Kwik is expanding its digital services offering today with the launch of KwikStore. The platform adds yet another exciting service to the already sensational offering it has for African business owners and social sellers.
KwikStore is a free e-commerce storefront solution that allows any African business owner, merchant, social entrepreneur and SME to literally create their own online stores in 5 minutes. Without any technical knowledge KwikStore allows you to manage your business directly from a smartphone.
Social vendors can link their KwikStores to their social media accounts, automating the selling, fulfillment, inventory management, and delivery process, giving them the freedom to focus on sales and marketing. KwikStore is a free feature of the Kwik Delivery app and does not require any down payment or service fees apart from standard payment gateway fees.
Merchants can fully customize their KwikStore to their brand. Once an order is approved by the merchant, payment is automatically processed by payment partners and a Kwik runner is automatically sent to the pickup location; or the order can be picked up directly by the customer.
KwikStore requires a Kwik account but can be used independently of the Kwik Delivery platform, allowing merchants to use the delivery solution of their choice or sell anywhere in Africa, in areas not yet covered by the Kwik Delivery platform.
“KwikStore is an important step in establishing Kwik as the one stop shop for African merchants to manage and grow their business from their smartphone” declared Romain POIROT-LELLIG, founder and CEO of Kwik. “We will continue to expand our offering of innovative digital services aimed at enabling African traders to grow their business with all the benefits that technology brings.”
Kwik was founded in 2018 to provide revolutionary online services to African merchants in the areas of delivery, fulfillment and payment.
