Kikapu

Headless commerce, built to scale

“Basket” — your commerce, your way

Kikapu is a headless commerce engine that handles catalogues, carts, orders, inventory, and payments — and exposes it all through a clean, well-documented API. Build your storefront in anything: Next.js, Flutter, a USSD menu, or a WhatsApp bot. Kikapu does the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

The problem we solve

Global platforms charge in dollars, lock you into their themes, and treat M-Pesa as an afterthought. Local businesses need commerce infrastructure that speaks their payment rails and bends to their channels — not the other way around.

What you get

01

API-first

Every capability is an endpoint. Connect any frontend or channel without compromise.

02

Local payments native

M-Pesa, Paystack, and card payments are first-class, not bolt-ons.

03

Inventory & orders

Real-time stock, multi-location, fulfilment workflows, and order lifecycle out of the box.

04

eTIMS-ready

KRA-compliant invoicing baked in so you stay tax-ready as you scale.
