Emergency: lock your shop

Web & iOS 1 min read

Think someone is in your account? Lock your shop. Everyone is signed out and MoMo changes freeze, but the agent keeps selling.

An alert about a MoMo change you did not make. A sign-in from a phone you do not own. Do not wait. Lock your shop.

Lock it

On the web:

  1. Open Security.
  2. Tap Emergency? Lock my shop.
  3. Tap Lock my shop to confirm.
app.vendwa.com
/security "Emergency? Lock my shop" and the "Lock your shop?" confirm box. Lock Test shop. DO NOT confirm
/security "Emergency? Lock my shop" and the "Lock your shop?" confirm box. Lock Test shop. DO NOT confirm

In the app: Account, Security, Not you? Lock your shop.

You can also tap This was not me on a MoMo change alert, or the "Not you? Lock your shop" link in our text messages.

What happens

  • You and your staff are signed out on every device, this one too.
  • Nobody can sign in until Vendwa support unlocks the shop.
  • MoMo and phone number changes freeze. A MoMo change that was waiting is cancelled.
  • Customers keep paying your trusted MoMo number.
  • The agent keeps selling. Your customers notice nothing.

Unlock it

Only Vendwa support can unlock a shop. Write to support@vendwa.com, or message the front desk on WhatsApp.

Good to know

  • Only the owner can lock the shop.
  • Locking is written to the Access log, so you can see later what happened and when.
  • If you are not sure, lock it anyway. A locked shop still sells. A stolen MoMo number does not come back easily.
