- In a world that is increasingly digital, it is only natural to want to access everything online, even shopping.
- The rise of online shopping sites has made this possible and has provided some level of comfort and satisfaction to customers.
- The essence of online shops is to save yourself some time, money, and the hustle of physical stores, just by using your phone or computer.
What are some of these sites from which you can shop at the comfort of your home?
1. Jumia
This is what probably comes to Kenyans’ minds when you mention online shopping, since it is the biggest online shopping platform in Kenya, well-known to most.
The most pulling factor for the platform is their ‘pay after delivery’ option which augurs well with customers.
They also provide the option of shopping in different categories, including fashion, office, beauty, furniture, etc.
2. Kilimall
This platform has a striking resemblance to Jumia, but their prices are relatively lower.
Kilimall does not have the option to pay after delivery and instead, one pays first as they await delivery.
They also offer different categories such as those in Jumia, and in addition, they have promotional deals every now and then such as Black Friday sales and flash sales.
3. Jiji
This is an online platform where buyers meet sellers and vice versa.
Advertising via this platform is free, but sellers also have the option to upgrade to premium advertising for ad prioritization on Jiji platform.
The items sold via this site are just about anything, even cars and furniture.
Usually, most sellers are looking to dispose off items in their households which they no longer need.
4. Masoko
This is another online platform that belongs to Safaricom company, launched back in 2017 for tech and fashion products.
They are also well-equipped with a range of mobile phones and phone accessories, and Masoko is known for the genuineness of its products, which is why their prices are a bit on the upper side compared to other platforms.
5. Copia
Copia is taking the online marketplace by storm due to its uniqueness.
The platform is able to serve people in the remotest parts of Kenya and deliver to them goods in bulk within a specified time.
The product categories at Copia include health and beauty products, farm tools, construction materials, etc.
