Built for

The kinds of shops we know.

01 — Bakeries

Sourdough subscriptions and Saturday pickups.

Standing orders, custom items, and a collection window that everyone in the neighbourhood already knows.

02 — Boutiques

Storefront, till and stock that match.

Ring up a sale on the floor and the website knows. No more selling something twice by accident.

03 — Producers

Wholesale and direct, one catalogue.

Sell to other shops at trade prices and to your customers at retail — same products, same stock, same place.

How it works

Set up your winkl in a weekend.

  1. 01 — Sign up

    30-day free trial, no card. Pick a subdomain like auntbeas.winkl.co.za.

  2. 02 — Add your products

    Upload photos, set prices, stock, categories. Or import a spreadsheet.

  3. 03 — Share the link

    Your shop is live. Take orders, manage stock, get paid via PayFast or Yoco.

The moat

Zero transaction fees from us. Ever.

Most shop platforms quietly take a slice of every sale you make. Shopify takes 2%. Yoco Online takes 2.95%. Wix takes a cut too.

Winkl charges a flat monthly fee and that is it. Your courier and payment gateway charge their own fees, paid directly to them — not to us. The more you sell, the more you keep.
