A free shop page for your business — on every Vendwa plan
Your Instagram bio gets one link. Your WhatsApp status gets a screenshot. And right now, for most shops in Ghana, that one link goes to nothing — or to a page that isn't yours.
A free shop page in Ghana shouldn't be complicated, and this one isn't: every Vendwa plan comes with a public page at shop.vendwa.com/your-shop-name, with your items, your prices in cedis, and an Order on WhatsApp button under every one.
The one-link problem
Think about what happens when a customer asks to see what you have.
You send your Instagram handle. She opens it and scrolls past a bag that sold last month, a repost, a photo from a wedding, your cousin's graduation. Somewhere around the fortieth picture she stops looking, and she still doesn't know what anything costs.
Or you forward photos one at a time. Fifteen messages, ten minutes of your evening, no prices attached, and by the end neither of you can remember which one she liked.
Neither of those is a shop. They're a scrapbook and a conversation.
What you actually get
Your own address. shop.vendwa.com/your-shop-name — you type the name you want and if nobody's taken it, it's yours. Three to forty characters, small letters, numbers and single hyphens.
Your items, laid out properly. Photo, name, price in cedis. If you sort your catalogue into folders, those folders become sections on the page, so someone looking for bags isn't scrolling through shoes to find them.
Sizes and stock, on the item. Tap anything and you get bigger photos, the price, the sizes you have, whether it's in stock, and whatever you wrote about it. This is the part most sellers skip and it's the part that closes sales — "do you have my size" is a question you can answer before it's asked.
Sold-out items stay put. They keep their place with a sold-out badge and they stay tappable, so a customer can ask when it's coming back. That question is often next week's sale.
An Order on WhatsApp button under every single item. Not one button on the page. One under each thing.

Where to put your link
One link, five places, and all of them are free to you:
- Your Instagram bio. The one slot you have. Point it here.
- Your WhatsApp status, whenever you post new stock — the link instead of retyping prices.
- Your TikTok bio.
- Your WhatsApp Business profile, so it's there for anyone who opens your contact.
- Printed things. Flyers, a card, the packaging you send orders out in. A short address people can type is worth more here than a QR code most customers won't scan.
What happens when somebody taps Order
This is where a shop page normally stops working, so it's worth being specific.
She taps. Her WhatsApp opens on a chat with your shop, with the message already written:
Hi! I'd like the Red Ankara Dress (M) — GH₵180. I saw it on your shop.
She sees it in a bubble before anything sends. No form. No account. She presses send.
On a normal store page, that message lands in a phone that's face-down on a bedside table, and by morning she's bought from a shop that was awake.
Here it lands in a chat that's already running. Vendwa answers from your real catalogue — the actual price, the actual stock, more photos if she asks. It quotes your delivery fee for her area. When she asks your last price, it comes down in small steps toward the floor you set on that item and stops there, however hard she pushes. Then it writes the order down and sends your MoMo prompt.
You find out in the morning, with her size, her area and the agreed price already recorded.

What it costs
Nothing extra. The shop page is included on Starter, Pro and Business — the same page on all three, not a smaller version on the cheaper plan. There's no add-on to buy and no separate charge.
Plans start at GH₵199 a month, billed in cedis and paid with MoMo. There's a 14-day free trial, and your shop page works from day one of it. The first 50 shops pay half price for their first three invoices — GH₵99 on Starter.
We take 0% of your sales. Customers pay into your own MoMo wallet, the way they already do. We never touch the money.
Worth knowing what that's unusual against. Most tools that give a Ghanaian seller a shop page charge a monthly fee for the shop page itself — Strawlo's cheapest plan is GH₵60 a month and a shop page is what it is (their L0, checked September 2026). That's genuinely less money than our Starter, and if a shop page on its own is all you want, you should take it.
The difference isn't the price. It's what you're buying. On Vendwa you're not paying for a page — you're paying for something that answers the customer who opens it, and the page comes with it. The shop and the negotiator are the same system, which is why the tap at 11:40pm goes somewhere.
What it is not
An honest section, because knowing this up front saves everybody a bad fortnight.
There's no cart, and no checkout on the page. You can't pay on it.
That's a decision, not something missing. Look at how your last ten sales actually closed: somebody asked a question, you answered, she asked for a small reduction, you gave her GH₵10 and covered delivery within Osu, and then she sent the MoMo. A checkout box can do none of that. It takes the listed price or it takes nothing, and it has never once talked anybody into buying two.
So payment happens in the chat, into your own MoMo wallet — which is where the negotiating already is, and where your customers already pay you. Vendwa sends the prompt with the exact amount. You confirm from your own alert. Nothing gets marked paid on a screenshot or on anybody's word. There's more on that here: taking MoMo payments for WhatsApp orders.
It's also not a marketplace. Your page is yours. There's no directory of every shop, no competitor's item shown next to yours, no algorithm deciding who gets seen. The only way to your page is your link.
Your address is yours, permanently
You choose your shop address once and it's frozen after that. Only support can move it, by hand.
That's deliberate, and the reason is the thing you're about to do with it. It's going in your Instagram bio, on your status, on flyers you've paid to print, in the contacts of every customer who ever ordered from you. A link that changes is a link that breaks, and it breaks quietly — in somebody's saved messages, on a card in a handbag, six months after you forgot you'd printed it.
So take five minutes over it. Short, your shop's name, easy to say out loud down a phone. Not the current promotion, not the year. Then it's yours and it stays yours.
