The problem

Selling online in Africa needs more than a template

Customers want to pay with M-Pesa, see delivery costs by area and track their order. Vendors want their money fast.

  • Templates without local payment options
  • Delivery fees and zones handled manually
  • Vendor and rider payouts done by hand
  • Orders lost between WhatsApp and the website

FAQ

E-commerce & Marketplaces: common questions

Something else? Ask us directly and you'll get a straight answer.

Should I use Shopify or a custom build?

If you sell a modest catalogue and need to launch fast, a hosted platform can be right. If you need M-Pesa-first checkout, marketplace payouts or custom delivery logic, a custom build usually pays off. We'll tell you honestly.

Can vendors get paid automatically?

Yes, using M-Pesa B2C or bank payouts through a gateway, with commission deducted and every payout logged.
