An online store that shares your counter
Publish a store from the catalogue you already keep. Orders, stock, payments and customers stay in the same records as the rest of the business, so selling online does not create a second set of books to reconcile at the end of the month.

Most online stores fail on stock, not on design
A store on a separate platform is a second business with its own product list, its own orders and its own money. It works while volumes are small, and it starts costing customers the first time someone buys something you sold in the shop an hour earlier.
Open in an afternoon
Choose a look, point a domain at it and publish. There is no build phase, no hosting to arrange and no agency invoice waiting at the end of it.
One catalogue, one stock figure
The store sells from the same product records as your counter. Sell the last one in the shop and the store knows, which is the failure that costs you a customer rather than a sale.
Orders that go somewhere
An online order is a real order: it appears in the same queue, moves through the same statuses, and updates the same customer record as everything else you sell.
Four steps to a store that is actually connected
Add your products once
Names, photos, prices, variants and stock. If you already keep a catalogue in Niimbu, this step is already done.
Choose a look
Mobile-first themes, your logo, your colours. Most of your visitors will arrive on a phone, so that is what the themes are built around first.
Point a domain and publish
Use your own domain or the free address that comes with the store. Product pages are built to be indexed rather than hidden behind a script.
Sell and fulfil from one place
Orders, payments, stock and customer history live where the rest of the business lives, so nothing has to be copied across at the end of the day.
Selling online should not create a second business
The usual pattern is a separate store, a separate stock list and a separate payment account, reconciled by hand once a week if anyone remembers. Every one of those seams is somewhere a number can go wrong, and month-end is where you find out.
- Online and counter sales in one order queue
- Stock reduced once, wherever the sale happened
- One customer record across every channel

What comes with the store
No app store to shop in and no plugin to pay for separately. These are part of the storefront from the day you publish.
Your own domain
Point a domain you own at the store, or start on the free address that comes with it.
Mobile-first themes
Built for the phone first, because that is where most of your visitors will arrive.
Variants and options
Size, colour and material with their own prices and stock, not one lump product.
Discount codes
Percentage, fixed amount or free delivery, with limits and end dates.
Delivery zones and fees
Price delivery by area, offer pickup, and set a threshold for free delivery.
Abandoned checkout recovery
A reminder to customers who reached checkout and stopped, which is often the cheapest sale you will make.
Live stock sync
The counter and the store draw on the same figure, so you cannot sell what you no longer have.
Order statuses
Packed, dispatched, delivered, with the customer notified at each step.
Pages built to be found
Clean product urls, real titles and descriptions, and markup search engines can read.
There should be one number for how many you have left.
A store on a separate platform keeps its own count, and the day it disagrees with the shelf you lose a customer rather than a sale. One catalogue, one figure, every channel reading from it.
Trades where the store and the shop have to agree
Fashion and boutiques
Variants for size and colour, with the last piece removed from the store the moment it sells in the shop.
Retail and supermarkets
Sell a portion of your range online for delivery or pickup, without a second stock list.
Electronics and gadgets
Serial-tracked items, clear specifications and stock counts customers can trust.
Beauty and wellness
Sell products alongside services, with deposits taken online before an appointment.
Agro and distribution
Publish a trade price list, take orders online, and keep depot stock accurate.

No monthly store fee, no per-user charge
The storefront is part of your account rather than a separate subscription. You are charged on the payments it collects, at the same rate as invoices, links and the counter.
- No monthly platform fee
- Unlimited products and orders
- Volume rates as sales grow
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a developer to launch a store?
No. You choose a theme, add your products, point a domain at it and publish. The store is hosted for you, so there is no server to arrange, no plugin to keep updated and no agency invoice at the end of the build.
How long does it take to go live?
Most businesses publish the same day. The part that takes real time is product photography and descriptions, not the setup, and if your catalogue is already in Niimbu the products are there before you start.
Does the store share stock with my counter?
Yes, and this is the main reason to run the store here rather than separately. There is one stock figure per product. A sale at the counter reduces what the store can sell, and an online order reduces what is on the shelf, so you cannot accidentally sell the same item twice.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Point a domain you already own at the store, or start on the free address that comes with it and add your own later. Moving to your own domain does not break the links you have already shared.
How do customers pay on the store?
By card, transfer or USSD at checkout, on a page carrying your business name. Payments settle into the same account as your invoices, links and counter sales, so there is one balance rather than one per channel.
Can I charge for delivery by area?
Yes. Set delivery zones with their own fees, offer pickup as an option, and set a spend threshold above which delivery is free. The fee is calculated at checkout rather than agreed afterwards in a message.
Will my product pages show up in search results?
They are built to. Each product has a clean url, a real title and description you control, and structured markup that search engines can read. That is worth more to a small business than a store that looks impressive but cannot be found.
What does the storefront cost?
There is no monthly fee for the store itself and no per-user charge. You are charged on the payments it collects, at the same rate as every other channel. Full details are on the pricing page.
The rest of Get Paid
Collection works best when the channels share one set of records. Each of these feeds the same customer, invoice and account history.
