Makuru is changing the face of eCommerce,
It’s easy for businesses to get set up, and fun for buyers to browse through both products and services at the click of their mouse.
Makuru was born out of the realisation that eCommerce was out of reach for many New Zealand small businesses. Following Covid-19 Level 3 We were Inundated with calls from all sorts of Mum and Pop businesses that wanted to go online, they either didn’t have the financial backing or they simply didn’t have the knowledge to run a full-blown eCommerce store on their own or the task seemed too daunting. An Idea was born, Bring them together in an online environment similar to a shopping mall. Let them create their own store, sell their products and services in a fully supported environment without the financial commitment. In a community of like-minded peers on the same journey.
Makuru is a simple, fully-featured online shop builder that anyone can use to create, run and grow their own eCommerce site or Shop. while growing a network of shops and shop clusters that are intrinsically connected yet all unique. With Makuru you can be different together and drive business to each other.
