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?

Yes. Source.Ke is designed with M-Pesa integration in mind for Kenyan businesses. Source.Ke supports direct buyer-supplier payment coordination with agreed methods (M-Pesa, bank transfer, card processors) managed outside platform custody.

Can I find suppliers in my county?

Yes. Source.Ke features county-based supplier discovery covering all 47 Kenyan counties including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, and more. You can filter suppliers by county, category, and certification level.

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.

How are suppliers verified on Source.Ke?

Every supplier is vetted with KRA PIN verification, business registration checks, and KEBS/ISO certification tracking. Our credibility badge system lets buyers instantly gauge trustworthiness and compliance status.

Chama Power is Source.Ke's group buying feature inspired by Kenya's chama savings group culture. The platform's AI identifies buyers with compatible needs and groups them to pool orders and unlock bulk pricing discounts of 8-12%.

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.

What payment methods does Source.Ke accept?

Source.Ke does not hold funds. Buyers and suppliers agree payment methods directly, including M-Pesa, bank transfer, or external processors.

How do I register as a supplier on Source.Ke?

Sign up for free, complete your business profile with company info, products, and county. Upload KEBS/ISO certificates and KRA PIN for verification. Your profile goes live immediately on the free tier.

Is Source.Ke available in other African countries?

Source.Ke is currently focused on Kenya, serving all 47 counties. However, it's built with pan-African expansion in mind. Contact us to discuss opportunities in other markets.

How long does it take to get an RFQ response?

Most RFQs receive competitive bids within 2-4 hours from verified suppliers. Time varies based on product complexity, order size, and supplier availability.

What are the trust and safety measures on Source.Ke?

Source.Ke uses KYC verification, KRA PIN checks, fraud detection AI, business registration validation, KEBS/ISO tracking, delivery confirmation records, buyer-seller ratings, and a comprehensive dispute resolution system.
