Fill in your details, upload your National ID or Passport, KRA PIN, verified M-Pesa number, and link your thrift social page. Everything is encrypted at upload.
Our curation team reviews your identity documents and your social thrift presence. You'll receive an Approval, Rejection, or "More Info Needed" response within 48 hours.
Once approved, your first 3 items go through a quality review to ensure photography and descriptions meet ThriftEd standards. After that — you're fully live.
Your first 3 listings are manually reviewed by our curation team before going live. This keeps ThriftEd's quality bar high — and actually helps new vendors get more sales because buyers trust the standards.
Buyers filter by trust level. The higher your badge, the more search visibility, listing capacity, and payout speed you unlock.

"I was selling on Instagram for two years with no structure. ThriftEd gave me a real dashboard, real orders, and my first M-Pesa payout came in five days. It's a completely different level."
"The KYC process was straightforward. I had my ID verified in under 48 hours and my first 3 items approved the same day. Now I list whenever I want — no waiting around."
"The analytics section is what sold me. I can see which items get the most views, what's sitting too long, and what my buyers actually want. I've doubled my monthly sales in 3 months."
