About
Build the tool around how people actually buy, not around a bank card
Shafrik is an e-commerce platform for sellers who mostly sell cash on delivery. The idea is not to copy a tool designed for Europe or North America and bolt COD on the side. It is the opposite: start from the customer who wants to see the product before paying, and build the store, the orders and the AI around that.
Why Shafrik exists
In Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Guinea, Mali or Cameroon, a large share of first online purchases is paid on delivery, in cash or Mobile Money, when the parcel arrives. Generalist platforms often treat that as an option. Poorly managed, COD becomes refused parcels, unreachable customers and wasted time. Shafrik is built for that job: capture the order cleanly, notify you immediately, and give you the statuses and tools to get it to the door.
What we build
Three pieces, on purpose in one place:
- A public store (subdomain or your own domain) designed to convert on cash on delivery, not merely to “have a website”.
- A dashboard for products, orders, customers and team, usable on a computer and on a phone.
- MOLIA, the intelligent collaborator: product pages from a photo, answers from your real data, actions on orders with your approval every time. Detail on AI store.
Cash on delivery, Mobile Money and order management are not modules added later. They structure the product from day one.
How money moves
Shafrik takes no commission on your sales. The customer’s money, cash or Mobile Money, goes from them to you, the platform never touches it. What Shafrik charges is the subscription to the tool (store creation is free, no credit card, then plans if you want more capacity). This is not a marketplace: your customers are yours, and so is your till.
Who is behind it
Shafrik was founded by Martin Olivier. The team stays deliberately small: the product moves with sellers on the ground, not a “unicorn” pitch. Legal mentions, publisher and hosting are public on the legal notice page. For a concrete question, the Contact link in the footer opens an email to the team.
Where we operate
Store creation is open worldwide, in the country’s currency. Francophone Africa is the main market: that is where cash on delivery and mobile money are native, not optional extras. Country-by-country guides are on countries covered.
What we do not promise
To stay honest: Shafrik does not replace your logistics. You stay responsible for your riders, their rounds and collecting the money. We organise the information (order, status, customer history, follow-ups) so that part is easier to run. We also do not claim that a tool alone “guarantees” sales: it removes friction; the rest depends on your offer, your photos and your follow-through.
Go further
The blog explains the COD craft without generic theory. The comparisons put Shafrik next to other platforms, without knocking them. If you want to recommend Shafrik and be paid for it, that is the affiliate programme, distinct from partnerships (agencies, logistics, media).
