Kwik Launches Kwikstore, an Easy-To-Use E-Commerce Solution

July 23, 2022

Kwik (Kwik.delivery) is expanding its offer of digital services today with the launch of KwikStore – adding yet another exciting service to the already sensational offer it brings to African business owners and social vendors.

KwikStore is a free ecommerce storefront solution that allows any African business owner, merchant, social vendor entrepreneurs and SMEs to create their own online stores literally in 5 minutes without any technical knowledge and to run his or her business directly from a smartphone

Social vendors can link their KwikStores to their social media accounts, automating the sale, fulfillment, inventory management and delivery process, giving them the possibility to focus on sales and marketing. KwikStore is a free-to-use feature of the Kwik Delivery app and requires neither down payment nor service charge apart from standard payment gateway fees.

Merchants can fully customize their KwikStore to their brand. Once an order is approved by the merchant, payment is processed automatically through payment partners and a Kwik rider is automatically dispatched to the pickup location; or the order can be picked up directly by the customer.

KwikStore requires a Kwik account but can be used independently of the Kwik Delivery platform, allowing merchants to use the delivery solution of their choice or to sell anywhere in Africa, in areas not yet covered by the Kwik Delivery platform.

“KwikStore is a milestone in establishing Kwik as the one-stop-shop for African merchants to run and grow their business from their smartphone” declared Romain POIROT-LELLIG, Founder & CEO of Kwik. “We will continue to expand our offer of innovative digital services focused on enabling African merchants to grow their business with all the benefits that technology brings.”

“We are very proud to have developed KwikStore in Nigeria with our growing software development team” declares Olivier DECROCK, Cofounder & CTO of Kwik. “Kwik is strongly committed to build its development capacity in the country.”

Kwik was founded in 2018 to provide groundbreaking online services to African merchants in the fields of delivery, fulfillment, and payment.

On-demand delivery service, Kwik Delivery has expanded its delivery service to 4-wheels vehicles, becoming the first full-stack last-mile delivery platform in Nigeria. Kwik Delivery said that it is expanding its app-based breakthrough delivery service to 4-wheels delivery vehicles. This includes vehicles such as hatchbacks, pick-ups, SUV, vans and small trucks up to 5 tons. Kwik Delivery is a B2B delivery platform focusing on providing reliable delivery services inside large Nigerian cities by connecting riders and customers. The service currently covers Lagos and Abuja.

“Many of our customers have expressed the need to use our platform to deliver large items or merchandise that do not fit in a bike’s cargo box” explains Romain POIROT-LELLIG, Founder & CEO of Kwik Delivery. “By enlarging its platform to these new larger types of vehicles, the Kwik platform becomes the first full-stack last-mile delivery platform in Nigeria.”

Using the Kwik Delivery app, customers can request a delivery vehicle track their shipment in real time and benefit from many additional vehicles. The 4-wheels vehicle can be booked for a same day delivery or for any future date and loaders can be requested as well. Kwik Delivery is vetting the vehicles and drivers and ensures consistent quality of service. It also provides goods in transit insurance.

Launched in 2019, Kwik Delivery is an on-demand, last-mile delivery platform that connects African businesses to independent delivery riders, dubbed Kwiksters. The Kwik platform is currently open to Kwiksters operating in Lagos State and Abuja. The Kwik Delivery app is available on iOS and Android. Kwik Delivery is the trading name of Africa Delivery Technologies SAS.
