Dropshipping, built for South Africa
Sell online without buying stock first.
Pick products from South African wholesalers, put them in your own store, and keep the difference. You only pay the supplier once your customer has paid you — there is no stock to buy and no deposit to put down.

How it works
Four steps, and the first three take an afternoon.
You choose what to sell and how to sell it. The platform does the parts that used to need a warehouse, an accountant and a developer.
1
Sign up
You get a published store with a starter range already in it, so there is something to sell before you have chosen anything.
2
Pick your products
Browse the wholesalers on the platform, push what you like into your store, and set your own price on each item.
3
Market it
Share your store link on TikTok, WhatsApp or Instagram, or push products into the Skynat Market where shoppers browse.
4
Get paid
The customer pays you, the supplier ships the parcel, and your margin lands in your wallet once it has been delivered.
Your own store
A shop that looks like yours, not like software.
Ten templates, your colours, your name, your domain. Built mobile-first, because that is where your customers are.
Your own addressA free Skynat subdomain to start, your own domain when you are ready.
Built for a phoneSwipe between categories, save with a heart, pinch to zoom a photo — and it installs to the home screen.
Made for social sellingOne link per product for a TikTok bio or a WhatsApp chat, and a bio page that holds all of them.
Honest by designStock numbers and "sold this week" lines come from real orders. There are no invented countdowns on any store we host.
The Skynat Market
One marketplace, and your store's name on every product you put in it.
Shoppers browse one app-like market, the way they do on the big marketplaces. The sellers behind the products are named on every card, so the shop you are building is the one that gets the credit.

Free traffic you did not have to buyPush a product to the feed and it is in front of everyone shopping the market that day.
You are the seller, not a line itemYour store name, your verified badge and your delivered-order count sit on the product page, with a link straight to your shop.
A place has to be earnedYour own photographs, your own words, a verified identity and a price that still pays you. That bar is what keeps the market worth browsing.
Wholesalers stay behind the counterShoppers never see who supplies the product. The relationship, and the customer, stay yours.

The money
You never pay for stock out of your own pocket.
This is the part that breaks most dropshipping deals: you float the stock, and you carry the risk. Here the customer's payment covers the supplier, and what is left over is yours.
No deposit, no floatNothing is pre-funded. The supplier is paid out of the money your customer already paid.
A price floor that protects youThe pricing advisor shows the lowest price that still leaves you a profit after the supplier and the fees.
Returns have a pathChange-of-mind and faulty-goods returns follow the Consumer Protection Act, and the system walks both sides through it.
What you get
The work behind a shop, already built.
Everything here is part of the platform — not a list of integrations you have to go and buy.
Photo studio
Turn a supplier photo into your own: a clean studio shot, your brand colour behind the product, or a styled setting. The product itself is never altered.
Pricing advisor
What the same product sells for elsewhere, and the lowest price that still leaves you a margin after fees and delivery.
Ads and creatives
Ad copy and square creatives built from your own listing, ready for Meta or TikTok, with your spend staying on your own ad account.
Orders and tracking
Orders split to the right supplier automatically, with tracking, a delivery guarantee and a failed-delivery flow that asks the customer what to do.
Sell where you already are
Connect WooCommerce or Shopify, or list on Takealot, and keep the same stock and the same supplier behind all of them.
Numbers that mean something
What sold, what it cost you, what you made, and which product is quietly losing money — in rands, not vanity charts.
Pricing
Start at nothing. Pay when it is making you money.
Prices include VAT where it applies. You can change or cancel a plan from inside your dashboard.
StartR0 foreverYour first store, and your first sales.
Payment processing fees are charged by the payment provider on each sale, as they would be anywhere else. Delivery is quoted to the customer at checkout.
For wholesalers and manufacturers
Put your stock in front of hundreds of small sellers.
You keep the stock and pack the orders. The sellers find the customers, run the marketing and carry the cost of it. You get paid per order, with nothing listed publicly under your name.
No shopfront to runOrders arrive with a picking list, a label and the address already on them.
You set the wholesale priceSellers add their own margin on top. Your price to them never changes without you.
Your name stays off the shelfShoppers see the seller's store, not your business.
No. You list a wholesaler's product at your own price. When someone buys it, their payment covers the wholesale cost and the delivery, and what is left is your margin. Nothing is bought before a customer has paid.
When do I actually get my money?
Your margin is credited to your wallet when the order is marked delivered, and you can withdraw it to your bank account from the dashboard. It is paid after delivery rather than at checkout because that is when a return can still change the amount.
Who ships the parcel?
The wholesaler packs it and hands it to the courier. You can add your own branded packaging slip, and the customer gets tracking either way. Your customer never sees the wholesaler's name.
What happens when a customer returns something?
The return runs through the platform: the customer opens it from their order page, you approve or decline it, and the refund is worked out according to the Consumer Protection Act and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act. Seven days for a change of mind, six months for something faulty.
Do I need a company or a VAT number?
No. You can sell as an individual. We verify your identity and your bank account before you can take money or appear in the market, because the shoppers on it are buying from real, checked people. A registered company and a VAT number are supported if you have them.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. The Start plan is R0 a month and includes a published store with up to 25 products. You only move up a plan when you want more products, your own domain or the extra tools — and you can do that after your first sales, not before.
Your shop can be open tonight.
Sign up, pick a few products, and send the link to the first person who asks what you are selling.
