Start an Online Store with a Free Trial
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial — no card required. Build, preview, and publish, then continue on Starter, Growth, or Scale as you grow.
Try first, commit when you are ready
During your trial you can start the chat, generate a storefront, add products, and explore the full product without paying upfront. That lets you validate your offer before committing budget.
Trial access is not a dead-end demo. When you enable Paystack, you can take live orders on a published store — real commerce infrastructure, not a watermark-limited preview.
A 2.5% service fee applies to online orders on every plan, paid by your customer at checkout. Higher plans unlock more storefronts and custom domains when growth justifies the spend.
What you can do during the trial
Describe your shop and review the AI-generated storefront. Add products with photos and prices. Publish pages for About, Contact, and FAQ.
Connect WhatsApp and social channels so your store becomes the link you send instead of endless chat screenshots.
Use the dashboard to see orders and learn what customers buy before you invest in ads or a custom domain.
Why trial before you scale
Many Nigerian and African sellers test demand on Instagram first. A trial storefront is the bridge between informal DMs and prepaid orders.
You learn which products convert, what delivery questions repeat, and whether customers will pay online — data that should drive spending on ads or upgrades.
Avoid paying for enterprise ecommerce before your first ten orders. Launch lean, fulfil reliably, then scale tools with revenue.
When to upgrade
Upgrade when order volume grows, when you want yourbrand.com instead of a subdomain, or when you run multiple storefronts.
Growth and Scale plans add custom domains, higher messaging allowances, and features aimed at shops that have proven product-market fit.
The trial is designed to get you to first sales — not to trap you without a path forward.
A realistic launch checklist
1) Start your trial. 2) Describe your business in chat. 3) Add five to fifteen products with honest photos. 4) Write three FAQ answers — delivery, returns, payment. 5) Publish and share on WhatsApp.
Do not wait for perfect branding. Customers care more about clear prices and trustworthy checkout than animated hero sections.
Revisit design after your first paid orders — real feedback beats guessing in isolation.
