Bidsoko - #1 Bidding Kenya

BidSoko is an online shopping platform where users get to acquire products and services through an auction process. The platform seeks to use bidding as a unique selling point and position itself as Kenya’s top online auction platform. A fete that is realistic and highly achievable as the platform comes with offers of up to 95 % of on products from well-known brands and FREE next day delivery of items.

Getting started on BidSoko is simple, you need to sign up for a free account. You register using your phone number. Upon registration, your account is credited with 100 free bids which you can start bidding with.

Additional bids can be bought through MPESA at the cost of KES 10 for each bid. To top up your account simply go to the Lipa na Mpesa option, select buy goods and services, enter 646553 as the till number, then the amount of bids you would want to purchase. Once done with the transaction enter your MPESA code as a confirmation.

Just like in offline bidding, users on BidPesa will place bids on particular items at regular intervals, each bid raises the price up by one shilling until a bid is successful. A bid is successful and you get the item when you are the last bidder when the auction window closes and the clock gets to zero.

The online auction being introduced by BidSoko should have the desired effect of taking the industry in a new and exciting direction while also providing great value without compromising on the quality of products consumers demand.
