Build, Built to Sell
Multi-Channel Selling
Your customers do not only shop on your site. We set up the channels they already use, including Takealot, TikTok Shop and WhatsApp, and run them from one catalogue so stock and orders stay in step.
What we buildWhat it covers.
- 01
Marketplaces
Takealot and other marketplace listings built from your product data, with the content and imagery each one needs.
- 02
Social and entertainment commerce
TikTok Shop and social storefronts connected to your catalogue.
- 03
WhatsApp
Catalogue, ordering and support flows on the channel many South African customers prefer to talk on.
- 04
One catalogue, one stock source
Products, prices and stock managed in one place and pushed out, so channels do not contradict each other.
- 05
Order handling
Orders from every channel arriving in one place, and routed to fulfilment the same way.
Why it mattersWhat it is worth.
Each channel gives access to shoppers who may never visit your site. Marketplaces bring reach, social brings discovery and WhatsApp brings conversation.
Channels only pay when they are run properly. Mismatched stock, slow listings and messy order handling quickly eat the benefit, so the set-up has to be done well.
What you getWhat you take away.
- 01
Connected channels
The channels you chose, set up, listed and tested.
- 02
A single product and stock source
Data managed centrally, with sync and error alerts.
- 03

How each channel is run, what the rules and fees are, and what to watch.

QuestionsQuick answers
Can anyone sell on Takealot?
Sellers are approved, and some categories have extra requirements. We help you check the current rules and prepare the application.
Will selling on marketplaces undercut my own store?
It can if unmanaged. We set prices and positioning so channels work together, and measure margin by channel.
Do you manage the channels after set-up?
Ongoing channel work, such as retail media and marketplace advertising, is part of Grow.
