Browse Our Catalog
We list a wide range of products across every department - electronics and phones, computers, home & kitchen, fashion, groceries, health & beauty, baby & kids, automotive and more - alongside local services. Discover them through our website, app, social media channels, and targeted advertising.
Post Your Request
Tell us what you need and we instantly broadcast it to verified sellers in your area - nearest first. Sellers in Mutare see requests from Mutare, Harare sellers see Harare requests, so quotes come back local and delivery stays fast.
Receive Multiple Quotes
Local sellers send back quotes with firm prices and delivery costs. You'll receive multiple competitive offers, giving you the power to choose based on price, location, delivery time, and seller reputation.
Choose Your Seller
Compare offers and select the seller that best meets your needs. Whether it's the best price, fastest delivery, or closest location, you're in control of the final decision.
Complete via WhatsApp
Your request starts on our website and carries on through WhatsApp, making communication seamless and familiar. Agree the details with your chosen seller, arrange delivery, and pay them directly when it arrives.
Our Commission Model
Pay-Per-Use System
Sellers maintain a prepaid balance and only pay when they receive value:
- $0.50 per request broadcast - when we send a buyer request to a seller to quote on.
- 4% of the agreed price - when the buyer accepts a seller's quote and the deal completes.
- 4% direct-request fee - when a request comes in for a seller's own listing and goes straight to them, no broadcast needed.
Important: No sales means no commission. We only earn when our sellers earn. It's a true partnership model.
