Empowering local South African businesses by connecting them to a global marketplace, giving them the exposure they deserve.
🌍 We're Launching Soon
Be the first to experience a new way to support and discover local businesses. We are starting with South African businesses, but international customers can still order!
What is TownTrade?
TownTrade is an innovative platform designed to help local shops and small businesses in South Africa connect with customers globally. It's not just about selling products—it's about preserving local culture, supporting entrepreneurship, and enabling growth on a global scale.
We believe in the power of small businesses and the unique value they bring to the world. TownTrade exists to bridge the gap between local artisans, craftspeople, and the massive online marketplaces that dominate the eCommerce space. Our goal is to ensure that the incredible work done by local creators is seen, appreciated, and supported—no matter where the customer is.
