Tapstall Create my store

Built here · priced here · yours · free for 60 days, no order cap

They built for Silicon Valley.
This one was engineered
for your shop.

A store link your customer taps, picks from and pays for — and the order lands in a dashboard you own: name, number, address, items, the exact amount. For shops in Zimbabwe and South Africa that the big platforms were never going to serve.

  • Free for 60 days
  • No order cap
  • No card to open
  • EcoCash · InnBucks · PayShap · ZIPIT
  • Your own Google Sheet

The mainstream providers do not want to work with us. Our cards get declined, our countries are "not supported", our money rails are ignored, and the subscription is priced for California salaries. So we built the shop that works with our rails, here.

01 — Five things this takes off your morning

The wound, then what we did about it.

  • 01

    Sovereign pride: it was built for this market

    Every time you try to buy software abroad: card declined, country not supported, priced for San Francisco.

    What we did: EcoCash, InnBucks, PayShap and ZIPIT are first-class rails here, not an afterthought. One bill a year, in cash or card or transfer — no USD subscription bleeding 15% in withholding before it lands.

  • 02

    Morning relief: your orders stop living in the chat

    The 07:00 knot in the stomach — forty messages, three addresses typed twice, six "I paid you, look" screenshots to match by hand.

    What we did: one link takes the whole order, with a unique amount down to the cent, so the money identifies itself. Your morning becomes a scan, not a hunt.

  • 03

    Territorial urgency: first to answer gets paid

    In a market this small, second place gets nothing. The shop two streets away answers while you are still typing.

    What we did: your shop is live in about 90 seconds, a price change takes two minutes from your own sheet, and an order arrives already written down.

  • 04

    Ownership: no hostage data, no silent bots

    Tools that hold your client list behind a login, speak in your name without asking, and vanish the day you stop paying.

    What we did: the shop lives in your own Google Sheet and your own account. The CSV is yours to hand to anyone, nothing is posted in your name unless you choose it, and a paused month does not delete your menu.

  • 05

    Reciprocity: something real before a cent

    Every other vendor wants a 30-minute discovery call before giving you a shred of value.

    What we did: your store is live and taking orders before you pay anything — free for 60 days, no order cap, no "upgrade to keep selling" cliff.

02 — How it works

One link. One order. One morning you can face.

  1. 01 · 90 SECONDS

    Put your menu in

    Stock, prices and photos go into a Google Sheet you already own. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.

  2. 02 · ONE LINK

    Share it where you sell

    WhatsApp status, Instagram bio, a QR code on the counter. Your customers never install an app.

  3. 03 · THE CUSTOMER PICKS

    And pays the exact amount

    The buyer sees the total, including delivery, priced by you. The amount carries cents so the payment identifies itself on your side.

  4. 04 · YOUR DASHBOARD

    The order is already written down

    Name, number, address, items, amount paid. No transcribing, no screenshots to match by hand.

  5. 05 · TWO MINUTES

    Change a price

    Edit the sheet. The shop follows. No developer, no support ticket, no monthly "sync" that silently fails.

RAIL 01

EcoCash

The wallet your customers already use every day.

RAIL 02

InnBucks

For the buyers who pay from an InnBucks wallet, not a card.

RAIL 03

PayShap

Instant bank-to-bank in South Africa, without a card network.

RAIL 04

ZIPIT

The domestic transfer rails the global platforms never wired up.

Independent. Not affiliated with take.app, Meta, Econet or Ozow. Payment rails are named because that is what shops actually use — not because anyone paid for the mention.

03 — Ownership

Your shop is not our hostage.

The leverage, said plainly: the shops on your street will answer at 16:00, by hand. Yours answers the minute the order lands — with the amount already worked out and the delivery already priced.

  • ✓
    The shop lives in your own Google Sheet Your menu, your prices, your stock. Export it, keep it, take it elsewhere.
  • ✓
    The CSV is yours to hand to anyone Your customer list is not held behind our login.
  • ✓
    Nothing is posted in your name No silent bots, no automatic messages you did not write.
  • ✓
    A paused month does not delete your menu Stop for a season and come back to your shop, not a blank page.

05 — Our promise about promises

No manufactured urgency.

The urgency above is the one your market already has, not one we invented.

  • —
    No countdown timersNothing expires because a clock said so.
  • —
    No invented stock numbers"Only 3 left" is a number from your sheet or it is absent.
  • —
    No pretend testimonialsWhen we have real ones, with permission, you will see them here.
  • —
    Prices, fees and the amount owed are always the truthNever softened by copy.

06 — The cost of the old way

What the chat is charging you.

Count it honestly: messages handled by hand each morning, orders lost because the reply came at 16:00, addresses re-typed, payments matched by screenshot. Most shops find the number is larger than a year of Tapstall — and it is paid every single week.

TIME

Forty messages, one order

The same eleven questions, answered by hand, every morning, forever.

LOST SALES

The one who gave up

The buyer who asked at 08:00 and bought from the shop that answered at 08:02.

ERRORS

The address typed twice

A wrong number, a wrong street, a delivery that goes back out at your cost.

07 — Look after other people's shops?

Agencies, bookkeepers and till resellers start here.

Run a shop for a client, keep their data in their own sheet, and charge for the setup instead of the software. Same rails, same dashboard, one link per client.

Open a client shop
Is my shop really live before I pay?

Yes. Sixty days, no order cap, no card. Nothing is held back to make you upgrade.

What happens to my menu if I stop paying?

It stays in your Google Sheet. A paused month does not delete your shop.

How do I know a payment is for which order?

Each order carries a unique amount down to the cent, so the money identifies itself when it lands.

Do my customers install anything?

No. They tap a link, pick, and pay. That is the whole customer experience.

Can I change prices without help?

Yes — edit the sheet. Two minutes, no ticket, no developer.

Which shop do you want to be at 08:30?

Nothing to install. Nothing to pay today. Your shop is live before you decide.

Quick answers

What Tapstall is, in plain terms.

Tapstall is a store-link and order rail for small retailers in Zimbabwe and South Africa, built for Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram sellers whose orders were previously scattered across chat.

What is Tapstall?

Tapstall is a store link for small shops: a customer taps it, picks from the menu and pays the exact amount, and the order arrives in a dashboard the shop owns.

How much does Tapstall cost?

It is free for 60 days with no card. After that it is $7 a month or $60 a year, or R129 a month or R999 a year in South Africa.

Which payments does Tapstall work with?

The shops it is built for use EcoCash, InnBucks, PayShap and ZIPIT, alongside ordinary bank transfers.

Does Tapstall take a commission?

No. There is no order cap and no commission; the shop keeps its own order data and can export it to its own Google Sheet.

How long does it take to open a store?

About 90 seconds: put the menu in, share the link, and start taking orders from the chat apps the shop already sells in.

Does a customer need to install an app?

No. The store is a page behind a link, so it opens in whatever browser the customer already has.

Why not just use Shopify?

Shopify and the platforms built for Silicon Valley assume cards, couriers and a checkout flow that many shops in Zimbabwe and South Africa do not have. Tapstall is built around local payment rails and chat-based selling.

Who is Tapstall for?

Small retailers and social sellers in Zimbabwe and South Africa, especially those taking orders through WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram.

Prices: Free, then from $7 a month. Every plan, with its checkout link:
