FAQ
Questions we hear most
Shopify or WooCommerce: which is right for my brand?
Shopify suits most brands that want a fast launch and low maintenance. WooCommerce suits brands that need full control or already run WordPress. We recommend one after the technical review, based on your markets, payment methods and budget.
Can one store take mobile money and European card payments?
Yes. We set up checkout so East African customers can pay with mobile money such as MTN MoMo or M-Pesa, and European customers with cards, SEPA or PayPal, with each order landing in the same back office.
Does the store handle EU VAT for online sales?
Yes. We configure VAT per EU country and set up OSS or IOSS reporting where it applies, so prices and invoices are right for each customer.
Can you connect my store to a warehouse, courier or accounting system?
Yes. We integrate stores with fulfilment partners, couriers, marketplaces and accounting software, so orders, stock and invoices move automatically.
Do you also help with export and logistics?
Yes. Our team knows the supply chain between Africa and Europe, so we can advise on fulfilment partners, customs data and landed costs as part of a build or as a separate project.
How much does a project cost?
The first call is free. After the technical review you get a written scope and a fixed price, so there are no hourly surprises.

About us
A tech partner that knows both ends of the route
Kimataifa Biashara is a software and e-commerce company founded in 2026 for the brands that drive trade between Africa and Europe: designers, makers and retailers ready to sell beyond their home market.
Most web developers build a store and stop at the checkout. Cross-border sales then fail on payments, VAT, shipping or stock. We build the store and the systems behind it, with the supply-chain knowledge to make them work in both markets.
The name
Kimataifa Biashara
Swahili for international trade. It is what we do, in the language of the markets we come from.
