Introducing Haayaa Storefront

Since we launched Haayaa, our focus has been on ways we can improve and provide businesses in Nigeria with more efficient solutions for managing and selling products online.

On that note, we are pleased to announce the launch of Haayaa Storefront.

The Haayaa Storefront is a headless e-commerce solution that allows businesses of all sizes and types to manage and sell their products online with flexibility and efficiency.

Essentially, the Haayaa Storefront enables businesses to customize their websites without the technical complexity of web development.

What We Want To Achieve

Our goal with this launch is to change how the e-commerce system in Nigeria works. That is why we provide businesses with simplified tools to help them better adapt to the digital marketplace.

We do not only want businesses to grow; we also want to allow aspiring entrepreneurs to start their businesses with minimal risks. This is why we made the storefront free of charge.

Our intentions are clear: We want to make advanced e-commerce technology accessible to all businesses, regardless of type, size, or budget.

We want to allow businesses to customize their online stores to suit their brand.

We also want to ensure that every business owner can access this solution without the help of a third party. This is why we have designed the storefront to be user-friendly, so even those with limited technical knowledge can set up and manage their online store effectively.

We Always Have You In Mind

We reiterate that our main goal is to constantly find ways to improve business operations, management, and sales for all Nigerian small business owners.

The launch of Haayaa Storefront is significant for the Nigerian market, where the digital economy is rapidly expanding. Here are some of the key benefits for Nigerian businesses:

Empowerment of SMEs: Small and medium-sized businesses, which are the backbone of the Nigerian economy, can now access a sophisticated e-commerce solution that is efficient, easy to use and free.
