Common problems

What holds Online Shops back online?

Customers ask before they buy

Staff lose hours answering the same questions on WhatsApp about prices, sizes and stock, and sales slip away when replies come late.

Social media alone is fragile

A shop that sells only through a social page depends on the platform's reach, and a hacked or suspended account can wipe out the storefront overnight.

Payments are hard to track

M-Pesa confirmations arrive as text messages, so matching payments to orders by hand leads to missed deliveries and disputes.

How we help

How does NairoHost help Online Shops in Siaya?

A catalogue that answers questions

Every product has photos, prices, sizes and stock status, so buyers can decide before they message you.

A storefront you own

Your shop lives on your own .co.ke or .com domain, and social posts link back to it instead of replacing it.

Orders and payments in one place

An e-commerce checkout with an M-Pesa payment plugin records each order with its payment, so dispatch works from one list.
