ABOUT SHOPZIM

About ShopZim

A Harare-based online marketplace built for how Zimbabweans actually shop and sell — over WhatsApp, with people you can trust.

Our Mission

ShopZim connects buyers across Zimbabwe with local, independent sellers in one place — electronics, fashion, groceries, home goods and more — without the friction of complicated checkout systems. Instead of building yet another cart-and-card-payment flow, we let buyers browse and add items on the site, then complete the order directly over WhatsApp with a real person, the way most local commerce already happens here.

We're based in Harare, Zimbabwe, and we build every feature on the site to solve a real problem we or our sellers ran into — not to copy what a marketplace in another country does.

What We Offer

Local Marketplace. Browse products from verified Zimbabwean sellers and order in a couple of taps.
Buyer Protection. Payments are held safely until fulfillment, with an inspection window at pickup. See our buyer terms.
Price Check. A crowdsourced tool where the community reports and confirms real prices for groceries and household goods around Harare — see our Price Check page.
Buying Guides. Our blog publishes practical, Zimbabwe-specific guides to help shoppers choose well and avoid getting burned.
Network Marketing Directory. A directory of direct-selling brands operating in Zimbabwe, with clear steps to join. See Network Marketing.
Instant Quotes. Tools like our curtain rod quotation calculator give buyers real pricing before they commit.
