Fast replies help buyers move from question to checkout.

// THE BUYER PROBLEM

Buyers lose interest when the sale leaves the conversation.

Most African businesses already sell through messages, calls, counters, and QR codes. Kere connects those entry points so buyers can get answers, place orders, pay, and receive updates with less back-and-forth.

Common Questions

Choose an available time in our booking calendar and add a few details about your business. We focus on businesses already taking orders through DMs, WhatsApp, QR, POS, bookings, or multiple locations.
No. Kere is designed around the channels customers already use: WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, web storefronts, QR flows, and point-of-sale experiences.
Kere includes core bot order capture, catalog Q&A, checkout, order status replies, and human handoff. Provider message fees are handled separately as pass-through costs or message credits.
Kere charges a 1% platform fee on successful paid transactions across Sell, Operate, and Expand. Payment provider fees are separate and passed through transparently.
Choose Operate when physical locations create operational complexity: location inventory, location staff scope, POS device binding, cash reconciliation, QR table or room context, and per-location reporting.
Choose Expand when one brand has multiple unit or outlet types, such as hotel + restaurant, restaurant + lounge, retail + services, or restaurant + bar + room service.
Yes. Multi-business access is available across plans, and each business is billed independently. Branches, outlets, and units of the same business must use Operate or Expand instead of being split into separate businesses.
