Kolab Commerce · Bazar In pilot
Your own webshop, or a whole marketplace. Same engine.
Kolab Commerce puts a Mauritian business online properly: a branded shop with local payments, island delivery and WhatsApp updates, priced in rupees. And when the ambition is bigger, the same engine runs a full multi-vendor marketplace with commissions, payouts and vendor dashboards.
- Juice, my.t money, bank transfer and cash on delivery, first class
- WhatsApp updates from order confirmed to delivered
- One stock truth with your till, online and in shop
- No percentage of your sales, ever
Made for
One engine, two ways to sell
A Mauritian business that wants to sell online today has three bad options. A global platform priced in USD that has never heard of Juice or cash on delivery. A Facebook page where orders drown in Messenger threads. Or an agency quote of Rs 200,000 for a site that dies at its first update. And the ones who dream bigger, a marketplace where many vendors sell together, have nowhere local to start at all.
Bazar is the local answer, in two modes. Your Shop puts one brand online: your own domain, your catalogue with variants and photos, guest checkout built phone-number-first, Juice and my.t money beside cash on delivery, and WhatsApp updates from confirmed to delivered.
Your Marketplace runs many vendors under one roof on the same engine: onboarding with BRN checks, commission rates you set, per-vendor dashboards and split payouts with clear statements. Retail groups, shopping centres, cooperatives, delivery platforms and ambitious founders start here, and a single shop can grow into one without changing platform.
Already selling, every day
Bazar is not a mockup of a shop. Its storefront engine sells daily for a real Mauritian business, its marketplace mechanics run in a working platform, and the pilot assembles the two into one commerce product.
- The storefront engine sells daily for a real Mauritian patisserie: browse, order, pickup and delivery slots, live in production
- WhatsApp order confirmations running with real customers since launch
- Marketplace mechanics proven in a working maker-space platform: vendor bidding, commissions and payouts
- The pilot work joins them on one engine, with local payments and island delivery zones

A closer look
How Kolab Commerce feels day to day
A storefront that sells the way Mauritius buys
One brand, your own domain, your catalogue. Customers browse on their phone, pick a pickup or delivery slot, and pay the way they actually pay: Juice, my.t money, card, transfer or cash at the door.
- Your own domain and brand, not a stall in someone else's mall
- Guest checkout, phone number first, no forced accounts
- Juice, my.t money, card, transfer and COD side by side
Every order visible, from oven to doorstep
Orders land on one board instead of drowning in Messenger. The team taps them through to prepare, ready, out and delivered, customers hear about each step on WhatsApp, and cash orders reconcile per driver per round.
- Statuses the team taps, never re-types
- WhatsApp updates sent automatically at every step
- COD reconciled per driver per round through Kolab Delivery
Many vendors, one roof, clean payouts
The same engine runs a full marketplace: vendors apply, pass a BRN check, load their own catalogue and watch their own dashboard. You set the commission, the engine splits every sale, and statements land monthly without a spreadsheet.
- Vendor onboarding with BRN checks and clear house rules
- Commission rates you set, per vendor or per category
- Split payouts with statements every vendor can read
Customers told before they think to ask
The order story plays out where Mauritians already are. Confirmation with an order number, out for delivery with the rider's name, and a thank you with a review ask when it lands, in the customer's language.
- Order confirmed with number and slot, instantly
- Out for delivery with the rider's name, not a tracking code
- A thank you and a review ask when the order arrives
Local by design
Commerce that knows the island
Global platforms price in USD and take a percentage of everything. Bazar is priced in rupees and built around how the island actually buys.
Cash on delivery, done properly
COD still rules online selling here. Every cash order reconciles per driver per round through the Kolab Delivery link, the same evening.
Juice and my.t money first
The payments Mauritians actually use come before international cards, and every method lands in one clean reconciliation.
The festival year
Divali, fin d'année, Mother's Day: the retail year runs on festivals, so storefronts, offers and stock are planned around them in advance.
A 65 km island
Same-day delivery is a real promise here, not a stretch goal. Zones, slots and rounds are built for island distances.
Three languages
Product names and storefront text in English, French and Kreol Morisien, translated once through Tradiksion.
VAT-correct, NexBooks-ready
Receipts carry VAT properly and sales flow into NexBooks, so the webshop never becomes a month-end mystery.
Boost in Kolab Commerce
A light touch here: Boost celebrates the fulfilment team and the happy customer, and it never pressures anyone on the road.
Preparation streaks
Orders packed complete and on time build a streak the fulfilment team watches grow, day by day.
Five-star moments
A verified five-star review pops up for the whole team, and the best ones feed Reklam with the customer's consent.
Never on the road
Boost stops at the door. No points for faster driving, no timers on riders, no speed pressure, full stop.
In the wild
What it looks like in real businesses
The live pilot. Customers browse the weekend range, pick a pickup or delivery slot and get WhatsApp confirmations. Orders stopped living in Messenger the first weekend.
Puts 4,000 references online with stock synced to three tills. A customer in Goodlands sees real availability, reserves online and collects, and the last item can never be sold twice.
Launches a marketplace where thirty planters sell under one roof. The co-op sets the commission, every planter watches their own dashboard, and payouts land weekly with statements anyone can read.
