Lekkify has expanded its mobile-based e-commerce services to 4 African countries.

Lekkify is an online e-commerce platform that facilitates transactions and connects buyers directly with manufacturers without the retailers being involved.

The platform allows sellers to register their products on Lekkify and sell them directly to consumers. Lekkify acts as an intermediary in payment processing but does not store the products themselves or manage returns.

Lekkify has recently expanded its mobile-based e-commerce services to users in Ghana, Eygpt, South Africa, and Kenya.

This means that Lekkify users in Ghana, Eygpt, South Africa, and Kenya can purchase items on Lekkify and have them shipped to their country (free shipping).

Currently, Lekkify has only one distribution center in Africa but plans to open a distribution center in Kenya, Eygpt, and Ghana in mid-2020 and extend its services to more countries and North America.
