Buyers message you right here

They ask, you answer, you agree the price and the pickup. Shopi never touches the money.

Why sell here

Your item gets found without paying to be seen.

Most marketplaces wait for a buyer to type the exact words. On Shopi, people scroll a feed the way they scroll social apps, and listings near them come first — so your post reaches buyers who weren't even searching for it yet. Posting is free, there's no commission, and every message comes straight to you.

Get found by people who weren't searching

Buyers come across your item while they scroll, not only when they type the exact words.

Nearby listings appear first, from your neighbourhood outward

Every buyer talks to you, not a middleman

No cart, no checkout, no broker in between. You answer, you negotiate, you agree the pickup.

One tap from the listing to a real conversation

Skip the writing — Shopi Agent drafts it

Upload a photo and get a title, description and specifications to edit, instead of a blank form.

Photo in, complete draft listing out

From photo to published

Four steps, and your item is in front of nearby buyers.

There is no long form to fight with and nothing to pay. Create a free account, add your photos, let Shopi Agent draft the words, then publish. Your listing enters the local feed straight away.

Create your free account

You don't need a registered business, a website or a verified phone number to sell here. Sign up with Google, an email address, or Apple on an iPhone.

Add photos or a video

Shoot the item on your phone, or import a video you already made on TikTok. Clear media is what makes a buyer stop scrolling and open your listing.

Let Shopi Agent write it

Upload a photo and Shopi Agent drafts the title, description, category and specifications. You read it over and change anything you want before it goes live.

Publish and reply to buyers

Set your price in shillings, mark it negotiable if you like, and publish. Nearby buyers see it in the feed and message you inside Shopi, where you agree the price and the pickup directly.

What it costs you

The price you agree is the price you keep.

Shopi doesn't process payments, hold your money or arrange delivery, so there's nothing for us to take a cut of. The buyer pays you directly, and all of it stays with you.

KES 0

Commission and listing fees

Sell a sofa for KES 45,000 and you keep KES 45,000. Posting is free, and nothing comes off the sale.

Counties, nearby buyers first

Your post reaches the people closest to you first, whether you're in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Meru or anywhere in between.

Chat, from first question to done deal

Buyers message you inside Shopi. Answer questions, agree the price and set the pickup in one thread you can scroll back through.

Start selling

Whatever you have, someone nearby is looking for it.

The phone you upgraded from. The plot you inherited. The car you are done with. The skincare you sell from home. Post it manually or let Shopi Agent turn a photo into a complete listing, then deal with buyers yourself from the first message to the final shilling.

Phones and electronics

The Samsung or iPhone you upgraded from loses value every month it sits in a drawer. Post it, or that spare laptop or TV, with the condition and price, and buyers message you directly.

Shopi Agent

One photo. A finished listing.

The reason most people never post is the writing. Upload a photo and Shopi Agent drafts the title, description, category and specifications for you. Nothing publishes until you have read it and made it yours.

Who posts on Shopi

Sound like you? You already have everything you need.

A farmer in Kiambu films the animals in the shamba, sets the price and posts. Buyers nearby message directly, so the price is the farmer's to set, not a broker's.

Farm produce & livestock

See what's in the feed

A phone dealer in town photographs a clean iPhone. Shopi Agent drafts the title, the storage, the condition and the description, the dealer fixes the price, and it is live before the next customer walks in.

Phones & electronics

Sell phones and electronics

Someone selling skincare and wigs from home posts each product with shades, sizes and delivery options. No website to build, no shopfront to rent, and no commission taken off what a customer pays.
