Clingi connects buyers and sellers of general goods and services—from handcrafted local products to professional services, electronics, fashion, and more. Whether you’re setting up your first online store or shopping for something special, Clingi is the trusted digital space where it all happens.
Clingi began with a simple mission: make digital commerce accessible to everyone. Inspired by the hustle and resilience of Ghanaian entrepreneurs, our founders created a platform that anyone—regardless of budget, background, or business size—could use to trade safely online.
Today, Clingi has grown into a regional hub for buying and selling, with a strong focus on trust, inclusivity, and impact. As we expand beyond Ghana, our goal remains the same: build a platform by Africans, for Africans, that helps communities thrive.
To empower individuals and businesses across Africa to buy and sell securely, affordably, and confidently while using technology to unlock economic potential and create lasting social impact.
To become Africa’s most trusted and accessible online marketplace, enabling 1 million small businesses to succeed digitally by 2030.
