Empowering Zambian Commerce
In Every Town and City.
Pakashop is a B2B2C marketplace designed to help local businesses connect with customers across Zambia, removing the barriers to online selling.
What We Do
Pakashop is Zambia's first comprehensive B2B2C ecommerce platform. We provide a space where Vendors (manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers) can list their products and reach Buyers (individual consumers and other businesses) effortlessly.
Whether you are looking for a singular household item or sourcing bulk inventory for your own shop, Pakashop provides the tools, secure payments, and logistics infrastructure to make it happen.
"Zambian small businesses are the backbone of our economy, yet many are invisible online. We decided to change that."

From a Student Vision to
Zambian Reality.
Pakashop was founded in the halls of an academic institution by Elijah Manda. As a student, Elijah observed the disconnect between small local shops in Lusaka and the growing number of tech-savvy Zambians looking for convenience.
What started as a simple coding challenge quickly evolved into a mission-driven project. Elijah saw how hard it was for family-owned businesses to keep up with regional competitors without an online presence.
Today, Pakashop is growing into a bridge for Zambian commerce — a platform that is proudly local, community-focused, and built to the highest technical standards.
