StyleHub needed a platform that could handle thousands of products from multiple vendors while providing a personalized shopping experience. We built a fully-featured marketplace with vendor management, AI product recommendations, and integrated payment processing tailored for the East African market.
The East African e-commerce market has unique payment requirements—mobile money is the dominant method. Existing solutions did not support local payment gateways and multi-vendor workflows simultaneously.
We integrated MTN MoMo and Airtel Money alongside card payments, built a custom vendor onboarding flow, and implemented a recommendation engine that learns from browsing patterns to surface relevant products.
StyleHub onboarded 120+ vendors within three months. Conversion rates improved by 35% thanks to the recommendation engine, and mobile-money transactions accounted for 78% of all orders.
