7 years building for African businesses
Start selling on a platform that already knows your market
Every milestone below started as a real merchant problem that had no affordable answer.
The first version went live for a single market trader who needed an online shop and no agency fees.
We rewrote the core so thousands of businesses could run isolated workspaces on shared infrastructure.
Native checkout launched with cards, bank transfers, USSD and mobile wallets settling in local currency.
AI moved into the product, drafting copy, themes and whole storefronts from a plain-language brief.
$2M raised to grow engineering, AI tooling and regional support teams across five markets.
Half a million orders processed a month by teams who have never written a line of code.
7 years building for African businesses

Choose from 3,000+ ready-made blueprints covering e-commerce, subscriptions, memberships, bookings and services. Tell us your industry and Afobata configures the pages, checkout, tax rules and settings for you. Need something no one has built yet?

Hosting, storefront, checkout, subscriptions, team roles and reporting — built, connected and maintained by the same platform.
Choose a blueprint, connect payments, publish. Most founders take their first order within hours of signing up.
Each workspace gets its own data store, domain and permission model — never shared tables with strangers.
Revenue, retention and funnel reporting update live and filter by product, channel or region.
Structured metadata, clean markup, sitemaps and fast server rendering ship with every template.
Switch on storefronts, memberships, bookings or digital downloads from the same control panel.
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, access logs and SOC 2 aligned controls on every tenant.
Distributed infrastructure, automated failover and daily backups included on every plan.
Responsive storefronts plus installable apps for iOS, Android, Windows and Linux.
Live chat and email on all paid plans, priority queues on higher tiers, a dedicated manager on Enterprise.
Commerce, payments, automation, reporting and security arrive connected — not as five separate subscriptions to reconcile.
Product listings, carts, checkout, shipping zones and tax rules set up for your region on day one.
Cards, transfers, USSD and mobile wallets from customers in 190+ countries, paid out in your currency.
Live revenue, cohort retention and funnel views you can slice by product, channel or country.
Invite staff with scoped access, and run separate client accounts from one login.
Automate order follow-ups, low-stock alerts, invoices and onboarding emails with no code.
Encryption at rest and in transit, audit trails and per-tenant isolation on compliant infrastructure.
No developer retainer, no setup call, no waiting on someone else's timeline.
Sign up free, name the platform and pick the blueprint closest to your business. Roughly two minutes, start to finish.
Upload your logo, set your brand colours, import products or services, price everything, connect a payment method — and let AI draft your first copy.
Point your domain, hit publish and begin taking orders — with SEO, analytics and mobile apps working immediately.
