Temi Banjo recently wanted to purchase a new laptop. His first instincts was to log into the internet on his smartphone to find a deal on a popular ecommerce store. After a few minutes of browsing through the product listings, Temi ordered a brand new PC which was dropped off at his apartment three days later.

Temi isn’t different from the typical African who shops daily on various platforms.

Online shopping in Africa has progressed with time, with more products selling off various e-stores. E-shopping is becoming widely used as compared to shopping from a physical store.

In fact, McKinsey & Company reported that online shopping would account for a 10% increase in Africa's retail sales by 2025.
