From signup to first sale
in four simple steps
No developers, no design skills, no foreign payment gateways. Here's exactly what happens when you join Shop263.
Open your shop in minutes
Create your account
Sign up free with just your name, email, and phone number. Pick a name for your shop — that becomes your shop's web address.
Get verified
Our team reviews every new shop to keep the platform trustworthy. Most shops are approved within one business day.
Add your products
Upload photos, set prices in USD, and organise products into categories. Your storefront updates instantly.
Start selling
Share your shop link on WhatsApp and socials, appear in the marketplace, and take orders online or over the counter with the built-in POS.
One dashboard runs your whole business
Your Shop263 dashboard isn't just a website editor — it's where you manage stock, orders, walk-in sales, and customers in one place.
- Branded storefront — your own shop page with products, categories, and checkout.
- Marketplace listing — approved shops appear in the shared marketplace where buyers browse.
- Built-in POS — record cash and EcoCash sales at the counter, with receipts.
- Order management — track every order from placed to delivered.
- WhatsApp-first selling — buyers can reach you directly on the channel Zimbabwe already uses.
Get paid the local way
EcoCash, OneMoney, InnBucks, bank transfer, or cash on delivery — you choose which payment methods your shop accepts. Money goes straight to you; we never hold your funds.
Buyers shop with confidence
Every shop is reviewed before it goes live, listings are moderated, and buyers can report problems directly to our team.
Shopping local, made simple
