Why buyers and sellers choose Shopi
Shopi makes the path from “I saw it” to “I messaged the seller” shorter: local discovery, real media, direct chat, and no Shopi checkout in the middle.
KES 0
Commission or fees
Shopi never sits inside the transaction. Sellers keep their price, and buyers pay the seller — not us.

Chat from find to deal
See it, message the seller, agree on price and pickup. No cart, no checkout, no middleman.
The Feed
A feed that learns what you like.
Search works when you already know the exact words. The feed is for the other moments: you scroll and come across a sofa, a clean phone, a used car or fresh produce you were not planning to search for.
- Nearby sellers show up first, from your estate outward
- Video and photo posts with real price and location
- Tuned by what you open, save and message — not by ads
Direct chat
No checkout. Just a conversation.
There is no cart, escrow or Shopi agent holding money. Tap to chat, ask for more photos, negotiate, and choose where to meet or how to deliver — the deal stays between you.
- Message the seller in one tap
- Agree on price, pickup and payment directly
- Shopi never holds your money
Sell on Shopi
Post it in seconds. Sell it nearby.
Record what you are selling, add a price and location, and post. Buyers around you discover it in the feed and message you directly — no website, no checkout setup, no commission removed from your sale.
- Free to list, always
- Share the same post straight to TikTok
- Keep every shilling of your price
Direct deal flow
A local deal without the long route.
Open the feed, find something nearby, message the seller, then agree on the deal directly.
01
Open the feed
Start with the feed. Cars, phones, fashion, furniture, farm produce, livestock and home items appear as real posts from real sellers.
02
See what is nearby
Location helps surface sellers around you first, then your interests help sort what rises to the top, so the feed stays practical and relevant.
03
Message the seller
Ask if it is available, request details, negotiate, and agree on pickup or delivery. The conversation is direct.
04
Agree outside checkout
Shopi does not process payments or take a cut. Buyer and seller decide price, payment, meeting point and delivery between themselves.
Local use cases
Made for everyday Kenyan buying and selling.
A farmer in Kiambu records the animals, adds a price and location, then posts. Buyers can see the listing in the feed and message directly, without a broker setting the conversation for them.
Farm produce & livestock
A phone dealer in town posts a clean iPhone with clear photos, video and a price. Someone nearby spots it while scrolling, asks a few questions, and they decide where to meet.
Electronics & phones
Shopi keeps the classifieds idea people know from sites like Jiji, but makes discovery feel closer to a social feed. The difference is simple: every post is something for sale, with a seller you can message.
Fashion, furniture & more

Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
What is Shopi?
Shopi is a social discovery classifieds marketplace for Kenya. Sellers post what they are selling, buyers discover items in a nearby feed, and both sides message each other directly to agree on price, pickup, delivery and payment.
Does Shopi handle payments or delivery?
No. Shopi does not process payments, hold money, arrange delivery or take commission. The app helps buyers and sellers find each other, then they agree on the deal directly.
How is Shopi different from normal classified ads sites?
Most classifieds start with search filters. Shopi starts with discovery: short posts from nearby sellers appear in a feed, so buyers can find useful items even when they did not know exactly what to search for.
How does Shopi personalize my feed?
Shopi learns from what you open, like, save and message about. If you keep engaging with cars, your feed can show more cars. If your interest moves to fashion, furniture, phones or farm produce, the feed can adjust.
What can I buy and sell on Shopi?
Shopi is built for everyday local selling: cars, phones, electronics, fashion, furniture, home items, farm produce, livestock and other goods that people in Kenya already buy and sell.
Does Shopi work across Kenya?
Yes. Shopi is built for local discovery across Kenya, including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Meru and smaller towns. Nearby posts are prioritized, but buyers and sellers can still connect across locations.
How do I create a Shopi account?
Go to shopi.co.ke and tap Sign in, then create an account with Google or with your email address and a password. Sign in with Apple is available on Apple devices. You do not need a registered business or phone-number verification to join.
How do I post something for sale on Shopi?
Sign in and tap Create, then add a video or photos of your item, a title, a description, a price in Kenyan Shillings, a category, and your location. Publishing is free and the listing goes live in the local feed immediately.
How do buyers and sellers communicate on Shopi?
Through Shopi's built-in chat. Open a listing and tap Message — the conversation happens inside Shopi, not on WhatsApp. Buyer and seller then agree on price, payment, and pickup or delivery directly.
