01Simplicity
Simple before complicated.
Software should be calm, clear, and useful. No unnecessary complexity—just clean tools that do the job.
Why We Built Shoopa
Running a shop in Africa is hard. Your software shouldn't be.
We started Shoopa because African retailers lose too much money and sleep juggling paper notebooks, fake bank alerts, unrecorded sales, and endless WhatsApp DMs. We give you one simple app to run your entire shop from your phone with peace of mind.
The Reality
Running a retail business shouldn't give you daily headaches.
Shop owners spend hours waiting for bank transfer alerts, recording sales in paper notebooks, answering the same WhatsApp DMs, and losing track of stock.
The Old Painful Way

Endless WhatsApp DMs

Fake Bank Alerts

1M+Merchant Mission Target
Built for Local Realities
Africa is the starting point.
African commerce has its own realities—local payment methods, social selling, mobile-first customers, physical stores, multiple sales channels, unreliable connectivity and rapidly changing business needs.
We build around those realities.
Our Philosophy
How we build.
Our engineering and design principles guide every decision we make across the product.
02Pragmatism
Built around real businesses.
We build for how merchants actually work—across physical counters, social chats, and online stores.
03Localization
Africa is the starting point.
Local commerce isn't a special case. It is the foundation of how we build every workflow.
04Automation
AI should be useful.
AI should reduce repetitive daily work and help complete sales, not create more noise.
AI in Practice
AI should help you run the business, not just talk about it.
At Shoopa, AI is designed around real business work—helping customers, understanding products, reducing repetitive tasks and making commerce easier to manage.
