About Mtepe
Mtepe gives sellers who work on Instagram, WhatsApp and TikTok their own shop at their own link. Customers choose what they want, pay by M-Pesa, and pick where to collect: a Pickup Mtaani agent, a matatu parcel office in their town, or the seller's own shop. The seller packs and sends.
What we believe
Your money is yours. Customers pay straight into the seller's own M-Pesa till, paybill or number. Mtepe never receives, holds or delays it, and there is no wallet to withdraw from.
Your customers are yours. Every shop stands alone at its own address. We do not put other sellers' products beside yours or advertise them to your customers.
Small and fast. Shop pages are built to load quickly on a phone with a weak signal, because that is where your customers are.
Who we are
Mtepe is run by Hosea Kiptoo Kurgat, in Nairobi, Kenya.
It began as the shop for one Nairobi seller who sold on Instagram and was taking every order, and every payment, one conversation at a time. Everything in it is built around what that seller needed: a link customers can order from without a chat, the money straight into the seller's own till, and a clear list of what to pack and where to send it.
