Safety tips
Last updated 5 November 2026
Shop safely on DukaFiti:
- Pay the shop, not a person. Pay only to the shop's own till or paybill shown in your order, in cash at the shop, or pay on delivery. Use your order number as the reference.
- Never share your M-Pesa PIN. No shop or DukaFiti staff will ever ask for it. The "Pay with M-Pesa" button sends a prompt to your phone; you enter your PIN there only.
- Check the confirmation. A real order shows in My orders with its order number. Be careful with messages asking you to pay to a different number.
- Check goods on pickup or delivery before you pay cash, especially electronics.
- Meet at the shop. When collecting, go to the shop's address shown on its store page.
- Report problems. If a listing looks fake or a shop asks for unusual payments, tell us on the Contact us page.
