Sell online in Kenya — free, and you keep the whole sale.

You can sell items on Shopi by creating a free post with photos or video, a price, category and location. Buyers discover your item in the feed or search, then message you directly.

Create a free Shopi account, tap upload, add photos or a video of your item, then set a price, category and location. Your listing goes live immediately and buyers message you inside the app. You do not need a website, a shop, a business licence or any starting capital.

Shopi is built for second-hand selling. Used phones, laptops, furniture, cars, clothes, shoes and home items are among the most traded categories. Post the item with honest photos and a clear price, and buyers near you will find it in the local feed.

Yes. Shopi is free to browse and free to post, and takes no commission on sales. Shopi does not process payments, hold money or sit between the buyer and seller, so whatever the buyer pays you is yours in full.

You can sell everyday legal items such as cars, phones, electronics, furniture, fashion, farm produce, livestock and home items. Prohibited or unsafe items are not allowed.

Buyers message you inside Shopi. From there you answer questions, negotiate, agree on pickup or delivery, and decide payment directly with the buyer.

It depends on what you are selling. Classifieds sites such as Jiji and PigiaMe reach people already searching a category, Facebook Marketplace and WhatsApp groups reach people you are loosely connected to, and Shopi puts your listing in a local discovery feed where buyers come across it without searching for it. The practical questions to compare are: what does it cost to list, does the platform take a cut of the sale, and do you speak to the buyer directly. On Shopi listing is free, there is no commission, and the conversation is between the two of you.

Shopi is free to list on and takes no commission on sales. You can post the same item on more than one site — nothing stops you listing on Shopi alongside anywhere else, and many sellers do exactly that to widen their reach.

On Shopi, nothing. Posting is free, there are no listing fees, and Shopi takes no percentage of what you sell. Costs to plan for are the ones outside the platform: transport or courier if the buyer is not local, and your time answering messages and meeting buyers.

No. You can sell as an individual on Shopi with no registered business, no shop, no website and no starting capital. A phone with a camera and something to sell is enough.
