The campus marketplace built for the Kenyatta University community. Buy, sell and trade campus essentials — safely, quickly, and for free.
KU Shoplicity is a peer-to-peer marketplace designed specifically for Kenyatta University. We make it easy for anyone in the KU community to buy and sell items — textbooks, electronics, food, services, and more — directly with fellow comrades.
No middlemen. No commissions. Just connect with a buyer or seller, agree on a price, meet on campus, and done.
Sign up with any email address and verify it with a one-time code. Takes under two minutes.
Search and filter listings by category, campus, condition and price. Or list your own item in minutes — add photos, set your price, choose your campus.
Use the built-in real-time chat to talk to the seller, ask questions, and agree on a meeting point — all within the platform.
Agree on a safe campus location — the library, main gate, a hostel common room. Hand over the item, pay cash or mobile money, done.
All transactions happen on campus between people you can physically meet. No strangers from outside KU.
No listing fees, no commissions, no subscriptions. Listing and buying is 100% free forever.
Built-in messaging so you never have to share your phone number to negotiate a deal.
List an item in under 2 minutes. Add photos, set your price, and go live instantly.
Always meet at busy, well-lit spots — the library, main gate, cafeteria, or a busy hostel common area. Never meet somewhere remote or private.
Check the item thoroughly before handing over any money. If something doesn't match the listing, you are not obligated to buy.
Use the KU Shoplicity chat for all conversations. This creates a record and keeps your personal number private.
If a deal seems too good to be true or a seller is pressuring you, use the report button or contact us. We take all reports seriously.
