Elite Traders Lounge — Township Business Marketplace

Built for Elite Traders Lounge

A township business marketplace for South Africa, on Google Play: discover local businesses and services, book them, claim deals, connect with stokvels, and manage your own listings — with an in-app wallet and verified profiles.

Elite Traders Lounge — Township Business Marketplace

01

The challenge

Township businesses trade on word of mouth and cash. They had no shopfront customers could find, no way to take payment inside an app, and no way to prove they were who they said they were.

02

Our approach

A React Native and Expo app built around four things the market actually needed: discovery of local businesses and services, an in-app wallet topped up securely through PayGate, booking and deals, and stokvel connections. Profiles are verified through Smile ID, so a buyer can see who they are dealing with, and business owners manage their listings from the same app rather than calling someone to update them.
