Sell shoes online in Kenya
A sack of shoes waits by the door, and your phone is full of "39 iko?" To sell shoes online in Kenya, list each pair on your own website with its sizes. Track stock, and buyers see which sizes are left before they ask.

Sell shoes online, and show which sizes are left
Add a Size option with the sizes you hold, like 36 to 41 or 40 to 45. Turn stock tracking on for the pair. Each size keeps its own count. A sold size shows as gone, and the rest stay for sale.
A buyer who wants a 42 sees there is a 42, taps it and pays. You stop answering the same question forty times under one post. And you stop promising a size the last buyer took.
A size can have its own price where prices differ. For colours, add a Colour option with a photo each. The buyer sees the pair in the colour they tapped. One listing holds up to three options, so Size, Colour and Width fit on one page.
What if the shoes pinch?
Shoes come back when they pinch. Write your exchange rule once, on your Returns and exchanges page. It then sits under the pay button on every checkout. Add measurements to the description, because insole length in centimetres beats a size chart from another country.
Buyers who trust the fit pay online. Buyers who want to try first choose pay on delivery. That costs you no Mybizna fee.
Pay on delivery across Nairobi, with limits that protect you
A new business on Mybizna takes cash orders of up to KSh 10,000 each. It can have up to five waiting at a time, and one phone may place three a day. The limits grow as your ID, your payout account and your business are checked.
When an order goes out, you send your rider the details from your own WhatsApp or by text. The rider marks it Handed over on their own page. The buyer's text names the rider and the exact cash to have ready. So what does one pair leave you?
What a KSh 3,500 pair leaves you
On Free, a pair paid by M-Pesa carries a 3.9% Mybizna fee. Paystack also takes 1.5% for M-Pesa. Together that is about KSh 189 on KSh 3,500. Paid in cash, the whole KSh 3,500 is yours.
Money for online sales reaches your M-Pesa or bank about two working days after each sale. This starts once your ID is approved. Starter, at KSh 999 a month, drops the fee to 2.5% and adds discount codes. Your first business's 14-day trial of Pro lets you try the codes first.
How it works
Sign up
Use your phone number and the code we text you. Or type your Instagram handle on mybizna.com. Mybizna makes a website from your posts in about a minute.
List each pair with its sizes
Add photos from your phone, the price and a Size option with the sizes you hold. Turn stock tracking on if you want sizes to sell out by themselves.
Set your areas and pickup
Give each area its fee, or price by distance from your pin. Turn on pickup for buyers who want to try the pair on.
Share the pair's link
Every pair has its own link for the caption, the bio and the chat.
Questions
- Can buyers see which sizes are left?
- Yes, once you turn stock tracking on for the pair and give each size its count. A size at zero shows as sold out.
- Can I sell a pair over KSh 10,000 on pay on delivery?
- Not while your business is new. Those buyers pay by M-Pesa or card. Or you can bill a deposit, once your payout number is added. The cash limit rises to KSh 30,000 a pair once your ID is approved.
- Who pays the rider?
- The buyer, on a cash order. They pay the rider the amount in their text. On a paid order, there is nothing to collect.
- Can I deliver to buyers outside Nairobi?
- Yes. Add their town as an area with its courier fee. Or agree the fee in the chat and bill them. Pay on delivery works wherever your rider goes.
