About us

We're building the commerce layer for African WhatsApp.

WA-B started in Madina with one Waakye stand that was losing orders to unread messages. Today it runs checkout, payments and delivery for shops from Madina to Takoradi on the number their customers already use.

The story.

WA-B started in 2026 in UPSA. 2 students discussed on a call how to solve the issue of slow whatsapp messages when ordering form vendors and just like that WA-B was born. We built the first version of WA-B that weekend: a single Python script that took her order, charged MoMo, and printed a receipt.

3 months later we'd outgrown the script. The platform now runs tens of merchants across Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi. Auntie Grace is customer #1 and still on the Kiosk plan.

We're a small team: 4 engineers, a designer, 1 operations leads. We're not VC-funded. We're profitable, and we plan to stay that way.

What we believe.

Meet sellers where they are.

No app to teach. The chat they already answer becomes the shop.

Cash is a first-class citizen.

MoMo and cash-on-delivery are not edge cases here; they're the default.

Show the math.

Fees, payouts and estimates are printed in full, never buried.

Build for bad networks.

Offline queues, durable webhooks, retries. Orders don't get lost. And thats a promise
