to be<br />
transferred. If correct, he enters his PIN.<br />
The seller receives a confirmation of transfer, including the<br />
buyer’s name and phone/Zaad number.<br />
As no US change is available in <strong>Somaliland</strong>, change is then given in<br />
shillings.<br />
