South African e-commerce technology company uAfrica.com has partnered with the e-commerce platform Shopify to provide its services to the South African market, Business Tech reports.
According to Business Tech, South African businesses sell through a combination of web storefronts, online marketplaces and in-person and this partnership helps bridge the gap and streamline business operations and sales, uAfrica.com said.
The group in early May said it raised $1.5 million from bidorbuy.com, and Andy Higgins, MD of the company.
uAfrica.com provides multi-channel cloud-based e-commerce services to SMEs across Africa and has been operating in the e-commerce space since 2004.
“We have seen impressive traction across small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) – approximately 800 active South African merchants sell with Shopify – as merchants turn to Shopify to help them sell everywhere,” said Brennan Loh, Shopify’s head of business development.
