Frequently Asked Questions

Student Market is a dedicated multivendor platform (like Jumia) built exclusively for Daystar University students. It is designed to move campus commerce away from cluttered WhatsApp groups into an organized, searchable online catalog where you can find exactly what you need in seconds.

No. The platform is completely free for both vendors to list their products and students to browse and shop.

It’s very simple. Just add to cart, checkout with your details, and wait for the vendor to hit you up ASAP! Alternatively, you can click on the WhatsApp button on the product page, which will link you directly to the vendor’s chat, where you can finalize the purchase, ask for live photos, or negotiate delivery.

Payments are handled directly between the buyer and the vendor. The platform does not currently process payments. We recommend using M-Pesa or cash only after you have met the vendor and verified the product.

Since this is a campus-based market, delivery is usually coordinated between you and the vendor. After you place an order or reach out via WhatsApp, the vendor will contact you to agree on a convenient meeting point.

We prioritize the safety of our community. While any student can apply to be a vendor, every account is manually verified by the admin to ensure that only legitimate Daystar students are selling on the platform. Every product is vetted to ensure it meets our standards for safety, legality, and fair campus pricing.

Unlike WhatsApp, our platform allows you to:

  • filter by category
  • view clear price tags
  • see related items

You don’t have to scroll through hundreds of unrelated messages to find a pair of shoes or a laptop charger.

If a vendor doesn’t respond to your WhatsApp inquiry within a reasonable timeframe, you can let us know through our WhatsApp number: +254 710 417 054. We aim to keep the marketplace active.

Yes! As a multivendor site, we encourage students to list both physical goods (clothes, tech, food) and campus-based services. Just ensure you categorize your listing correctly so students can find you.

We value your privacy. Your contact information is only used to facilitate the connection between buyer and seller. We do not sell your data to third parties.
