A few things you may be wondering

Before you open up.

What is Spaza, exactly?

Spaza is a platform for creating and running your own online shop. It hosts your storefront, displays your catalogue and gives you a workspace for managing products and orders. You bring your business and customers; Spaza provides the online shopping tools.

Do I need a website or design experience?

No. Your shop gets a hosted Spaza link, and the setup guide takes you through the essentials. Choose a look, add your content and preview it before publishing. Eligible plans can also connect a domain you already own.

Can I sell more than groceries?

Yes. Spaza supports product catalogues for local food sellers, clothing, fresh produce, household goods and general shops. Choose the category that fits your business and check the plan's product limits.

How do I receive customer payments?

Depending on your plan and setup, you can offer PayFast, EFT or cash on delivery. Online shop payments use the PayFast merchant account you connect for your business. EFT and cash orders remain unpaid until you confirm receipt.

Does Spaza deliver orders or find customers for me?

You manage collection and any local delivery you offer. Share your shop link with your customers through channels such as WhatsApp and social media. Spaza does not provide a courier service or guarantee sales.

Can I look at my shop before it goes live?

Yes. After activating a plan and setting up your shop, use the private preview to check its appearance. Complete the required products, payment and fulfilment steps before you publish.

A little local. A lot to love.
