Ton.io is a prepaid payment app for traditional Georgian Tone bakeries. Customers top up once via their existing TBC or BOG banking app and pay for bread with one tap. A small Bluetooth device at the counter confirms payment instantly — no WiFi, no action from the baker, no per-transaction fees. Built for a market where standard card terminals charge up to 8.3% per transaction on a 1.20 GEL loaf, making digital payments economically unviable for most Tone owners.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We're Ton.io — a small team of students from Tbilisi, Georgia, building something we genuinely believe in. Tone bakeries are everywhere here. Fresh bread for 1.20 GEL, baked in a traditional clay oven, bought by thousands of people every morning. And majority of them can not pay by card. We surveyed 32 bread buyers — 78% had wanted to pay digitally and couldn't. 41% walked away without buying. We built Ton.io to fix that: a prepaid balance app with a passive Bluetooth confirmation device that requires nothing from the baker. No fees on transactions, no WiFi needed, no complexity. Would love your feedback — especially from anyone who has tackled two-sided adoption problems in emerging markets.
