    Shipping Location & Address

    On the checkout page, you must first select a Shipping Location from the dropdown menu (this determines your delivery fee or free pickup options). Next, provide your delivery address. If you have saved addresses in your account, you can quickly select one, otherwise, enter a new address.

    Choose Payment Method & Confirm

    Review your final total. We highly recommend our seamless M-Pesa STK Push for instant, hassle-free checkout straight to your phone. Alternatively, you can select the Invoice (Free Checkout) option if you do not want to pay immediately online. This allows you to place the order for free upfront and generates a formal invoice document that you can use to process the payment later (ideal for schools or company procurements). Click Place Order to finish the process. A digital PDF receipt or invoice will be emailed to you immediately!

Helpful Account Features

Tools to make your shopping experience faster and easier.

Using Favorites

As you browse the shop, you'll see a heart icon () on every product. Clicking this adds the item to your Favorites list. This is perfect for saving components you want to buy later for a specific project. You can access your saved items anytime via the heart icon in the main navigation bar.

Managing Addresses

Before you check out, you can save time by adding addresses to your profile. Go to your Dashboard > Addresses to add multiple delivery locations (e.g., Home, Campus, Office). You can set one as your default "Primary" address so it's automatically selected during checkout.
