Guides
Set up your store with AI in one message
Describe what you sell in plain language during onboarding — Duka's AI organises your categories and subcategories automatically, so you skip the busywork and start listing products right away.
Getting paid: Paystack vs. bank transfer
Accept cards, bank transfers, and USSD instantly via Paystack, or confirm manual bank transfers yourself from your dashboard. Set up both, or whichever suits how you already do business.
A tour of your dashboard
Track orders, manage stock levels, update your storefront banner and featured products, and see everything customers see — all from one place, on desktop or your phone.
Showcase products with Reels
Upload short product videos that appear in Duka's Discover feed. Available on Pro and Business plans — a fast way to catch a shopper's eye before they even reach your store.

Clear product photos, honest stock counts, a real delivery address, and fast replies do more for trust online than a shop signboard ever could. Practical habits that convert first-time visitors into buyers.
Getting your first sale faster
Share your store link everywhere you already talk to customers — WhatsApp status, Instagram bio, group chats. Duka's affiliate program also lets your first customers earn by referring the next ones.
