Sell clothes online in Kenya
You hang the new dresses on the rail, and a buyer asks for the green one in M. To sell clothes online in Kenya, put every size and colour on one page of your own website. Each colour gets its own photo, and each size its own price. The order arrives with the exact size and colour.
KSh 0 to start,
no card.
Answer "Iko M?" before anyone asks
A dress on Mybizna can have up to three options, such as Size and Colour. Each option can hold up to thirty choices. Give each colour its own photo, and each size its own price where they differ.
As the buyer taps, the page shows the right photo. It shows the total before they pay. Then the order lists the size and colour they tapped, so you pack the right one.
Stock tracking is off until you turn it on, because a made-to-order piece has no count. Once you track a listing, each size and colour keeps its own count and shows Sold out by itself. Nobody pays for the one medium you sold yesterday.
Say what happens when it does not fit
Buyers who have never met you want to know what happens if it does not fit. Your website has a Returns and exchanges page that you write yourself. Its first line sits under the pay button at checkout.
The Verified seller mark shows once your ID and payout account are checked. The returns line, the mark and the order count answer "ni legit?" for you.
Turn one dress into a repeat buyer
For a clearance, show a "was" price beside the new one. Discount codes for your followers come with Starter, at KSh 999 a month. Business adds an email list and offers sent to it. It also sends a reminder to a buyer who started paying and stopped.
All of it works in the 14-day Pro trial your first business gets. The trial starts once your phone number is confirmed. Every buyer's number and orders stay in Customers. So the buyer who took three dresses in March is easy to find in June.
How you get paid when you sell clothes online
Buyers pay by M-Pesa, by Visa, Mastercard or Apple Pay, or in cash to the rider. Once your ID is approved, M-Pesa buyers get a prompt on their phone. Before that, they use the paybill. You set delivery areas with a fee each, or price by distance, and pickup.
Money from online sales reaches your M-Pesa or bank about two working days after each sale. That starts once your ID is approved. On Free, the fee is 3.9% of online payments. Cash carries no Mybizna fee.

Questions
- Can one dress have a different price for each size?
- Yes. A size option can have its own price. The page shows the price for the size the buyer taps.
- How many pieces can I list?
- Ten on Free, fifty on Starter, and as many as you like on Business and Pro. Sizes and colours of one piece count as one listing.
- Can buyers exchange a size?
- That is up to you. Your policy, in your words, sits on your Returns page and under the pay button. Mybizna does not set it for you.
- Do I need an ID to start selling?
- No. You can list and take cash orders from day one. Once your ID is approved, you get M-Pesa prompts and payouts of online sales.
