About the marketplace
A marketplace where buyers find everyday low prices and traders build their own spaces.
What we are
English Market Place is a marketplace for buyers and traders, built on the best practice of the biggest ecommerce sites: Amazon's search and ranking, Alibaba's trader spaces and quote requests, Costco's bulk value, and Walmart's everyday low prices and rollbacks. Groceries sit beside gadgets; a trader in Bamenda sells beside a wholesaler in Guangzhou.
For buyers
Search ten departments, compare prices in XAF with US dollars alongside, read ratings and reviews, buy in bulk at a lower per-unit price, or ask a trader for a quote. Pay on delivery while mobile money and card payments are being set up.
For traders
Open your own space with its own @handle — a public page with your products, ratings and story. List products, set bulk tiers, answer quote requests, and grow your customer base. Your space is yours: your name, your prices, your reputation.
Where we are going
This first build is a demo with sample data, so the marketplace can be tried end to end. Next come real trader accounts, real payments (MTN Mobile Money, Orange Money, cards, PayPal), and delivery tracking — then the marketplace opens for real trading.
