Source.Ke provides supplier discovery, RFQ systems, quote comparison, and procurement workflow tools for businesses in Kenya.

How is Source.Ke different from Jiji and Jumia?

Unlike Jiji and Jumia which are consumer marketplaces, Source.Ke is built exclusively for B2B procurement. It includes a full RFQ system for competitive quoting, KEBS/ISO supplier verification, bulk ordering capabilities, business credit access, KPI dashboards, and M-Pesa payment integration - features consumer platforms simply don't offer.

How much does it cost to list as a supplier on Source.Ke?

Source.Ke offers a free tier for basic listings. Paid plans start at KSH 2,500/year for Standard, KSH 4,000/year for Premium, and KSH 10,000/year for Featured placement on the homepage.

How do affiliates earn on Source.Ke?

Affiliates earn tiered commissions: 8% for Free tier referrals, 10% for Standard (250 KSH/referral), and 30% for Premium and Featured tier referrals (up to 1,500 KSH per referral). Active affiliates referring 200+ suppliers can earn over 200,000 KSH per year in recurring commissions.

Does Source.Ke support M-Pesa payments?

Can I find suppliers in my county?

What is an RFQ and how does it work?

RFQ stands for Request for Quotation. As a buyer, you post a single request describing what you need, and verified suppliers respond with pricing and delivery times. You can compare all quotes side-by-side and select the best offer, replacing hours of WhatsApp messaging.

Can I access business financing through Source.Ke?

Yes. Source.Ke includes a Financing Marketplace that connects suppliers seeking working capital with vetted lenders. Lenders use your real marketplace data to make faster and fairer lending decisions than traditional banks.
