Selling Online From Uganda: Getting Paid by Local and International Customers

Ugandan coffee, crafts, fashion, music and digital skills have buyers all over the world. The internet makes it possible to reach them. The challenge is getting paid in a way that is easy for the customer and affordable for you.

Selling to customers in Uganda

Selling to customers abroad

• Multi-currency wallets: hold US dollars and other currencies alongside shillings, and exchange when it suits you.
• EriPay-to-EriPay payments: customers and partners abroad with EriPay accounts can pay your Wallet ID directly.
