🇿🇼 Our Story

Built in Zimbabwe,
for Zimbabwe

Shop263 exists so every trader, boutique, tuckshop, and side-hustle can compete with the big retailers — with tools that actually work for the way we do business here.

Why we built this

Commerce in Zimbabwe is already digital. The tools weren't keeping up.

Thousands of businesses sell every day through WhatsApp statuses, Facebook groups, and word of mouth. The hustle is real — but the tools are scattered. Prices live in chats, stock lives in someone's head, and payments live everywhere.

Shop263 brings it all together: a professional storefront, local payments, a point-of-sale for walk-in customers, and a marketplace where buyers actually find you. Built here, for here.

Our values

What we stand for

Every decision we make traces back to these four principles.

Local First

EcoCash before credit cards. WhatsApp before email. We build for how Zimbabwe actually trades, not how Silicon Valley thinks it should.

Accessible to All

Free to start, works on any phone, light on data. No coding skills, no design background, no big budget required — ever.

Trust & Safety

Verified sellers, moderated listings, and real accountability — so every buyer shops with confidence and every seller's reputation is protected.

Grow Together

When our sellers win, we win. Our pricing scales only with your success — so we're always on the same side.

The platform

Everything a Zimbabwean seller needs

Three pillars that work together so you can focus on selling.

Your Own Storefront

A branded shop with its own web address. Product pages, categories, photos, prices — everything a buyer needs to decide and buy. Not just another chat thread.

Included on all plans

Mini POS for Walk-ins

Ring up any sale at the counter straight from your phone — cash, EcoCash, or transfer. Stock updates automatically. End-of-day report in one tap.

No extra hardware needed
