It’s been our mission to make commerce better for everyone ever since. Just over a decade ago we started an online store to sell snowboard equipment directly to those who loved the sport as much as us. We could have listed our products on a number of marketplaces, but we wanted to own our brand and build relationships with our customers, along with selling our goods. Such a tool didn’t exist, so we built it for ourselves. We soon realized a number of other stores were in need of a hassle-free platform to build their retail business, and Shopify was born. We focus on making commerce better for everyone, so businesses can focus on what they do best: building and selling their products. We’re really proud of our success and growth and we’ve worked hard to nurture our company values and culture. We encourage everyone to experiment, take risks, and push the envelope. Customers will expect options of where and how to buy: in-store or online, delivered or for pick-up. We’re growing, and we’re looking for talented people who can make commerce better. Andy Higgins, founder and former Managing Director at bidorbuy.co.za, joined forces with the Jump Shopping team in 2012 following which the company rebranded as uAfrica.com in order to facilitate a broader focus on all aspects of eCommerce. uAfrica.com has since launched a custom-built shipping solution which helps online merchants to streamline their shipping and selling processes by providing access to multiple South African couriers on one platform. uAfrica also has a Multichannel solution, which gives merchants the ability to sell their goods across multiple platforms such as bidorbuy.co.za, Shopify and PriceCheck. It identified and gave recognition to companies that show excellence operating in the eCommerce space within South Africa.
