List your market stall online in Kenya for free, with buyers messaging you directly

Your regulars already know which row you are on. This is for everybody else: the buyer from another county, the customer who lost your number, the one who was told about you and never managed to find you.

List your stall for free

Free to list. No account, no card, and no commission on anything you sell.

What a listing replaces

The number scribbled on a receipt, and the photograph of your goods that vanished into a status the next morning. Your page stays put, keeps the pictures, and can still be found by somebody who only half remembers what you were called.

  • Your own page with its own web address
  • Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
  • A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
Photo
Your listing: a photo, your category and town, reviews from customers, and a message button.

Nobody has to learn anything new

One short form, filled in once. No account, no password, nothing to log back into. The enquiries arrive in the WhatsApp already open on your phone, and you answer them the way you answer everything else.

  • No account and no password, just one short form
  • A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
  • Free to list, with nothing to pay later

The busiest weeks are the worst weeks to start

From the end of October the market does not really slow down again until the schools open. Listings are also checked before they go live, so there is a wait between sending and appearing. Both point the same way: doing this in a quiet week now means being up when Black November arrives, rather than filling in a form with customers standing in front of you.

One tap from your listing opens a chat, on the WhatsApp you already use.

You get paid the way you already get paid

Nothing changes about how money reaches you. You send your M-Pesa details in the chat yourself, exactly as you do now, and no M-Pesa payment ever passes through us. There is no commission because there is nothing for a commission to be taken from.

  • No commission on anything you sell
  • Free to list, with nothing to pay later

Photos of the work do the deciding before anybody types a word.

Questions

Do I need a website?

No. The listing is what customers find, and that is the entire idea.

What will it cost me?

Nothing to list and no commission on what you sell.

Can somebody fill the form for me?

Yes, as long as the WhatsApp number on it is the one you actually use.
