Online shopping is becoming more of the “In-thing” in Uganda with lots of start ups creating online shopping platforms. Many started from using Facebook to showcase their products asking clients to inbox if they were interested in anything particular. After this, we saw more established platforms like MEKA.ug and now many more other have joined the online shopping arena.
Our latest is Kaymu (Now Jumia.ug) an online shopping platform that lets you buy or sell items online. The platform lets people list items for sell as well as buy any items you might be interested in. What it does is gets a lot of shop owners/suppliers that have physical locations and registers them as partners. The partners then list their products and merchandise that customers purchase should they be interested. It also allows ordinary users who want to sell anything to do so.
To list items or buy something from Kaymu Uganda, one has to go through a quick registration process where your details are captured. Kaymu offers 2 major things:
