What's new

Type your Instagram username and your posts become products: photos, names and the prices from your captions. Reels come in as product videos. You choose which posts to add, and confirm the account is yours with a code in your bio, so nobody can copy your shop.

Type 36-45 or S, M, L and how many of each, and buyers choose their size before they order. The size they picked now shows on the order, so you know which one to send.

Products with no description, or only a line, get one written in one go. Read them, change anything, and save the ones you like.

When a product, or one size of it, is down to 2 or sells out, we email you. You can turn it off under Settings → Emails.

A cart bar with the total at the bottom of the screen, clearer prices and product names, the Add to cart button always in reach on phones, more products loading as buyers scroll, and a Clear search button.

Products whose stock you don't count now show In stock, and buyers can order more than one.

Questions about your shop? WhatsApp us on 0753 102 002, or tap Help on WhatsApp in your dashboard.

An email for every new order, when your money is sent to you, and every Monday a short look at your week: visitors, orders and sales.

The last step of opening a shop now asks for your first products: a photo, a name and a price.

Besides your M-Pesa number and your till, your sales can now be paid to your bank account.

Customers book a time with you and pay a deposit by M-Pesa. Bookings land in your diary.

Have a Buy Goods till? Your sales can be paid straight to it.

duka.bio/shops lists shops by kind and by town, with "Shops near me". Your shop appears once it has products with photos.

Set where you deliver and what each place costs. Buyers pick their area at checkout, or send their order to you on WhatsApp instead.
