Soko
Made for your business

Features

Everything Soko does, in one place.

Every feature listed here is included in every plan — no add-ons, no gating on the essentials. Starter and Pro differ on caps (products, staff, custom domain), not on capability.

Build your store

A professional shop, without a developer.

Pick a theme, drop in your logo and products, and your shop is live on a real URL — no code, no hosting to manage.

Storefront themes

Five themes at MVP — Clean, Boutique, Bold, Grocer, Modern. Each is fully customisable: colour palette, typography, logo, banner, layout density. Switch themes any time; your products and orders stay put.

Custom domain (Pro)

Start on your free <yourshop>.sokoshops.co subdomain. When you're ready, connect your own domain (yourbusiness.ug, yourbusiness.com) and we handle the DNS + SSL. Pro plans only.

Video coming

Connect a custom domain in 4 minutes, including DNS verification.

Site customisation

Logo, tagline, hero banner, About section, socials, favicon, newsletter popup — every visible surface configurable from your dashboard. No code involved.

Sell anywhere

Meet buyers where they are.

Ugandan buyers shop on WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and their phones. Soko meets them on every one.

Online checkout

Real cart-and-checkout on your storefront. Buyers see stock, add items, pay directly — mobile money, card, or on delivery. Order confirmation email fires automatically.

Buyer flow: land on shop → add to cart → checkout on MoMo → order received.

WhatsApp checkout

One-tap WhatsApp handoff on every product — buyer messages you a pre-filled order summary. Great for high-consideration purchases, custom orders, and buyers who prefer to chat first.

WhatsApp handoff from product page → seller confirms → order landed.

Mobile-first storefront

Over 90% of Ugandan buyers shop on their phones. Every Soko storefront is built mobile-first — fast loads even on 3G, touch-friendly tap targets, portrait-optimised product cards.

Same storefront on desktop, tablet, and phone — all responsive.

Get paid

Every payment method your buyers actually use.

MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, cards, and cash on delivery — all natively supported. Funds settle to your account within 24-48h.

Mobile-money & card payments

MTN MoMo and Airtel Money via MarzPay STK push. Cards (Visa, Mastercard) via hosted checkout. One flow for the buyer, one settlement for you.

Buyer pays UGX 50,000 with MTN — STK approve on phone — you see the order.

Automatic settlement

Buyer payments settle to your Soko wallet within seconds. We remit to your MoMo number or bank within 24-48h, minus MarzPay's processing fee. No manual reconciliation.

End-to-end money flow: buyer pays → Soko wallet → payout to your MoMo.

Grow

The tools to turn a first sale into a hundred.

Analytics that make sense, discounts that convert, and a customer database that reminds you who bought what.

Analytics

Sales, revenue, visitors, conversion, top products — with day / week / month / quarter / year comparisons on every metric. Weekly performance email so you never have to check the dashboard.

Operate

Everything you need to run day-to-day.
