Across our cities, the best craft and services come from hardworking independent business owners—from carpenters and tailors to plumbers, mechanics, and salon owners.
Many digital platforms charge high commission fees (often 20% to 30%) on every job, or lock customer contact behind paid walls. We started Online African Market with a different goal: to give local merchants an easy way to be found online, while letting them speak directly to their clients with zero commission fees.
When a customer finds a business on our directory, they contact the owner directly through WhatsApp or phone. Quotes, payments, and terms are agreed directly between the customer and the artisan.
How It Works
Direct Contact
Customers chat directly with business owners on WhatsApp or by phone. No call center in between.
Zero Commission
Merchants keep 100% of what they charge. We do not deduct transaction fees from your jobs.
Verified Listings
We check phone numbers and locations so customers can discover trustworthy neighborhood services.
