Honest answers

The questions every African business owner asks us first.

The Free plan is free forever — no card required, no transaction fee surprise. Paid plans start at R299/month (≈ $16) and include unlimited products, M-Pesa, EFT, Paystack and WhatsApp checkout. We never take a cut of your sales on any plan.

Yes, you can leave any time. Every account can export their full product catalog, customers, orders and content as CSV or JSON from /privacy/data. We also publish a /migrate guide for moving in or out — Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, all supported.

Ubuntu BizBox runs in English, French, Swahili, Arabic and isiZulu — full parity, not just menus. WhatsApp support replies 7 days a week from real humans based in Johannesburg, Nairobi and Lagos.

Payments run through Paystack (PCI DSS Level 1) and Safaricom Daraja (M-Pesa). Payouts are next-business-day to your bank or M-Pesa wallet. We publish a live /status page and a /api/public/payments-sla feed so you never have to guess.

Yes. The store front-end is under 50KB on first paint, works on a R1,500 Android, and degrades gracefully to a WhatsApp-only checkout on 2G/3G — no JavaScript required for buyers to place an order.

Most owners launch their first store in under 2 hours from a template. We have 50+ industry-specific templates (fashion, salons, groceries, safaris, digital products). If you'd rather not, our partners can build it for you — see /partners.

Your business, online by tomorrow.
