Supplier Partnerships

Grow your business with TAFESSE.

We bring your products to customers you cannot currently reach — online buyers across Addis Ababa and Ethiopians in the diaspora ordering for family back home. No upfront cost. No risk. Just new customers.

The TAFESSE model
Simple, fair, built for growth

We do not ask you to change how you operate. We add a new channel on top of what you already do.

01
You hold the stock

Your products stay in your warehouse or showroom. Nothing changes about how you store or manage inventory. We list your products on TAFESSE with professional photography and descriptions.

02
We handle the customer

When an order comes in, we manage everything — the customer communication, payment collection, delivery scheduling, assembly, and aftercare. You focus on your products. We focus on the experience.

03
We collect or you prepare

When an order is placed, we either collect from you or you prepare the item for our team to pick up. Simple, agreed process, no disruption to your day-to-day operations.

04
You get paid in 48 hours

Once delivery is confirmed, you receive payment within 48 hours. No long waits, no complicated invoicing. Fast, reliable payment — every time.

The numbers
A deal that works for everyone

Transparent commission. No hidden fees. No upfront costs. You only pay when we make you a sale.

What you keep
88% of every sale
You set your product price. We take a 12% commission to cover customer acquisition, delivery, assembly and aftercare. You keep 88% — paid within 48 hours of delivery confirmation.
What you gain
Customers you cannot reach today
Online buyers who never walk into a physical shop. Ethiopians in London, Stockholm and Washington buying for family in Addis. Young professionals who only shop digitally. These customers are yours through TAFESSE.

Getting started
From conversation to first sale

We keep it simple. No complicated contracts, no lengthy onboarding. Just a straightforward partnership built on trust.

1
Initial conversation

We meet — in person in Addis or via WhatsApp video call. We explain the model, you ask every question you have. No pressure, no commitment at this stage.

2
Product selection

We agree which of your products to list first. We visit your showroom, photograph the products professionally, and create the listings. You approve everything before it goes live.

3
Partnership agreement

A simple, clear agreement. Commission rate, payment terms, pickup process. One page. Plain language. No surprises.

4
First order

When the first order comes in we coordinate everything together. We want the first delivery to be perfect — for the customer, for you, and for TAFESSE.

5
Growth

We review every month. What is selling, what the customers are asking for, how we can grow together. This is a long-term partnership — not a one-off transaction.
