Bumpa and Strawlo do a similar job. Both give you an online shop you run from your phone, with orders, stock and payments in one place.
The difference is which country each one was built for, and which currency you pay in.
The Prices
Bumpa is a Nigerian company and prices its plans in naira.
| Bumpa plan | Naira per month | Roughly in cedis |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | NGN 5,000 | about GHS 43 |
| Pro | NGN 10,000 | about GHS 85 |
| Growth | NGN 25,000 | about GHS 213 |
| Strawlo plan | Cedis per month | Cedis per year | Products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business | GHS 60 | GHS 650 | 50 |
| Business+ | GHS 150 | GHS 1,500 | Unlimited |
Naira converted at about GHS 0.0085 to the naira in September 2026.
Bumpa Starter looks cheaper than Strawlo Business, and on the headline number it is. Two things are worth checking before that decides it for you.
What the Starter plan actually includes. Cheaper plans usually cap how many products you can list and hold back features like a custom domain. Compare what you get, not just the price.
What currency you are billed in. If you are charged in naira, your cost moves with the naira to cedi rate. That rate is not stable, so your bill changes month to month for reasons that have nothing to do with your shop.
Strawlo bills you in cedis. The price you see is the price that leaves your account.
Built for Ghana or Built for Nigeria
Both platforms serve more than one country, but each was built around a home market first, and you feel it in the details.
Bumpa was built for Nigerian sellers. Its default setup, its payment options, its delivery partners and its support all start from Nigeria.
Strawlo was built for Ghana. That means:
Cedi pricing, not a converted naira price.
Ghanaian mobile money at checkout. MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AirtelTigo Money.
Ghanaian delivery. Local address capture and order tracking, not a Nigerian courier network.
Support that knows Ghana. Questions about MoMo settlement or delivery in Accra are everyday questions, not unusual ones.
If you sell in Ghana to Ghanaian customers, a platform whose first market is Ghana will fit better than one adapting to you.
What You Get on Strawlo
Business, GHS 60 a month. 50 products, your own domain, mobile money and card payments, payment on delivery, order and stock management, WhatsApp broadcast to past customers, and live visitor stats.
Business+, GHS 150 a month. Everything above with unlimited products, up to 3 separate stores, Strawlo branding removed, Instagram import, Shopify import, Stories and special offers.
A custom domain being included at GHS 60 matters more than people expect. On many platforms your own web address is held back for a higher plan.
About the Payment Fee
Strawlo takes 0% of your sales on every plan. You pay the monthly fee and nothing more.
Paystack is the payment processor. It is the company that moves money from your customer's mobile money wallet or card into your bank account. Its 1.95% pays for that work. It is not a Strawlo commission, and Strawlo takes none of it.
Where Bumpa Is Strong
A lower entry price, if the Starter plan covers what you need.
A large Nigerian user base, so there are many sellers using it and plenty of shared advice.
Good fit if you sell into Nigeria. If your customers are Nigerian, or you sell in both countries with Nigeria as your main market, Bumpa's home advantage works for you instead of against you.
Where Strawlo Is Stronger for Ghana
Priced in cedis, so your bill does not move with an exchange rate.
Ghana is the home market, not an extra one.
Payment on delivery is built in. Still how many Ghanaian customers prefer to buy from a shop they have not used before.
WhatsApp broadcast from your own number, so you can tell every past customer about a restock or a sale. See our WhatsApp broadcast post.
Your own domain on the GHS 60 plan.
Three stores on Business+, if you run more than one brand.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose Bumpa if your customers are mostly in Nigeria, or the Starter plan covers everything you need and the lower price matters most.
Choose Strawlo if you sell in Ghana to Ghanaian customers, you want to be billed in cedis, and you want mobile money, payment on delivery and local delivery working without setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bumpa cheaper than Strawlo?
The Starter plan has a lower headline price, about GHS 43 against GHS 60. Check what that plan limits, and remember naira pricing moves with the exchange rate while cedi pricing does not.
Can I use Bumpa in Ghana?
Bumpa is a Nigerian platform. Check directly with them what is supported for Ghanaian sellers, especially payouts, mobile money and delivery, before you move your shop across.
Does Strawlo work outside Ghana?
Yes, Strawlo supports other markets too. Ghana is the home market, which is why cedi pricing and Ghanaian mobile money are the default rather than an add-on.
Does either take a percentage of my sales?
Strawlo takes 0% on every plan. The 1.95% you see is Paystack's charge for moving money from your customer to you, not a platform cut.
How many products can I list?
Strawlo Business allows 50 products, and Business+ is unlimited. Compare that against the limit on whichever Bumpa plan you are considering, because product caps are usually what pushes people onto a higher plan.
Do I get my own web address?
Yes, on both Strawlo paid plans. You can also buy a domain inside Strawlo rather than setting it up somewhere else.
Check Two Things
First, count your products and see which plan on each platform actually covers you.
Second, check which currency you would be billed in. A naira price today is not the same naira price in six months.
If you are selling in Ghana, try Strawlo free for 7 days and take a few real orders before you decide.
Prices correct as of September 2026. Bumpa prices are published in naira and converted here at about GHS 0.0085 to the naira, so the cedi figures move with the exchange rate.
