Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Kivoo: opening your store, selling, getting paid and working as a team.
Getting started
An online sales platform for creators across Africa: you open your store, sell digital files, event tickets and payment links, your buyers pay with the payment methods of their country, and Kivoo delivers and lets you know about every sale.
A few minutes. Sign in, name your store, add your first product and share your address your-name.kivoo.co.
No. Everything happens from your phone or your computer, with no code and nothing to install: you fill in forms, Kivoo takes care of the store, the payment and the delivery.
Yes, up to ten stores per account, each with its own address, identity and products.
Selling
Digital files (e-books, PDFs, templates, presets, music, photos, videos), tickets for your events, on site or online, and payment links for a deposit, a membership fee or a service.
As soon as the payment is confirmed, the buyer gets an email with a download link valid for two hours, then finds the files any time in their My purchases space. Your files are stored privately and are never accessible without a purchase; only the free preview of a PDF’s first pages is public, if you turn it on.
You create your event with its ticket categories (Standard, VIP…) and their number of seats. Each ticket leaves by email with its QR code. On the day, your door staff open the check-in link on their phone, without a Kivoo account, and scan the tickets: a ticket gets in only once per event day.
To get paid without selling a catalogue product: a deposit, a membership fee, a service, a free contribution. You set an amount or let the buyer choose above a minimum, share the short address on WhatsApp, and every payment becomes a sale in your store.
Payments
With the payment methods available in their country, offered automatically when they pay.
No, there is nothing to create: they give their name and email (or their phone number for a payment link), pay, and get what they bought right away.
For every paid sale, you get an email and a notification in your dashboard, and a text message if you turn it on in your preferences. You can also receive a weekly report of your week every Monday.
Pricing and payouts
Nothing to open your store, no subscription: Kivoo keeps a commission on each paid sale, and nothing else. The rate and a simulator are on the Pricing page.
Every paid sale feeds your store balance, commission deducted. You request a payout from your dashboard whenever you want; Kivoo adds no payout fee.
Account and team
Without a password: with a code sent by email, or with your Google, Facebook or X account.
Yes. Invite members by email with a role: Admin (manages everything except what is reserved for the owner), Marketing (products, sales and buyers) or Support (read only). Their actions appear in the store’s activity log.
