Sell to Africa with a Klasha Business Account

Population surge, increase in mobile e-commerce, fast urbanisation, mobile penetration, and adoption of new technologies, among others, are significant contributors to the continuous rise in African online retail. 

Global attention is currently on Africa, among other markets, as various research has shown that the continent is rapidly moving towards its full economic growth due to the high numbers of buyers in Africa. 

According to a report by the International Trade Administration, e-commerce users in Africa are expected to surpass half a billion by 2025, showing a steady 17% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of online consumers for the market.

As a merchant that wants to sell into Africa’s biggest consumer markets, now is the time to launch your local or international business to the vast digital audience on the continent. Aside from figuring out the best e-commerce platform for your business, detailed here, an easy and seamless payment experience is vital for you to have new and returning customers to your offline or online business, which is what Klasha offers.
