The order is agreed before anybody travels
A shop owner working out a restock wants to know what is available, at what price, from whom, and they want it in writing so both sides can check it later. Your listing is the step before that conversation and the reason somebody who has never bought from you has your number at all.
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Your own page with its own web address
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
A floor and a shop number is not an address
Directions only help somebody who was already coming. A listing gives you a name that can be searched, a page that can be forwarded to a cousin in another province, and a button that starts the conversation before anyone works out which entrance.
- Your own page with its own web address
- A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
- Listed under your category and your city
Wholesale runs a season ahead of retail
Shops fill their shelves for Black Friday and the December run in the weeks before either of them starts, which puts your busiest enquiry period in the quiet part of the calendar. Grocery stokvels do their bulk buying on the same early schedule, because the payout is planned and the wholesaler is chosen long before the trolleys come out. Being findable while those decisions are being made is worth more than being busy once they are done.

Questions
Is it genuinely free with nothing to pay later?
Yes. No listing fee, no monthly charge, no commission and no card. We have no way to take payment at all.
Do I need a website first?
No. The listing is the thing buyers find, and most shops here have nothing else online.
Can buyers in other provinces reach me?
That is the main reason to be listed. The message button works from anywhere in the country.
How soon does my page go up?
Not immediately. Every submission is checked before it goes live, which is why listing ahead of a busy stretch is worth doing.
