Remember my earlier articles about the top e-commerce platforms in Zimbabwe? Well, I’m back for another round, but this time, I’m taking a deeper dive.
Why the change of heart? Let’s just say that I got complacent and ended up drifting away from my objective, and I wasn’t able to give these platforms the attention they deserve. But I’ve been following the e-commerce scene closely, and it’s clear that things have been evolving rapidly. New players have emerged, existing ones have evolved, and the overall landscape is far more dynamic than it was before.
So, consider this a reboot of my original series. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be revisiting some of the platforms I covered previously and introducing you to some new ones. I’ll be looking at everything from user experience and product selection to payment options and delivery services. And of course, I’ll be sharing my honest opinions and insights along the way.
To ensure a great assessment, I’ll be using a set of criteria to evaluate each platform(if applicable):
- UI (User Interface): How easy is it to navigate the site? Is the design intuitive and visually appealing?
- Performance: Does the site load quickly? Are there any glitches or bugs?
- Accessibility: Is the site accessible to users with disabilities?
- Market Size: How many buyers and sellers are active on the platform?
- Product Selection: Is there a wide variety of products available?
- Customer Support: Is customer support responsive and helpful?
- Pricing: Are the fees and commissions reasonable?
I’m excited to embark on this journey of rediscovering Zimbabwe’s e-commerce landscape. I hope you’ll join me as I share my findings and insights. And as always, if you have a marketplace you’d like me to review or additional criteria you’d like me to consider, feel free to reach out through the contact form on this site.
Stay tuned for my first review, coming soon!
