Ghana’s leading online marketplace Kaymu has partnered with Tigo Cash to facilitate online transactions
The emergence of Kaymu on the African continent has come at a time when e-commerce is gradually getting the deserved recognition it needs. Technology has taken a center stage in the affairs of nations and organizations and is quickly connecting individuals in their everyday transaction.
In Ghana, visiting markets especially on Saturday mornings is an old culture among the women. Journeys are made to Makola, Abgogbloshie and Mallam Atta among a few to buy weekly supplies for homes.
The growing internet culture and the advent of e-commerce has made buying and selling much easier. Sellers can reach a large customer base while buyers have the opportunity to compare prices amongst a wide variety of products, an advantage that brick and mortar markets presents.
According to Kaymu MD Tim Burkly, “Kaymu and Tigo Cash have partnered to make the process of buying and selling more seamless by providing a stress free payment method for buyers and sellers to conduct their business transaction”.
Tigo Cash agents have been stationed in key parts of the country and in every location for easy accessibility. To partake in this service, Kaymu customers who are users of Tigo can dial 100 or 0578100100 for non-Tigo users to access the nearest Tigo Cash Agent. Once an agent is located, customers request to make a payment for their products purchased on Kaymu and provides the Agent with ID details upon which a payment confirmation message will be sent to them.
The partnership ensures that buyers can promptly pay for items on Kaymu. This sort of convenience and safety beats the normal stress of going through town despite the weather conditions, time constraints or security in carrying large sums of money for long periods of time looking for the right pair of shoes.
